:fire:so finally get to tell someone about my grow... turns out its you.. anyways first grow, im using advanced nutes i dont have a tds meter but the only prob ive had through out this whole process was when i first got the clones someone had put wayyyy too much nutes in with the batch of clones in the tray and burned em'. they recovered nicely, originally started with six ... down to five , expected four so im having to train one to get the top out from under the canopy of the others. it took almost three weeks for this little guy to form roots, but once it did it took off. anyways vegging for 3 weeks under a 400 mh ready to start flowering but i dont have a hps yet ...... explosive growth i keep my ph anywhere from 5.5 to 5.9 like i said no tds meter just add about half a gallon of water a day or so depending on the amount the plants use and evaporation. i keep my res at 74 degrees and room temp at about 78....so the questions are.... when i get ready to flower should i transition them? and how ... or what is the best way to do it? concerned that removing N all together would shock em... let me know

plants look great. I want to try this!
hows ur aero setup put together dood?

ultrasonic or highpressure?
@ 1250-1450 gph pump with misters... @ 8 dollars per bucket... 15 gallon resevoir, with a fan to keep down temps.. just dont point the fan at the water point it at the side of the bucket. my room is about 55-60 degrees so it helps keep the res temp down, if you can get an inline pump that is really the best option. I read it all online with a little research u can do this too. ps first grow, no tds meter. just add water daily to keep up to level and change once a week. ph i jkeep around 5.5 to 5.9. distilled water will provide best result due to little to no tds so i know what ever i put in, is what the ppm IS.

There looking great. You don't have to have a hps to flower, you can flower with a mh. You will get a little better results with the hps tho, but if you want to start flowering just switch the time to 12/12 now and put the hps in when you get it.

yeah they look good don't worry about the bloom nutes I'm sure there is some nitrogen in it just not as much as there is for vegging. MH is fine for budding you might want to go AHEAD and flip em soon because they will elongate onmced put into flowering. Than when you get your HPS just switch lights.
