You shouldn't have to worry about N burn and I have found that it is pretty hard to OD your plants on P or K. Apparently the roots won't take up more P or K than they need, unlike nitrogen where whatever you put in is absorbed. I peak at 2000 ppm in flower. 1190 sounds super low. Maybe the cause for your yellowing? What's the N-P-K of what you are feeding right now?

Sup Mared? Couple of things:

1. My meter is calibrated at .5 when most of the ppl on this site sue the .7 measurement so my 1190PPM would read closer to 1500 on your meter. The other day when I was up around 1400 on my meter would have been close to 2000.

2. The statement that the plants won't take up more P or K than it needs is key. Because the plant only takes what it wants, if you push it you wind up with excess P and K in the solution. This would be bad for me as I do not flush or change my res for the whole cycle.

FNG is 4-8-7

Just curious because I bought some Advanced Nutes 3-part +BigBud powder. They are expensive so I was hoping to get like maybe two grows with it. Would it be better to feed as heavy as I can once or to feed lighter, twice???

Thanks so much. And sorry if I am thread jacking. Everyone in this thread really seems to be on tp of it.

Stick to the plan for now. Get your feed going with the bloom and micro. You can add bigbud at wk 3 if you want. See my comments above about pushing the PPM>

Ah hah. Yes, that does change things. No flushes? You've got balls of steel, doog!! JK, I've quit the periodic flushing I used to do and now just flush if there's a problem which hasn't been for quite some time now, knock on wood. But I would have been a nervous wreck on my first grow without the option to flush.

Day 26

6.0PH
1230PPM
Watered moms

My PH is still in range but it came up pretty quick. I will keep an eye on it. Will prolly correct one more time if I have to. More than that and I will be forced to dump my res.

no overwatering i kept them moist only...with a heat pad underneath..the humudity was like 99 percent but i read that was good and the ones that were in there rooted well and now are not under the humidone.....they yellowed some too i just dont understand why...i believe its cause they took so long to root that they really needed nitrogen and they started to die...and its too early to nute

doogleef · #**559** 02-23-2009, 04:16 AM

99% humidity is way overkill. Root temp and the amount of moisture in the medium are far more important. I got %100, no yellowing, with an ambient RH of about 30. You can give weak nutes (100-200ppm use bloom nutes, low in N) after about 5 days.
