I use the recipe for success too. I started at about 20% strength. The nutes are pretty potent. I am still only doing 50% on the BC nutes but full strength on the little bottles and it is working for me. I tried going at 2/3 but it started to burn my girl. I moved the whole recipe to 50% but was then getting deficiencies in what appeared to be calcium. So I run the BC trio now at 50% but all the supplemental little bottles I run at 100% according to the recipe. It is working out great now and she is loving it. She is still growing taller and buds are getting fat.
So do you think i should flush and use 50% i will go do that right now i dont want them to die even if it is bs seeds. but my thing is this should i let it go see how it turns out for a few days no better then change b/c i got some killers going i think but i just dont know dont wanna wait to long and they die like i said i went about 75% prob maybe 80% strength on the Boost's

And sorry but im not much use when it comes to hydroponics, i havent looked into that yet. Im going basic for now.
No biggie glad to have some company for this and for bending i would go very slow yes if it breaks she will fix herslef but still dont want that have to start over for now for three days just slightly bend it over make it look like ---->( and continue on just b patient and slow with her you will need a screen 2inch by two inch when she is 8 to 9inch tall start the process

Whats up man Im glad I got to this grow early it looks like it will be good. Im am here for any advise and subscribed so looks like Im along for the ride to the jungle lol. Quick question how much did you lights, nutes, rubbermaids, ph meter, hydroton, rockwool, and everything else needed for this grow cost you roughly. I needed to know because I am thinking of starting up something like the setup you have with the DWC bubbleponics and HPS/MH lights instead of the CFL growing I have been doing here lately, like the CFL grow I am in currently the link is in my sig.

I should said this in my past post but, you have alot of wasted light in there I would section off a smaller section that those tubs can fit with enough room for the plants to get big and healthy but not too much room so your light doesnt get reflected back to you plants it just gets wasted like now. Also do you have the duct fans and the 6" ducting for that MH/HPS cool tube reflector.

AWESOME glad to have ya the setup right now with everything and probs along the way around 1k us dollors wasted light very smart i know i have a larg area wic is great ill try to explain i am working in my basement more room than i will ever need or use i am building a room down there a real room 2by4 drywall reflecting walls the hole deal right now with my light it doesnt get hot enough being a basement to worry about it the extra heat helps i have a oil heater running to it is right at 80.0 to 81 no higher no lower ever when i get done with my room EVERYTHING will be vented but as fr right now i think im good. I just went down and cleaned out one 8 gallon tub and took all my smallest damageds ones wich was only 3 and they are running 5.5ph straight water for a week or so then back onnutes the ones that are taking the nutes well i let go for now if they change so will there water mix. Back to the lights this was me and my partners idear to use that room as the veg room for now get a reflector tent and use that for flowering i will finish the room in a few months no hurry for that if you think that or any is a bad idea please let me know

Ok, we all agreed i had nute burn with some of the young smaller ones sooooo, what i did is took one 8 gallon tub emptyed it out, refilled with cool water at a Ph of 5.5 on the dot, took the 6 that r the smallest, and the ones that didnt take to the nutes, they are in the fresh water with no nutes. so i left the other 8 runing in the full nutes b/c they show no sign of being nute burned thus the advantage of having two grow sites love hydro lol. anyway its been about three hours and it might just b me but i think they are all looking alot better as i typ, if the others progess to get worse will do the same with there water but ill experament for now and keep you all posted on what they do and how they take to the stress and new nutes rember just homegrown seeds so all in fun got my indica waiting on me to get my shit together hope some of this helps you guys all trial and error and btw i cant spell worth crap bare with me

just a fyi every fertilizer regimen i have ever come across is a bs they always have to be fine tuned and alot of the times half the products are unnecessary they just want you to spend $$$$ and buy there whole line..... like advance nutrients for instance they are the worst in that regards
