OD I guess there aren't any grow stores in your area?...
No, I want to take a trip to a good hydro store, but thats about a 2 hour drive. I will check out my normal spot for soil, but I dont know what they would have this time of year. Hmm, what am I thinking... recycle! These wont get transplanted until the switch to the flowering room, so I will have the soil from the plants that are flowering now. That should solve my soil issue.OD I guess there aren't any grow stores in your area?...
What I would suggest is roughly calculate how many more waters you think you are going through (say an extra 6 weeks worth) and then start with the min 0.1ml per litre (roughly 0.5ml per gallon) then increase this 10 times over the next 6 weeks worth of watering until you are at 5ml per gallon...That flushing thing again. I have flushed and not flushed. The last grow I flushed, maybe this one I won't? I think it makes no difference if your bud is dried and cured properly. Actually I don't like to flush, that's a week to ten days of nothing but water. I don't care for that idea, maybe the last few days of nothing but water but ten days?
DST you are correct, this and the last grow I have been concentrating on creating that living soil idea. First I concentrated on the buds, then after acquiring a little knowledge concentrated on the leaves, now it's time to concentrate on the root structure. As those who have been around know, I don't use hot mixes of nutes, I use the less is more method of fertilization. Anyway since starting the clones on rhizotonic a few days ago, today it seems like they have exploded with growth. I gave them some more rhizo today, yesterday they got a light dose of N and some hygrozyme. I also use liquid karma every once in a while on all my plants. As for the chelating, it makes nutrients available immediately to your plants as dst said. My actual macro nutrients pretty much stay the same. I use 9-3-6 for grow and jacks classic blossom booster for flowering, 10-30-20 and I'm quite happy with the results. If I think they need extra N, I give them fish emulsion 5-1-1. I also use silica, 0-0-3. About every fifth watering or so I give them some molasses for the bacteria in the soil to eat. Every once in a while they get some cal-mag. Today in the mail my Zone from dutch master arrived, more root stuff to try out.
Back to the pk thing, it's something like week three or four of flowering, how much pk should I start them with?
I would go for a macro problem, give them something like the product I suggested, contains all those essential elements (including molybdenum - which I would guess as your problem.) Then continue with a light feed from there....hey guys been a little while since ive posted. i harvested most my plants and put a couple more in to replace them. ive got a ? though for my new plants. i was trying to keep these plants healthy and green, so i have been PHing my nutes adding superthrive and molasses yet i still have yellowing on my leaves around the second full week of flower. i havent changed watering cycle so its not over watering, my nutes for flower are 0-10-0 mixd with a small amount of my veg 3-1-3. not sure if i need to get a flower stimulant that is real high in P, like beastie bloomz. thanks for the advice.
last two pics are the plants in ?- the others have the dead growth and yellowing but too far into flower to worry about.
Recycle for sure!!! Works wonders.No, I want to take a trip to a good hydro store, but thats about a 2 hour drive.

Thoughts...WOW! That's my first thought, second thought...wish I had that much space....third thought, You have spent quite a bit of $£'s I hope it all works out, seems like you are on top of things....and just a few 600's eh?!?! lol. Please keep us posted of your progress and feel free to post and chime in whenever you like.Got my 600watt room under way over the past couple days...
Thoughts?
Thanks and will do.Thoughts...WOW!

Thanks, A/C hopefully should not be needed. The room will have two 8" 750 cfm Can Fans just for cooling the lights which the air being pulled through is cool basement air...dehumidifier will be used if necessary (hopefully neither will be needed to cut down on electric consumption.yeh MedHeadGRWR that room is something serious
Any a/c or dehumidifier? Im sure you got it covered.
Thanks! What strain is that?MedHeadGRWR daaaamn man thats going to be some sweet setup
so i got a question for the 600, i took a couple of clones well into flower like 5 ish weeks, the clones are lookin crazy, almost not like mj at all, question is will they eventually sort themselves out ?

Thanks man, in the year of owning the house they never came in to check the water meter so I am not concerned about that. As for the strains being used, here is a list of what I have to choose from.medhead, do you have someone who comes in to read your water meter? That's the first thing that pops into my mind...other than WOW! That is quite the serious outlay of dollars. Just please don't tell me after all of that you are going to start with bagseed. Just for future reference, you could have gotten your HO lights for much cheaper. In case they take a dump, you can get what is called high bay HO lights from contractor lighting supply for half the cost. They are not grow lights per say but they do the same thing at half the cost. I've done two complete grows with a four tube, four foot t-5, 20k lumen output and I currently have said fixture in my mother keeper grow tent for vegging and it does a great job.

Other than that, a tip of the hat to you, that is going to be one mean set-up. Good luck and good growing.
Just got back from my local House and Garden growshop....there were a couple of dudes buying the shop out (Dutchies in a German car - which means they live on the border and probably register their car in Germany since it's cheaper - although illegal to do!!!) However, I don't think the illegal car really worried them since they were buying about the same, if not more grow equipment than Medheadgrwr....it's always interesting to see the character that come into a grow shop!!And DST, I started my girls off with one ml of pk 13-14 last night, per gallon of water.
