Mag is a mobile macro nutrient( one of the major elements your plants need. Hence the lime recommendation. Just go with calmag at recommended dose every feeding. Tap water already has a bit fyi

Calcium is immobile macro nutrient. They're both essential to plant growth.

Mobile indicates the ability of the phloem tissue of the plant to shift nutrients around to parts of the plant that needs it.

Nice man, damn those Maui's look insane. Love em. I am using pro mix BX, does watering until they give decent runoff twice a day apply to my medium? If so I'm switching over.

No cody, the mix I'm using has a lot of perlite and no lime. Its known as a "soilless mix". I'm still learning myself..

Maybe you are right then, hopefully someone with more experience can chime in and let us know. I really wish I could find the best, cheapest soil, but I've used promix and now sunshine and I can't say I've found anything much better for the price at $42 a bail

All the liquid additives scare me, but I guess if that's what's needed..so be it.

They scare me too man, I put half of what was recommended on my GH nutes and it burned a lot of my crop(8 of 12) pretty bad. I may just reduce my load to 4 or 6 and grow them big. I'll attach a few pics in a few minutes. But yea some input on that would be nice from anyone who knows lol

I use 2tsp per gallon with the fox farms, that seems to do the trick quite well. I think I'm going to start feeding heavier here in the next week or so.

They loom great man. What strains? Feminized? I think I'd scrog them bad boys. What light do you have them under?

I think you should wait another week or two then start feeding at very light strength, 1/4 strength. If it calls for 4 tsp per gallon, use 3/4 a teaspoon first feeding. Ease them into it. Answer my questions up there though^ lol

They are under a 400w Mh at 25" away. They are a UK Cheese strain it's a tasty hybrid. I've smoked a lot of this type but never grew it. They look better on camera then they do up close trust me. But how do they look for being just over a month old? I had to clip off dying fan leaves so I hope it doesn't stunt them. I don't know about feminized but it's a good possibility. 2 of these shot out preflowers when they were even 3-4 weeks old and showed female. So I'm eager to see what the rest will be. Any good suggestions on US seed banks? I'm in MI. And I've never really learned how to scrog but it sounds like what I'd want to do from what I've seen

Damn a month? Bring that 400w a little closer. You're too far away I think. I'd go like 16 inches from the tops if your fan can support it. Put ur hand right at the top of the plant you should at least feel some warmth from the light.

Nice ladies codydabo. You should be able to let them run on water for the first few weeks of growth then start applying nutes. I would give them water a few days until they look like they can takes the nutes. Then ease into it... Also keep in mind your pro mix bx is not pro mix hp lol. I'm familiar with hp which is a very light soil that you can or should water twice daily. Never used bx but it's vermiculite heavy which retains water. I can see in your photo there is very little perlite. Keep up the good work. kswisss nice advice

Well I cut down on plants, I'm only going to be growing 4 of them out. I put them 16" from the light and lst'd another one and the other will be lst'd when the lights come on. Thanks for the advice.. I have root organics budha grow. I put 1/4 strength in a gal and fed. They are a month old and don't look like it so I'm trying to give them a boost. I'll post pics soon.
