I found some new info on Veg+bloom. They say anywhere from 200-600ppm Veg and 600-800ppm for flower and 1000-1500ppm after the 3rd week of flower. I just got done ordering a RO set up. Going to use a float valve and make a 5 gallon tank that feeds into a 5 gallon res for pre mixed nutes. So when its empty i can just open the tank valve and fill the res. Kind of defeats the purpose of my stealth grow room if i have all this crap laying around. Oh well.

Got my pots ready to go. "pre drilled" them. Had to soak the shit out of them before i had any runoff......except the air holes! water loves running out those. Took some pics again. I can see a difference from the ones i took last night in the previous post and now. Getting some spots on the yellow leaves on the BC. Ill probably bump up to 550ppm when i repot.

potted up today to 3 gallon air pots. Hit em with 590ppm nutes and upped my ballast to 100%. Packing the dirt around the solo cups worked perfect! All i had to do was drop the plant into the hole....perfect fit. Packed it a little bit and fed. They were getting pretty root bound. Probably shoulda transplanted sooner.

not looking too bad. Still kinda yellow even at 600ppm but its only been a few days since I transplanted. I also got a start on me RO system (that still isnt here yet!). I mad a 14 gallon res out of a tote and a 5 gallon nute res from a 5 gallon bucket. Used a bulkhead in each with a 1/2" ball valve. Put the bucket under the res to fill it then i can fill my hand held waterer from the bucket. Ive got a pump and some air stones coming to aerate both res's. Gonna use a float valve in the 14 gallon res to shut the RO water off when its full.

i noticed tonight my Blue Cheese leaves are folding up and it seems yellower. The dairy queens still look ok. Its been 3 days since transplant. Am I gonna have to push the nutes up some more? im at 600ppm and still several days away from a water since these are 3 gallon pots. Or is this just stress from the transplant.

pics 4,5,6 are the BC

looks like you`ve been busy....things look good....that bc looks like it is lacking, it may require a little more feed than the rest. your still headed in the right direction.

Yeah. The others all have it but not as bad. I had some jack hole telling me I shouldn't fim seeded plants and put the tops back on. Gotta love forums

lol, did he tell how to put the tops back on. i mean right or wrong that's just not something you undo, if it works or it don`t you count it as a learning experience.
there's a few things that can cause this, low light(not it), nute issue(i don`t think so), lower leaves do die off(not it), over watering(this is my call). let that plant dry out a bit wait till your soil starts to pull from the sides of the pot before you water it again. then lets see where its at. a lot of the blues are light feeders, or just plain touchy, but with it being mixed with a skunk it shouldn`t be an issue but you never know. now if it starts to show dark vanes or spots etc. then we`ll look at the nutes.

here is some current pics. Im thinking they all need more nutes but according to my moisture meter they are at 2.5 to 3 so they really dont need water. Hopefully they will hold out for a couple more days. There are some brown spots on the BC.
