Thanks again IrieRoots, I will look into the things you listed. I am a little busy the next few days but am planning on hitting the grow shop on Friday. My first grow with the autos was an experiment to find flaws in the system I put together, and man did I find some, I didn't start this grow until I corrected them. Here is the journal I started a few days ago.

Yes I do have the sample kit nothing more.
Nice setup, I love my Timber light.....you got a monster, that thing is gonna crush in the 5x5. Are your seed packs all feminized?

I forgot to slurry. It was on my list this morning after work. I promise to do it in the morning when I get home. Yes all seeds are fems. Timbers are nice, which do you have?

I built a 3500K 4 cob cree 200W from one of the Timber kits and I hang a 315W cmh in the middle or a 100W 3000K Hlg QB, depending on season and temps. Slurries are the best habit to get into when running nectar and when running multiple strains and phenos......they become cheat sheets for feeding.....keeping that journal will help you stay on note taking.

It’s low on ppm and high on ph for veg. I would think your good to go with 1/2 strength ph’d to 6.1-6.2 and you will start to see those numbers balance out. I am new to the line to, so I would see what Irie says as well.

Thats a good recommendation Focal, 1/2 strength should be a safe start.....5 ml each of Medusa Gaia Zues and ph to 6.1/6.2 for a couple waterings....solo cups don't need much water so try to feed around the edge and get the roots searching.....1/2 a Cup maybe......., then start sliding feeds up to 6.3/6.4. How many nodes are on the seedlings? Curious to know if the canopy is bigger than the solo cup and if the cotyledon leaves are still green?

6.8 ph is not an alarming thing , in veg , feed at 6.3-6.4 ... I wouldn't feed at 6.1 or 6.2 ... so you got a low ppm and high ph , couple feedings with higher ppm feeding will bring that ph down and ppm up ... there hungry ...

I am just finishing up mid flower going into late flower .. it shows 2 weeks for a ripening flush ... is this just demeters/herc/aphrodite and thats it for the last 2 weeks ?
no demeters !!! if you got tritans add that too .. and the 2 weeks is just a guide line , can go 3 weeks to a month , depends on trich and where you need to be at finish ... there a few other things you can add to get the oil profile or get the bag appeal ...

8 Ball Kush. They are about a week behind the above. I know they need to develop a little more.

I'll hit them in the morning then off to the grow shop in search of the things Irie listed, as a back up I see the stuff is available at https://oregonsconstantgardener.com/. Honestly as I think about it I should just place an order with them. That way I know I can get everything I need plus those extra gallons of NFTG Irie listed. I can't get NFTG locally closest I've found is 120 miles round trip, thats where I go for the #4

Thanks again.

Ocg is really good free shipping and 20% off your order with the discount code!! #4 is worth the travel once you have it you can recycle it. It gets better each time you use it because it takes time for the bone meal to break down.... er so im told.:D

New ocg episode is awesome. People complain about prices and how many nutes you use but the quality and yield is unreal!! Im on day 32 and my nugs are just solid little candy rocks... i used 1.5 cups of herc in one feed today and its worth every penny to me. I grew with advanced nutrients before and it was no where near as nice as the stuff i have right now.

I am hip to the coupon code, I saw the OCG video and signed up for the newsletter. Worked out to be a pretty good deal, from now on I think I will just order direct from them. They have exactly what you need, and just stock up so the shipping is free.

I mixed up a micro batch the final numbers were PH 6.32 and PPM 152, sound good? Man that Zeus was hard to see in the syringe, and Olympus works like a champ. The few times I had to use GH Up to raise ph seemed like I had to use a decent amount to get it to move.

Yep gh is no good plus you NEED oly up its a necessary nutrient as much as a ph tool. What scale is your ppm meter 152 seems kind of low my half strength feeds were 4-500ppm. Are you using ro water?

I am using distilled right now, as they get bigger will be using tap. I am going to sound like idiot, when you asked "What scale is your ppm meter". What is this scale you speak of, ya lost me. lol

Deff not a idiot i asked the same thing 3 months ago lol. Ppm meters have 2 diff scales they use. One is 500 the other is 700. Nectarfam use the 700 scale. If you get a blue labs meter it has both options. Blue labs is what we all use.

Thanks Loop, yea I don't have Blue Labs. My meter doesn't have the ability to switch. I just looked in the booklet that came with them and it said it was 500. I eventually wanted to get Blue Labs, and should have by now so I guess today is the day.
