I'm getting better but it's slow going. The fatigue is the most bothersome part.
A few more days I should be back to normal.

Late night chickie update.
All is good here. They seem to be digging the nutes.
I'll be turning up the light a touch in the morning or moving them a tad closer.
Hope y'all are well.

VG, are you watering them to run-off already?
FYI, the nutritional breakdown for PB Core A + Core B at recommended dose of 10ml/gal each:
N 158ppm
P 54ppm
K 217ppm
Ca 124ppm
Mg 77ppm
S 96ppm
Fe 3.1ppm
732ppm from active ingredients - TDS will be higher.
Ratios look fine - maybe a bit hot for early veg, but certainly wouldn’t expect any deficiencies from this mix. I would probably add a couple of fertigations at 7.5ml/gal each after week 2.

Do those numbers include the other three bottles or just the A and B?
Just A and B. Is there a need for the others? 
Who knows?

I would think that if you're showing off a sponsor you would be following their feeding chart, no? At least until they recommend something else (or the plants do!).
But what do I know.

Which is exactly what I would expect VG to do. My opinions on fertigating usually only guide my own actions.I would think that if you're showing off a sponsor you would be following their feeding chart, no? At least until they recommend something else (or the plants do!).

Good morning!All's well that sleeps well! Good night.
I fell asleep right after posting.
Feeling a bit better today.
Thanks Stone.Your photography skills
Not bad for a $75 Motorola.
Wish that I could afford a real camera or a better phone.
Gotta do the best I can with what I have for now.
I've been watering fully since sprout.
It's really hard to drown anything in Pro Mix since it holds so much oxygen.

When I do a review I try to stick to the schedule.
Some nutrient lines are left to interpretation (1part nutes) while others have schedules that are meant to be followed pretty closely.
I couldn't call it a review if I didn't use the entire system.

I think it’s terrific that you are trying out one of the sponsors. My “Who knows?” shouldn’t be translated as a challenge - I am as curious as anyone else about this sponsor’s products. It would be great to have another sponsor that I could try and recommend. And I would never presume to persuade you from following the provided schedule. Everything I posted above are only my opinions.
Mebbe @Prescription Blend can share their experience that led them to recommend the same dose of Core A and Core B base nutrients from early veg through flower. And did they ever try anything different?

Problem I have with charts is that they can't possibly know how powerful my lamp is, size of pot I'm using, how often I feed/water, what strain it is etc, so I think they often quote maximums
I start low and only up dosage if she tells me she's hungry for something, but I do keep a pretty close eye on defs

I do realize that the leap from week 2 to week 3 is a big one. I am a bit nervous about it but plan on going forth anyway.I think it’s terrific that you are trying out one of the sponsors.

The reason for my stubbornness is because I'm taking new growers into consideration.
They are provided with a schedule and many probably wouldn't have the questions that we do about it. They would just follow it.
If this burns up my plants, I have more seeds. I can also attempt to save the plants if the damage isn't severe.
All that is lost is time and a small amount of nutes if I have to start over.
The Bubba is supposed to be a heavy feeder and hopefully won't have an issue with the bump up. I saw conflicting info on the Chemdawg though.
Normally, I would use that approach as well.
We all have different equipment, environment and styles of growing and that makes for seemingly endless outcomes.
I don't know about you but I'd like to see what happens when I jump in feet first and trust the system.

Sorry about the slightly blurry pics.
Nerve damage is giving me the shakes this morning.
That's the best I could come up with.
Hopefully I'll be able to grab some better pics soon or have the bf take some.
It may be time to get myself a tripod.
They really are the picture of health!
