Plants are looking sickly, not sure what to do.

Okay that makes me feel much better. Thanks.
So could I just switch to the seabird guano and ditch the General Hydroponics (again I have only used 25% in a single watering)?
And with the seabird guano, add a single tablespoon to each pot every 2 to 3 watering. And do this schedule through flower?

Sure can use it entire grow. Its the perfect allround nut in my world organic. If its a 10 week plant flower give last guano 2 weeks from chop its organic. no need to flush it. My rule is it possible go an extra week in flower vs early chop unless issues. others can suggest ur nut that may be good don't throw it away because somebody my luv it and have perfect chim in.

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.

I usually because of space flower healthy 1 to 2 foot plants in veg to flower. For height issues its scary at 1st but for my 400 watt closet usually i keep them 1 foot away. if space gone if they look green healthy I let them go to 6 inches to my light and scary part, pinch at the 1 foot mark and bend sideways using string or small weight keeping plant from bending back up. sideways at the 12 inch mark allows sideways branch of super buds all perfect distance. At 1st you may pinch bend and break a branch but hey, it happens learning. no biggie. I go entire grows without breaking a branch pinch sideways. many strains stretch so you now have a remedy that make canopy all 12 inch away. think you have a 600 watt so that may be foot and a half away? research it for max distance. IF they get lighter top look not so healthy it's showing light burn and just move light 6 inches further away.

Guano isn't going to help in the last 2 weeks. Guano is not as soluble is liquid nutrients, it takes time to process in the dirt. Not gonna do you any good trying that.

Thanks for the information that has worked perfectly for 10 years. Guess my plants are wrong. I'll let them know. Even my side by side actual test results using clones and actual proof is just plain wrong using nuts of different guanos. Love the book quoting nerds that probably have little actual experience. preciate it pal

You said you grew in a closet right? Okay bro. Trying to spread misinformation trust me I know what I know

So one more time, you are using schedule for Hydroponics recirculating systems, you have to follow drain to waste program! And you are probably @700 ppm scale, you have to use what your meter reads, thats usually @500 ppm scale. Your plants not gonna be defficient in 5Gs if you have already fed. You are more likely feeding too much...

Don't blame or get ride of ffof. Its perfectly fine and grows super plants

This right here is very questionable by itself

These plants have good definition and will be fine if you start slow adding nuts. Don't blame or get ride of ffof. Its perfectly fine and grows super plants if you don't add anything the 1st month using it. The plant nerds hate it and chase the ultra organic many items package that's great for experienced. The overflushing of water will delay them looking good for a few days but will be fine. The distance for that light is fine for healthy happy plants. Anytime stressed give them 6-12 inches extra room for a few days and then closer. Go light on your nuts at 1st and forget package recommendations that are way too hot for newbies. try maybe 25% recommended but others can suggest who use it. The perfect newbie nuts i'd suggest seabird guano a tablespoon every 2 or 3 waterings directly to soil. I use it all the time. nice looking plants actually just stressed at the moment.

those are guidelines, all nutes tell you to go light on seedlings and work your way up. i had the idea of adding a literal sprinkle pinch of borax to my mixed nute water for the garden then realized later that boron near 1 ppm will stunt and kill plants. the 2 fertilizer mixes with micro i have had 0.01% and 0.02%. kinda imagined just adding enough to get the boron to a certain level and that is the maximum dose.

i just willy nilly it and gives them a little of everything in conservative amounts, and a plant i give more concentrated solution to just to see if i can up my game on my other plants, if it suffers it isnt much and easily fixed.
