Advise And Constructive criticssm Please !! (PICS)

Cheers Guys and Thanks for tuning in. Im still a lil fresh with growing, but have been expririmenting within the last couple of months. I havent succeeded as of yet, so I am hoping that with the help of you guys, and the advise i can get, will be more than appreciated, I can achieve and complete my analysis on these wonderful God's plant, that we all love dearly.

I will be very short with the veg part, because I feel I have that under control and tuned in.

Here we go guys :

Strain : 3 Purple Indicas
Are 40 days old, from seeds.
Vegg Nutes : GH FLora 3 Part series
First 2 weeks of feefd : 440 PPM
Full strength : 1,400 PPM after that.
Ebb & Flow System : 15 gallon res
Medium, Hydroton, Rockwool, 3 gallon pots.

Now, all three are now in flowering, Under DWC 5 Gallon Bucket system.
Buckets Number 1 and 2 are in there first day of flowering
Bucket Number 3 is on its 15th day of Flowering, ( I will Explain Reason to this)
SunHut: 5x5x8
Lights : 600 wtt HPS Cool reflector attached to carbon filter
Fan : 245 CFM Fantech inline exhaust
Constant Temp 75-79 Degrees F
Constant DWC Res Temp: 70 Degrees F
Constant Humidity : 35-40%

3 Five gallon DWC, 2 Airstones in Each Bucket
Bucket #1
PPM:1,450 PH 6.0
Nutes :
45ml Flora Grow, 30 ML of Micro, 15 ML of Bloom
1 Tsp Cal-Mag
1 tsp Bio Nova Super Bloom 0-14-13
3 Tsp HydroGuard

Bucket # 2 ( Same as Number 1)

Bucket # 3
I flowerd #3 earlier than the other 2 for reasons being, out of the 3, she was the sickly, wilty, runt. I did not want to put it to rest, so I decided to do my nutes analysis with her, sice I burnt previous unsucsessful runs, also because i was not using the correct balance of nute.
My previous plants, I had to cut them down at 4 weeks into flowering because they virtually had no fan leaves, all burnt out because of deff. I used flowering nutes during the first week of flowering, which means no nitrogen, and mag...so deff was all over the place.

Now with my new blend of mix and analysis, I was able to correct my issue.
With bucket Number 3, I started her with the same blend of nutes and bucket 1 and 2. for week one.
week 1 : 45ml grow 30ml micro 15ml bloom. 1tsp cal mag, 1tsp bio nova, 3 tsp hydroguard
week 2 , I upped my bloom to 15ml and lowered my flora -15ml
week 3 (today, I changed nutes again) I upped my Bloom 15ml for a total of 45ml bloom. I lowered my grow -15 ml for a total of 15ml flora grow
and flora micro, has always been 30 ml
I also upped my cal-mag from 1 tsp to 1 1/2 tsp
so now total ppm is 1,190, (which is lower than last week 1,330PPm) because i reduced my flora grow, which raises ur ppm.
I will add and extra tsp of Bio Nova 0-14-13, during the middle of the week when I top off.

I am very welcome to advises and constructive criticsm

As you can see the discoloration in plant or bucket # 3, she has always been that way, since a seedling. but overall she has been doing ok... what do you guys think of the girls??

here are more pics of my previous unsucsesful runs...

Any thoughts on these,?? i'd like to discuss the thesis and analysis on the nutes i used and method for these old ones as well...

as you can see in the next pics as well, bucket # 3 has been there... I cut down those plants you see there, I just couldnt see em that way. they were at 30 days into flowering, and look how small and bad they looked.

the collie in the lil bucket looks irie the other one inna square bucket looks like u put a fire to it...lol....but yes trail in error is best what light are u usin?

but that tall plant u chucked it looked like a astiva those take alot longer to ripen so next time dont chuck it be patient...keep it upnup

Pics of my 3 babies today :::

yeah, I know, I was using full strength flora nova bloom nutes for those old ones ..lol it had me doing sleepless nights lol

Im using A 600 watter

You don't need the Cal-Mag, Bio Nova, or Hydroguard. Just use the GH Flora series with nothing else. A lot of people have great success with the Lucas Formula:

GH Flora series (ml/gallon RO)
0 - grow
8 - micro
16 - bloom

....or 8 ml Flora Nova bloom per gallon.

Looks like you got it going on this one. Just keep doing what you are doing and everything will be just fine.

