Yeah, the recommended mix assumed RO.
Are you saying that you are using Botanicare CalMag Plus?

I’ve started prepping the water. Ro takes a while. I’m going to go with your numbers to the T and see what it does. Those numbers are a little different than what’s on the bottle but given that you took it down to the actual ppms of specific nutrients I’m pretty sure you know quite a bit more than what is needed and a rather large amount more than I do.
As for the cal mag 9 ml total is good (3 gal water)or do I need to increase it due to the fact I have ro water and specifically on led as well, contributing to the requirements @FelipeBlu

Yup right you are, below 40% RH is getting low. How high was it with the humidifier switched on? Could it be set to hold around 50% RH? I've got a good reference somewhere. Will try to find it.
The latest pics all look nice. Glad to hear that the bad leaves are isolated to that single area.
My bad, I forgot to look at your opening page for this grow. That's a pretty sweet LED lamp. It is however, more powerful than the ones in the article I mentioned. Those were all in the 200-300 watt range. Part of what I've read about excess light intensity says it causes a state of 'relative nutrient deficiency'. Meaning that the leaves will work harder due to the higher light levels, but at a point the roots cannot keep up.

The humidifier was set at like 50-60 but one time I didn’t set it eight and it flooded the tent while spewing a bit of vapor as well. It was a day. Yeah I’ll shoot for 50% and keep it on low. It’s 37% without right now. Yeah the p2000 does pack a punch when it’s turned up, that thing is bright. Like you could see it from space if it were outside pointing up at night bright.
We’re all in this soup together.Firing the spreadsheet back up for the change from CaliMagic to Botanicare CalMag +
Will get back to you shortly.
Since Bot CM+ is only 3.2% Ca compared to 5% for GH, it requires more:
9ml/gal Botanicare CalMag +
2ml Micro
12ml Grow
5ml Bloom
Provides:
137 ppm N
42 ppm P
206 ppm K
102 ppm Ca
64 ppm Mg
Pretty good actually

So shooting for about 500-600 ppm? I’ll have the first batch whipped up in an hour and see what it clocks. Thanks for the heads up and spreadsheet help!Since Bot CM+ is only 3.2% Ca compared to 5% for GH, it requires more:

Your TDS might read higher. The Guaranteed Analysis is a minimum and there’s really no telling what effect other non-nutritive fillers may have.

Dos. Res change pending. She got the brunt of the first humidifier fiasco early on and had been stunted. I didn’t get a chance to change her res last night but first thing this afternoon.
Better step back as they take off!

Thanks a bunch for getting me back on track @FelipeBlu! That is my next thought: what to do to manage some of this about to monstrosity. I don’t plan to scrog as I like to take them completely out to clean buckets weekly. I suppose that leaves training, with anchors being on the bucket lid net pots.
Looking awesome Venturisix, expect an upwards explosion of growth to start any day now. Especially with FelipeBlu guiding you!!

Pic update! There’s been some movement for sure. 2 got a little tip burn I believe though it could have been from a past humi incident.
It would be a lot easier to keep track if the pics I uploaded came out in the same order that I picked them. For this upload I clicked 1 2 3… how it came out 2, 1,3 I don’t know

3 started to spread out today! They sure are drinking some water. I had to add a liter or 2. How should I go about pumping the nute levels back up you think @FelipeBlu ? Just try to stick to the same ratio? I ended up just dropping in 2ml of grow considering that was the highest req
