So I'm running the flora series 3part. I'm in week 4 of veg. I have minimal root growth coming through the net pots.. They are poking through but nothing like I expected. Above growth is great, nice and healthy. Now, they are in 5gal buckets With 3 gal of solution about 750-780ppms. I used the gh chart for week 3 or 4 which gives you a ppm of around 1100+. I filled my res with 2 gal of water, then mixed my solution per 1 gal at full strength. After mixing that gallon into the res to make a 3gal at 30-33% diluted solution there for giving me 750-780ish. So here is my question, if I wanted to increase the ppm's should I just use the flora micro?
Question about ppm adjustment???

at 4 weeks of veg, you should have more roots than you're describing. i don't understand why so little solution in your containers. how much distance between the top of the solution, and the bottom of the net pots? 1100 seems a bit high, seeing any signs of over-feeding? you don't give a lot of details, so i can't give you real good advice, sorry. a pic would really help too. i'd ph to 5.8 myself. if your solution amount were larger, you prob. wouldn't see those swings either...
Solution was about 1/2" above bottom. And I had slow to no root growth, above vegation looks great, slow growth but heathy looking. I lowered the water level 7days ago to encourage the plant to look for water. Which I lowered to just below the net pot. It worked they are between just tips poking out and an 1" but they haven't improved root growth yet atleast not what I expected. By buddy has the other 2 clones and they have nice roots establishes . I had them at 750 2 weeks ago and they looked real hungry. So last weeks res change I bumped up to 1000-1100 and they loved every second of it except for very slight nute burn on tips. So that's why this res change yesterday, I lowered them slightly. I will post a pic in the morning when I go down to check on them
