Hey Everyone! Im no professional at all and looking for as much input as I can
to make my grow turn out as best as possible for my first "bigger" grow. Before I explain my problem I'm having with my plants ill give you the list of everything that I have been using and explain how my set up looks, will upload pictures soon. I have Two sides in my medical cannabis space. One side which is smaller for vegetation and has 40 clones In red party cups & 4 mothers all in sunshine 4 mix (Mothers I have got from a friend). I have a 1000 watt Hps light with a circle matte white finish reflector, and its all connected to 1000 watt ballast. The timer is set to 18 hours on and 6 hours off. The Temperature in the veg room is sitting between 25-27 Celcius while the light is on. Also have a 24" fan running as well. I have two 5 gallon buckets, one used for water and one used for Nutrients. For nutrients I have been using Sensi Bloom A & B and was told to use 5mls of A and 10 Mls of B. I noticed most of my plants are turning yellowish with brown spots appearing on the leaves. I have other nutrients but don't know the exact right ones to use for Vegetation and how much to use in a 5 gallon bucket (Guy at the Hydroponic store said these will be all the nutrients ill need). If someone could help me out with the right Nutrients to use/ how much MLS of each nutrient for a 5 gallon bucket for the vegetation cycle as well as how often to use nutrients on plants you will be a life saver! Just need the right watering and Nutrient Feeding schedule !

Nutrients I have.

Sensi Bloom A&B
Grotek VitaMax
GroTek Monster Bloom
B-52
Bud Candy
Sensizym
OverDrive

If you are a new grower, you should simplify... Too many different nutes. My rec would be dyna gro Foliage Pro and Protekt - start to finish,

Psst some pics so we can see.

You may need Calmag.

Also, you did not mention PH of what you water/feed...

Ive been experiencing smaller grows with some friends in the past, I believe go big or go home.
I don't mind making some mistakes with a bigger grow at first since money is not an issue.
Im using tap water but letting it sit for over 24 hours, I just got all the nutrients a few days ago, and will
start using them in the next few days. Picking up a Ph indicator and Ph Up & Ph Down today or tomorrow. I believe with
a soil grow you want a Ph water value of 6.0 - 7.0 Preferably in the middle around 6.5?

Im using the advanced Nutrients Calculator that they supply on there website, also read the back of each nutrient slowly.

Grotek VitaMax

Young Plants: 2 table spoons/gal use weekly. By weekly I'm guessing once a week? or do I use every time I feed?
Also I'm using a 5 gallon bucket so 2 x 5 = 10 table spoons for 5 gallons.

Sensi Bloom A&B

Week 1 - Week 6
Part A&B 4mls/L

4mls per litre of each (19 litres in 5 gallons)
4x19 = 76mls

So 76mls of both A&B for 5 gallons

B-52 (bigger yields)
Start using in week two.
Week 2 - Week 6
2mls/L - 2mls/L
2mls x 19L = 38mls

Bud Candy (taste)
Start using in week one
Week 1 - Week 6
2mls/L - 2mls/L
2mls x 19L = 38mls

Sensizym (breaks down dead roots)
Start using in week one
Week 1 - Week 6
2mls/L - 2mls/L
2mls x 19L = 38 mls

OverDrive
Start using in week six
week 6 - week 7
2mls/L x 19 L = 38mls

Ill take some pictures tonight.

I believe Sunshine Mix is technically not soil and you want to go lower like hydro. But if you don't know where your PH is, that may very well be your issue. Also, the companies always recommend too high of nute levels. You want to ease into it, starting at about 25% the rec dose.

You want to let them dry out fairly well between feedings. I use nutes every other watering, about once a week.

Most nute companies have a feed schedule on their websites..
