the difference is the NPK ratios. judging by the high levels of phosphorous and potassium these nutes are geared towards the flowering cycle creating big blooms, also the high number ratio indicates theyre highly concentrated and can easily burn plants

never tried calcium nitrate or epsom salt but i do know MG will burn the crap outta your plants if you go over the recommended dose

well it will take longer than 4 weeks 12/12 thats gauranteed, more like 7-8weeks depending on strain, lighting. as for nutrients, it depends on the soil if its fertilized nutrients aren't necessary w/o fertilized soil nutrients is a must. either way you should use nutrients though it helps...

You wanna wait till they're a little bigger before you top them, because topping during veg. stage of growth impedes vertical growth.

The reason you had less yield is because of the lighting you used, i had the same problem using cfl's. they can be effective during vegetative growth but typically cfl's don't pack enough punch to really flower the plants very well. i reccomend switchinig to a 600w hps and try that see how it...

plants going strong 5' now even after being tied down week3 of flowering showing alot of white pistils.(strain requires an extra week or two of patience) ill post final flowering pics up in a few weeks.(about 3-4 weeks)

the plants look very healthy, alot of times the lower sets of leaves may point down or droop a little as the new chutes form at the top

"In my hydroponics tub, I have no nutrients in it yet. On the instructions that came with my grow unit they said don't put any nutes until the plant is 3-4 inches tall. " that could be your problem right there. you want to get nutes to the roots asap. start out w/ 2-300 ppm nutrients.

when the meter read 7.2 that sounds about right for tap water, another big thing about ph meters is when they malfunction alotta the times it needs new batteries.

*Update -tied down plants directly to clamp with strings supercropped tops to get more even light distribution -attached lamp cord to ceiling w/ staple gun

*Update {day 46} - bent tops of plants away from light w/ fish weights -turned lights back up to 600w Above you see the type of weight i use. -plant were also 'supercropped in the process as you see in pic #3

*Update- since last pics i moved plants further away from the light so thats no longer an issue. Also, dimmed lights down to 75% or 450 watts.

*Update-Day 42 {day 19 of flowering} -plants taking off very quickly gaining 6+ inches in height overnight -avg. 4f-4ft.3in.

I don't know about weed laced w/ coke but i did smoke a dub that was laced waaay back outta a pop can. It could have been the paint on the can but i got a relly bad migraine and nausea and had a disgusting after taste thought i was a gonner.

get the bucket drip system w/5 gallon buckets. its inexpensive, simple to setup , it grows plants larger. Im on day 33 from seed and are over 4 ft

take a magnifying glass and check the trichomes. if 30% of the resin glands are amber/brown then its done.

i know for a fact based on experience floranova bloom/grow works well with fox farms big bloom growbig and tiger bloom. Also, flora nova is a 1-part so you can use that alone or mixed

{38 days from seed}*Update-was growing too close to light so I 'supercropped' the tops @ 4ft. tall -pH 5.7 -ppm 1180

*Update- Added DTW gutter for excess runoffDay 1 flowering {23days frm seed} Closer up: *Update- Day 33 -added 2-3 drip emitters to each plant

*update*Day 17- turned up the ppm to 1200 -keep pH at 5.5 -plants taking off compared to my previous soil grow it's twice as fast -about to switch to flowering @ 20 inches -bush style plant is what i want so Im going to top plants before flowering switched to main reservoir, added 11 gallons...
