every grow for me is usually a different strain or multi strains in one grow.
Adding grow to Lucas formula

I’m bad for not researching much further then what I want to hear, only later to find out one feeds light and one feeds heavy. Use to pots so never really pay attention. Now I have 8 plants in one pot so I should prob start looking a bit harder.

Revisiting this because I have my RO water stockpiled and I want to do another drain and fill, question, do you think I should run a full one tsp of each, roughly 300mls by my calculation/water level. Or should I just do the 1/2tsp and full cali, anticipating flowering in 7-10 days. Also this amount is added in weekly? Or just maintain the original ppm and desired water level. I want to run this water for about 20-30 days before I go full flower. Is there anything to maximize the transition in dwc? I haves used all the fancy shit before in dirt, like bud igniter... Running Lucas, I would dose the nutes accoring to how much water i put in. Could be 2 weeks before more nutes.. might also be 2 weeks before i flower, just depends where the training is at, prob can’t hold off much longer then 7-10.

Sounds good man, thank you. I’m going to run the 3rd week for now and go from there. They will be happy with that, will up it to transition from there.

If you're gonna flip in a week, run transition or even early bloom recipe. I tend to always use a bit more CaliMagic throughout bloom.

Ok, well that chart shows trans and bloom basically the same. I’m just doing the 1/2 tsp as we speak, will let that settle and see what the ppm is at in 20-30mins, double up..

Add some fresh RO. 800 is too high. Shoot for half that or at least 600.

Alright, it was the extra calmag and prob a little off on my base number. They should be ok for the night as I’m out of RO for the night. I was running about the same ppm on Lucas, will find out soon enough lol. Will bring it down to 600 in the am. Think a stealth Ro system is next, would make life a lot easier at these time.

You filling up jugs at the store for your RO?

Nah, if you're going to add 20gal to get your system back to full, mix 20gal worth of nutes.

Yes, I usually fill my 4 large jugs and fill my storage tank at home then fill them again at some point and store them, gives me about 55 gallons. I originally went against the Ro system and got a small boy system, it will be the pre filter to the Ro when it happens. Ended up topping off with the small boys and I left a good inch plus to my baskets,
I actually meant 20L so I could add maybe 6 gallons not 20 and hit my baskets. Not sure how much that would drop the ppm, I’m guessing 100ish.

Fuck that man, 55 gallons at 30¢ each is $16. An RO system on Amazon is $75-150. You are paying for an RO system within a few trips. Don't waste another penny on store bought and let's get you sorted.
Buy this and a float valve right into your 55gal container:
Grab this while you're there so your set:

Yeah man, I have a float valve installed, will prob grab the stealth 150 before next time, would of bought it, was ac/monitor/chiller, new ballast first lol. Have some new controllers on the way as well. Water was one thing I could hold off on and still get in the meantime. Now I need to get something to up humidity.

To follow up on this too, what I ended up doing was letting it ride for the 2.5 days to see the response, once they recovered from the new water they showed very little burn. I removed 20 gallons of water and added 20 gallons back with m/g/b and left the calmag out as it had full plus some already. Everything good and I’m still pushing 700 ppm so I’m moving forward, and they are showing good growth so I’m happy. Thanks again for the info.
