this is the third time ive had to right this !!!GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! Computer kept freezing
Anywho, This is my FIRST grow and i recently went to amsterdam and broght home 10 seeds from cannabis seed co. 5 fem (SH) strawberry haze & 5 (HG) Himalayan Golds. i started 5 seeds dec. 1st and 2 survived. not sure which cuz i didnt label but i think 2 HG survived. Im doing a Basic DWC in 5 gal buckets. running dual air stones to each. seeds where started in root riot plugs in Grodan with hydroton for support. i got 400wt HPS from HTG & 3 6500k CFLs. I trimmedone plant at 10" and the other i didnt. now i wish i did cuz at 2 months its 58" tall. i started with pure blend grow nutes and continued to use into the flowering stage for a week due to financial reasons. i ran out of nutes 4 days ago and i have to refill buckets every other day. i orderd nutes from HTG yesterday but they wont be her till probably monday feb 7th. that will be 8-9 days with no nutes. i bought AN Connoisseur flower A&B for my base nutes. i also bought AN Big Buds, AN Bud Candy, Botanicare Berry Sweet Carbo, & Emerald triangle's Snow Storm Ultra...I think i went a lil over board but whatever...what of these should i use? should i go to local hardware/walmart and buy miracle grow or something to hold me over till the real nutes arrive...the leaves are turning a slight yellowish color on the inside of the fan leaves. nothing bad just not as rich dark green as before...that i believe is due to lack of P & K or one of the 2...i think...lol...ive added some pics, let me know what you think... thanx nick

I'm fairly certain they will survive but they are going to suffer a little bit going that long without nutrients.
I don't know if I can recommend any cheap store bought nutrients to use in a DWC... I'd go with whatever balanced liquid nutrient they had. Don't go overboard with it. I'm not entirely sure you'll need to at this point... 4 days in... but it is hard to be certain.
As far as the nutrients go you need to be keeping them within reason. The A+B should be used in low concentration. Like 2-3ml per gallon is PLENTY, especially in combination with everything else. The Big Bud and the Bud Candy are going to be used probably at about the same volume (if you have the powdered Big Bud 1tsp per gallon adds up to about 600ppm, so take it easy). The Berry Sweet is really just a magnesium supplement with some carbos, so feel free to begin using it at around 5ml per gallon after the 6th week or so of flowering. During the last week before you harvest I think you want to cut out the big bud, but run the Bud Candy and Berry at full strength, with just 1ml or so of the A+B. Then flush, ripen, harvest.
They are looking good on 4 days of no nutrients. You only have 5 more days... Honestly... I think they would probably start to "dim" on you in a day or two, and by the time they are just about to start looking bad everything should have arrived and they are going to be some hungry monkeys. Might work out to your benefit actually, kinda, clean the system of veg nutrients and gear up for a good PK flowering boost.
I suppose we are going to find out one way or another. I do wish you luck in your decision.
thanks
