My NS2 clone is in rough shape, but it might be ok. I hope so cuz I'm happy with the one in Bloom(NS2 Plant). I learned my lesson. I took the clone a little lower on the plant and the stem was a little smaller. That SB3 clone had a fat stem and shot roots waaay better. Fat Stems = Nice Roots My reasoning was that I was putting her in Bloom and didn't want to steal one of her prescious dominant tops. Won't matter once I have a mom. If it doesn't pan out, I'll use one of my two NS I have in veg to get a fat stem clone to make a mom. If they all take, they can battle to be the best. I need a bigger Veg Box!

One comment on the LED vs HPS, the soil dries much slower without the heat. Growth is still good, but slowed a bit I think. Then again...half the wattage.

Looking good!!! How strong a dose of bloom nutes are you feeding them currently?
950-1000 ppm. Today was:
4 ml Botanicare Calmag Plus
4 ml Gen Hydro Micro
4 ml Gen Hydro Grow
6 ml Gen Hydro Bloom
4 ml Advanced Nutrients Bud Ignitor
5 ml Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy
Mixed with 8ppm RO water, PH 6.0-6.2

Running 750w HPS, 204w LED, 954w Total

I also fed my Veg plants today:
4 ml Botanicare Calmag Plus
4 ml Advanced Nutrients B-52
2 ml General Hydro Micro
2 ml General Hydro Grow
2 ml General Hydro Bloom
4 ml Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy
600 PPM

I backed it down some now that I switched from 400w MH to 200w LED

Right when I transition, I'm running about 800-900 ppm. I'll ramp up to 1200 - 1500 week 4-6, then start walking it back down. I switch the Botanicare Calmag Plus to the same ppm of Epsom Salt around week 5-6. I've been moving to AN's additives instead of Kool Bloom.

BTW, basically using a nutrient-less medium. Did throw a small amount of Ancient Forest, Azomite, and Mykos this time though.
Nice thanks for the info!!! I started them in 5gal pots with ffof/vermiblend/growstone/vermiculite/roots organic soulless a week or so two before flower. Pretty heavy on the vermiblend too. I feel as though that has been depleated by now (day 16 flower). I just gave my last dose of added nitrogen so I was curious how hard to hit them with bloom nutes (they have only been receiving 2ml floranova bloom 2ml potash plus) also calmag, blackstrap molasses at watering, and Seaweed/fish.
Was going to go
5ml flora bloom
3ml potash plus
5ml calmag
I'll be dusting bennificial bacteria on the soil again as well before the feeding.
I was looking into bud factor x or bud candy but my hydro store dudes said just stick with the pk booster I have and see what happens. I was also looking into amino acids to add

Do you know what bud factor x is? It simulates an insect attack to increase resin production. That sketches me out a bit...I'd rather experiment with UV light for that. If you're using molasses, you don't need Bud Candy. Bud Candy is like a refined molasses with added Magnesium.

I'd be careful how much Ocean Forest in the blend if you Transplant during flower. You want to limit Nitrogen sources.

I checked my notes ha. I transplanted on April 27th so they've been in that soil for a month now (the roots are sticking out of all 20 holes in the bottom ha). I didn't feed them the first three waterings (only calmag and molasses). Started feeding Veg nutes then 50/50 Veg/bloom. They just had a gallon of water each (nice ass runoff, and another 50/50 nute mix, then a small watering). I was going to go full bloom. It's now. They look, healthy!
I'm a super noob but I've done a lot of reasearch and I like getting a people's real life opinions to go with the "internets" opinion haha. Any help is much appreciated

I've heard of it, but remind me what vermiblend is
