I understand your question now… I’m sure your going to get different answers from different people but from my personal experience I would use KoolBloom and not use Carboload…

I am a big fan of Advanced Nutrients products but I found mixing bands doesn’t seem to workout the best together… It can take your ratio’s off balance fast…

Since your using GH as your base nutes I would just stay with there products… GH is a good product lineup no worries there I have had many great grows with them… KoolBloom is like Advanced Nut Big Bud…

Based in starting water 0 PPM

10 Gallons of water…

FloraSeries Recirculating (I would cut rate in half)

But your feed program if using simply should like something like this

Hey thanks man! Not sure why I just noticed post now and didn’t get a notification but this helps! I ended up before hand buying a gallon of b-52 and Carboload. Should I not use those then? That would stink but if that’s what’s causing issues then I won’t. Your chart is good and I will go by that! I’ve read before about how Floralicious is Awesome and only gets good reviews! Ok cool man once again thanks and I’ll send some pics soon.

By the way why do you cut the rate in half on recirculating?

Choice is your if you want to use them… They are good products I’m just suggesting you stay with one brand to make things easier for you… (keeps your NKP balanced)

All these company’s that make nutes want to sell more product so they push them to the max… When you push to the max there is risk of burning the plant… For that reason less is More… At the end of the day you can increase your EC higher if you think your plants can handle it…

Hey just wanted to show a few pics of the girls! They are growing well and all is working good with new system. Been chasing a Ph that keeps diving on me. I have it set at 5.8 and come morning it will be 5.5? It seems like it has been diving more frequently as well. The good thing is I have a reservoir that I can monitor and adjust now! But I checked my ec and it’s around 1200ppm now and probably have put in about 10 gallons extra water so far. I have had the same solution in for 3 weeks come Friday. So not quite sure why it’s diving but I’lm guessing I’ll switch to flower in a week or so? So I’ll change out water then! Hopefully that fixes the Ph issue if not, I’ll be back!

How’s your grow going? Last I saw you just trimmed them and I’m curious on how them girls are stacking up?

Thanks
Steve

Oh by the way I used SLF 100 to clear up issues, should I continue to use it or no? I just don’t want that issue to come back! Maybe that’s what’s throwing Ph off?

Plants are looking nice!! Good Job…

I believe your getting Ph swing because your nutes are becoming unstable. 3 weeks is a long time. I would try replacing your nute water weekly or 10 days max. I think that would help alot… Also all the PH down your adding will increase your PPM

It just depends on how big you want your plants. But forsure I would give them a big haircut before you switch to flower

Here was the finally harvest on them… I’m dreaming up ideas and rebuilding my tent right now… Hoping to sow some seeds in a couple weeks or sooner

I haven’t been able to buy SLF-100 at a fair price in Canada so I haven’t used the product before. If the manufacturer says its safe to use in recirculating it should be fine then

Cool thanks for the help! I was wondering if that was a long time for chemicals to be in system? But for sure I’ll give her a good haircut before and then lollipop the plant around 2-3 weeks in. By the way nice plants!

Today is transition! Ph is right on and things are looking good! Going to give her a trim underneath a little and do the lollipop thing in about two weeks!

This is my schedule now!
(Your advice!)

Cool, thanks.

Did some trimming here Here are a few more pics. Oh btw, I haven’t had an issue yet but being in Mi and temps in the cold stupid range, my basement and temp in tent are maintaining around 65 degree temps. My water in reservoir is at 60. I’m sure the reservoir temp will change as it sits in warm tent but the temp of air at 65. You don’t think that will be an issue do you? Thanks!!!
Day 21, I’ll do that!

65 isn’t going to kill your plants just it isn’t ideal day time (with lights on). You will find your plants will grow slower and fatter… You may also see some purple come out… Getting your temp up to the mid 70’s at min would help… Water temp coldest I would like to see is 60 so you on the fence there…

All those bottom leaves should be removed to get airflow plus it’s a waste of energy (it will be all popcorn buds under there…

Oh I will definitely remove everything under the canopy! I don’t want any popcorn bud for sure! But I should do that when I lollipop plant though, right? I just don’t want to stunt growth now so she can stretch some to cover rest of canopy. That was my train of thought. I just don’t want to be under plants for hours, that would kill my back! That’s why I didn’t take to crazy amount off.

If it was my plant in a perfect world I would have cleaned up the bottom today left them recovered for a couple days then make the switch to 12/12. Then day 21 do a big haircut

I’ll clean up more underneath tomorrow some then. Do you think that will prevent plant from stretching though?

No not at all they will stretch as long as you on 12/12.

I’m more concerned about the stress on the plants because you pulled leaves today and maybe more tomorrow. Plus switching to flower. I wouldn’t be scared to do it if my plants were strong. (From what I see your plants look strong) I also don’t go by the 20% rule for removing leaves. I pull as many as I feel the plant can handle and get that light on the buds.

Things to remember

After day 21 of flower your plant will not make new fan leafs. What is there will get bigger but nothing new. That’s why it’s a good clean day

Also running temps in the 65 to 70 will slow down your Stretch (and growth) like I said before it will not hurt your plant just you will lose mostly on yield

Pulling leaves will stop your plants growth for about two days. They don’t really even drink much water the next day after you pull leaves
