It barely has any nutes in ProMix. It’s a good base for making an organic soil grow because you can amend it as hard or as soft as you’d like to go depending on how you want your grow to go.

A few of the ProMix soils have 6 months worth of nutrients in them, so you need to make sure you know what you're getting. The BX and the HP are completely clear of nutes though.

Quick question, I thought I read somewhere it was good practice to mix the nutes with water just before feeding rather than premixing days in advance.

I mixed a gallon last night but only used half, should I dispose of it or it would be fine to use tomorrow?
Thanks!

I keep mine for days mixed up and have no problem with it. I even use the water from my dehumidifier it has 10ppm in it and my plants have been loving it.

Just a Monday grow update. Plants are doing well, 4 are really bushy. id like if they shot up a bit. Noticed a bit of discolouration on a few leaves yesterday, still working on deciphering that.
PhD watering tonight at ~6.3 and TDS all around 500ppm. Gave each 3 litres of water.

Thats what a optic4/6/8 is are LED,S mine 415watt from the wall thats what you want it can say 1000 watt led but only draw 200watts from the wall and thats junk.. itll work for veg but not flowering ... paying for a good light in the beginning is more worth the money then buying a 250$ chinnesse knock off.. plus your buds and trichomes production will triple with uv lighting added to your light
 
Took off some lower fan leaves tonight. Of course my helper was by my side. :)

Your big dog is a big fan of your big fan!
 
Just some pictures for fun..
Any thoughts on the discolouration on the leaves? (I feel it may be calmag deficiency)

Calcium and magnesium deficiencies don't usually appear as yellow or white spots like yours. Also, the edges of the leaves have damage to them which don't show in early stages of cal/mag deficiency. I'm leaning more toward either a pest or something more disease-like. Hard to tell at this early stage. Are they upper or lower leaves? Near the fan?

Searching for clues...

If you have a loupe and a good light, take a look and see what's really happening at the leaf level.
 
Hmm...heater...:hmmmm:
 
Yeah, that damn heater! I need it tho.
Another thing is I think I need to have the exhaust fan on more frequently.
I have the tower fan on constantly and another fan by the tent door (opposite side of tower fan)
The exhaust fan only comes on at 8am/noon/4pm/10pm on high for 15mins. I say I need more air coming in & going out.
 
You deal with the heat issues how best you see fit, but I'd suggest either pointing the heater away from the plants (if you have room to do that without melting the tent!), or getting a small fan to point directly at the front to dissipate the heat more quickly than the manufacturer intended.
 
Absolutely! After the first heater burn got me I turned that bastard away from the plants. It did strike again last week with the tower fan blowing the heat right into some nearby leaves, burned again! Lol not nearly as bad though.
I have it under control now.
So I have continuous air flow inside tent, I think with their growing size I should either have the exhaust fan on low 24/7, or at least on for 15-20 mins every other hour or something.
 
Fresh air is what plants need to thrive, so if you can keep the environment under control and still have air flowing 24/7 I'd say do that. And put a fan on the heater. I'm sure it wasn't designed to sit near plants!
