i give nutrients every time i water unless i am flushing. try to balance what the plant currently needs and what you are adding to the nutrient mixture.

Well for the hydro im keeping a constant nutrient level until 2 weeks before harvest, I use more nutrients as the plant progresses. As for soil. I head you dont want nutrient salts to build up, so water water feed is what i heard you should do for soil. But ima give your idea a shot on one of my plants. Anybody else have an idea?

Gave all but "Random" and hydro new water. For the ones i did water, Ph-6.5-7 PPM per gallon- 300-400
As for the blackjack and El aquamista, I tested their runoff and they both came up around 5.5-6
Watered all the ones in the small tent with the same nutrient solution and ph solution as above.
Hopefully things grow better in the next few weeks if I keep this up, and learn to adjust the nutrient amounts as needed for the plants. If not, Ill transplant into a bigger bucket, with a more stable ph level and some fresh nutrients.
Im still worried about nutrient salt build up, so my feeding scheduled is guna be feed feed water.
Also does anyone think i should up the ph to 7 in my water till the run off hits 6.5 then move to 6.5 ph in my water to keep the run off at 6.5?

BTW "Random" is 14"in tall. Pretty cool, he's tall and skinny which worries me a little, because i heard males grow tall and skinny, but not all the time. Guess ill just have to wait and hope
Pics of em all tomorrow!

i would still recommend you water with pH 6.5 water until your runoff is pH 6.5 coming out. to get a better idea of what is in the soil measure the runoff's ppm as well.

Alrighty. Ill be sure to do get my ppm runoff as well next watering.
I got some pics for ya tonight also. Im in the market for a more accurate ph reader. I dont really enjoy the color diffrinciation one. I would rather have a more detailed and accurate reader. Any suggestions?

I picked up a nice ph reader and some ph 7 and 4 solution to calibrate the reader.
Watered BlackJack today and changed hydros (devil fruit) water. Soil water-6.5 no nutrients Hydro Water- 5.8 400ppm
BlackJacks run of ph and ppm were - 6.2 and 700
The girls are looking fine. Still some yellow and brown on them, but they are mostly green. Hopefully things keep improving. They are getting taller. I left my phone at my buddies house, so i haven't been able to upload any pictures recently. But hopefully ill be getting it back tommarrow

Been fighting a major ph battle. But things are finally starting to look better now. I also transplanted "Random", "Blackjack", and"El Aquamista" into bigger pots and they are growing BIG. "Random" is 18" tall and "El Aquamista" is 15" tall and "BlackJack" is 10 or 12" tall. I also moved 4 new plants in the big room today. My second hydro - Devil fruit. About a week or 2 since being placed in hydro. 2 Devil Fruits in the black pots. 1 Double Berry in a black pot.
I also have 4 new pots in the small tent. Green Poison, 2 Grand Daddy Purp m/f, LA Chocolate
I have algae growing in my first hydro system. Should i be concerned?

Everything is going good, except for the new hydro (darkstar). He hasnt really kicked off yet. Probably in the next few days it will be growing.

Twas heat stress. Sucker was about to touch the cool tube. I raised all the lights a few days ago. Forgot to mention it
Hello ottotheif! Im really grateful that I even made it this far! I gave growing a shot when I was younger and it never really took off, but now! Now its something else. Seeing them grow is just beautiful. Cant wait to flower!

I plan on slowly letting the lights go on 12-12. The way I plan to do so is, I switch the lights timer to 18-6 then 16-8 then 14-10 then 12-12 over a 2 or 3 weeks. I heard that doing this could increase yield. Also, dont plants stretch when its dark? Will these cause my guys to stretch?

Transplanted both small devil fruit plants and double berry plant into their pots that they will flower in. Here's some pictures. Will be flowering when darkstar hydro has hit 8" or more!
your plants are looking good.

Decided I could't wait for the darkstar to kick up to flower. I moved the darkstar into the small tent to veg longer with my other babies. In the big tent, I have everything I had before, except that I changed the MH bulbs for HPS. Big tent lights are also going on 12/12 (1am on/1pm off)
Could really use some help on nutrients for flowering for hydro and soil. Im using the foxfarm nutrient trio. I have been giving around 600-800 ppm for my hydro devil fruit. Should I keep increasing this as the plant grows and add tiger bloom?
Ex. Week 1 flower- 600ppm(growbig)/ 6 TS of tiger bloom
Week 2- 700ppm/7TS
Week 3- 800ppm/8TS
....
2 weeks before harvest - flush
I dont really have any idea what my nutrient levels should be in my hydro for flowering.
Also, I have not given any of my soil nutrients from watering. I use Fox Farm Ocean Floor and I was told that I could go the whole grow without adding nutrients to my soil mix.
Really in need of some help D:
As for that here are some pics
