Id think the best advice i could think of to give you would be go half strength and see what happens. The plant should tell you whats up. First time in a new style is always a steep curve. ;)

I agree . Start with half and never exceed full strength. Some would say start at 1/4 strength.

Please take that with a grain of salt. You must know your strain to push above 1200. I personally have never run anything indoors above 1200 and start to see tip burn and some fox tailing on some strains. Theres a lot of guys who stay below 1200. Just don't forget. Nute burn is heart breaking this late in the game.
Thankyou......

Also Bacatare : I have a huge plant outside and two clones I took off of the huge plant and they are probally 15% of the size of the bigger plant (mother plant). These ppm levels are gonna be diffenrent since the mother plant is a lot bigger ?????? OR feed them the same % of nutes (start off at 1200) maybe and give the mother plant more water/nute mix ???
Starting from the first posts again, I think what we have here is an example of what is printed on the label, versus what to do because the plant is saying what it wants.
You say clones, but is plant and or clones all flowering? Are some in veg?
How old are the clones?
Have they rooted yet?
How long ago?
Soil?

The mother plant was inside but it couldn't handle the heat so I transplanted outside in Mid May and Is thriving and is Big. Has many preflowers already and has six main buds and probally already 3.5 feet tall and at the end of veg.... The clones were taken from the mother and have been outside thriving for prbally 6 weeks ( I forget). They have no preflowers and are probally 1.5 feet tall with 1 main cola.......Both plants were started in miracle grow mois cont 75% and 25% misc...

op well water comes from ground water that all plants in nature drink, tap water is well water that man has chemically treated and filtered before sending it to you. you mix nutes by volume ie 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water as an example you water larger plants with more water, hence the bigger plant gets more food. if it was me i'd use the well water, mix nutes at 1/4 strength and ignore ph, nature will take care of it. and I say 1/4 because its easier to increase vice curing a bad nute burn.

my well water has a ppm of 30-50, you should get your water tested too see why it is so high. it could be loaded with a mineral that can lockout your nutes. RO systems aren't to expensive will be worth it at the end
