Yeah ive was following their feeding schedule and it fucked my plants up. I am using koolbloom also. I would do 1/4 strength at first dude then work it up week after week if they r wanting more food.I'm just entering flower now.. first time hydro grower, wouldn't mind some info myself.. how are your plants looking?
Are you using RO water with any supplements? Have you been going by what the bottle says? Just curious.
Yeah, I was having some problems with the GH flora. plants are finally healthy enough to throw into flower.. its gonna be a stressful 2 months haha. Keep me posted. I'd like to see how things go.Yeah ive was following their feeding schedule and it fucked my plants up. I am using koolbloom also.

What kind of system are you running right now?Yeah, I was having some problems with the GH flora. plants are finally healthy enough to throw into flower.. its gonna be a stressful 2 months haha. Keep me posted. I'd like to see how things go.
Running 8 individual 3 gallon DWC.What kind of system are you running right now?
I would definitely suggest goin with the 5 gallon buckets dude. Ive done both and the 5 gallon buckets yield more due to the root mass. And ph is more stable with more water. Im running a rdwc system that i built with four 5 gallon buckets and a 20 gallon reservoir. I got sick of the bubble buckets because i always had to add water everyday and maintenance was 100x harder then the reservoir system. Im running a 5x5x7 tent with a 750 watt hps. I got the lumatek dimmable ballast so i can either run a 600,750 or a 1,000 watt. Im not bumpin up my wattage to 1,000 just yet because i gotta get this system dialed in (only my 2nd run with the system i built). Waste of electricity of my girls aint producing.Running 8 individual 3 gallon DWC.
6.5'x6.5x6.5 Grow tent
600 watt MH
600 watt HPS
its a decent set-up, but will probably be moving up to 5 gallon buckets soon.. Ph should be easier to balance with more water.. whats your grow like?
What are you currently mixing of each bottle per gallon?Cant seem to dial it in
I was just following their recommended amount off of their recirculating schedule. NOT ANYMORE!What are you currently mixing of each bottle per gallon?
What ppm and pH does your solution show?
Are you using a pen to test the ppm or EC? What are you using to test the pH? The information on the GH feed schedule should be looked at as a "never exceed" amount only.I was just following their recommended amount off of their recirculating schedule. NOT ANYMORE!
I have a hanna ph pen and i have a ppm pen. My ppm was at 1300 when following their schedule. Im going to try half strength next go roundAre you using a pen to test the ppm or EC? What are you using to test the pH? The information on the GH feed schedule should be looked at as a "never exceed" amount only.
If you are not testing the ppm/EC or pH you have no idea how strong your solution is, or if the plants can even take up the nutrients from solution.
If you do not have the equipment to do the testing, I would recommend lowering the nutrient level by about half of what it says on the GH feed schedule. I would use about 60-75% of the micro and 50% of the grow and bloom amounts.
Im running hydro so im in a total different boat as u. I think i over nuted so bad that the buds have completely stopped growing. The leaves arent all burnt and crispy just very dark green. (Tips r burnt a bit)feeding daily with enough run off I do not have salt buildup so no need for a flush for me till the end.
veg I either do 5ml 5ml 5ml or a 5ml micro 7 ml bloom
In hydroponics - pH is more important than ppm. A 'weak' solution with the proper pH will give you healthy strong plants and will be better, easier to maintain, than a strong solution with an improper pH.Im running hydro so im in a total different boat as u.
