Hey guys.. i was wondering... if my plants are still too young to flower? i want to get them as big as possible.. in my 3x3x6.5 grow hut... im using a 600watt HPS..

they are growing at a rate of 1+ inch a day (no joke..)

ph is at 5.2-5.5

Gave it 50 ML of botanicare pure blem 3-1.5-4 Veg formula.. in my 18 galon tank... its at 660PPM using tap water. Tap water PPM was 300... so its like 350 PPM of nutes?

Also What nutes should i start to use when i start to flower?

thanks for the reply caligrown!

What kind of nutes should i get for them? when it comes to hydro.. im completly lost for nutes... alls i got is this veg nute from botanicare Pure Blend PROGROW 3-1.5-4 veg formula..

What nutes should i get for the flowering?

So possibly i could let them grow maybe another foot???!?

Let me know what you think.. my grow space is pretty large.. i would like to utilize it..

Thier growing at a rate of 1+ inch a day...

look for blooming ferts with low nitrogen in them. If u go with an organic feedstuff u should be alright

the flora nova flower (4-8-7) with some dr. hornby's big bud added to the res would work good

blonddie07,yes that sativa plant seems to be burning alittle,you may want to back off on nutes alittle.How many plants in the hut,whats your set-up(space between plants)?Are these all female or do you have to sex?Stay Safe!!

all females... all showing sex cept the smallest one i have in the middle.

my nute load was 1/4 strength... 650PPM on tap water... my tap water was at 300PPM..

Hope this helps in guiding me to the right direction

The plants dont show any burning tips though.. is this signs of nute lockup? or too much nute?

the other plants looks great!

There is about 5 inches of space between each...plant.. should i make a new hydro res?

i raised the light a little bit... Phed the water and it was still 5.3

PPM still reads 650

temp is at 74*F at 40% humidity.. this is the constant temps through out the days.

MAYBE it needs more nutes??? should i add more veg formula? maybe to like 800PPM??