Well, I guess since I am using Filtered, Ro water with 40 as ppm , I think I remembered reading to add cal mag to filtered water always, I dunno, but i decided to give it a try with my expiriment, Guess the girls are ok with them so far.

Thanks Greenhog, this is my 3rd attempt at flowering. I got the vegg part tuned in perfectly.

I'll keep posting new pics everyday.

Thanks user friendly, I read the lucas formula before. But, I like a lil more nitrogen on my plants , therefore i add the flora grow into my flowering program.

I know u stated that i dont need the cal mag, bio nova, hydroguard etc... but overall, what do you think about the blend? so far plant numer 3, the sickly one, seems to be doing just fine. she is today 15 days into flowering, and is nice and green, a bit wilty, But then again, she always been this way.
she began budding...

Hi, I'm very impressed you've come a long way in the last couple weeks. I was also able to clear up my mag def. plants are huge and in a week will take them into flower. One thing I might endorse for GH. This is the first grow I have tried Florilicous plus. OMG I can't believe how much they love this stuff. There is no need for cropping I have new branches starting everywhere they possible can. F-ing fantastic stuff. Iam also going to try in flower the LiquidBloom and hope for the same results. I have 7 white widow in my res. I have just a drip system under 400w. Now trying to control the smell. Is that a srubber you have on the side of your light. What kind is it? Well keep up the great work!! Glad I was a little help to you. Later!

Let me just point out first and foremost : WWgrower, you have alot to do with my improvements, from our brief conversation in the past, I took your advise, and tweeked it a lil more ala merciless, and let me tip my hat to you sir. Millions of thanks.

now, how is the floralicious?? is it a bloom part for added flavor? to be honest, at this time, i really dont wanna add any more stuff, until i complete the thesis on my blend, but let me know if its for flowering and if there is any benefits as for smell, i dunno if its for yield?potash maybe?

the srubber Activated carbon filter thats in the back of the light , its like a mini huge (30lbs) filter, its great, i dont smell nothing outside the vent or room..

I'm thinking on going to drip system for my mothers, clones seedslings... hhow is it?
I have an ebb and flow system so far, and its cool, but i have to clean the tray weekly, because algae grows fast, i hate that crap... i was thinking maybe going aero for vegg, but i gotta start expirimenting, its just that time is a killer, especially for the well being of the girls.

what do you do have to control the smell?

The plants look good so the blend is fine by me. The main thing I pulled from the Lucas thread is do more with less. I would think one could just mix a little heavier on the GH bloom instead of adding Bio Nova. I personally use PBP and Cal-Mag with RO water. I've had great results with Tri-flex too. Botanicare has been nothing but good to me.

What is tri flex? is it for blooming?

and Pbp?

I was looking into botnicare for my next grow and advanced hydroponics, but bonanicare seems easier

PBP = Pure Blend Pro Botanicare : Product Overview : Nutrients

Triflex = Botanicare 3-part formula. Botanicare : Product Overview : Nutrients

Thanks for the kuddo's, I appreciate it! First off florilicous plus (make sure you get the plus) is for the whole grow Veg and Flower. I was doing great with my grow and went to the hydro shop a month back and talked to the owner about the fl. plus. I went on E-bay got it way cheaper. After I added it to the plants, they really got crazy growing like mad. I've done this for a while and have not seen growth like this. But it is for the entire growth. I am currently going to buy the Koolbloom which is for flower. I decided last night to put mine into flower. Last 2 days they have grown 4 to 5 inches and there crowding each other out. One last thing, back to your scrubber. 30lbs sounds huge what size fan are you pulling with? How much was it and where did you find it. I have been searching for something to deal with smell. I have a fan powered scrubber (all n one) it just isn't getting it done at all! I tried Panhead's 3 dollar carbon filter but never got it right. So I have been on E-bay to see what kind of deal I can get. Anyway keep up the good work and look forward to hearing from you again!

Sweet, Im going to try the floralicious plus for vegg then. I have new seeds im getting ready to germ, so ya, i will start using it, I'll keep u posted on that. As for the Charcoal carbon filter, I think its actually more than 30 lbs, more like 50lbs, I dunno what was i thinking when I typed 30, But mad, its awsome. I cant smell a thing, I literally have to put my nose on the bud in orfer to smell it. Its called goblin (the filter) i saw a few of em on ebay. I have a powerful 245 cfm fantech inline that sucks all that hot air and odor. I wouldnt trust those fan scrubbers, are they the ones that look blue? i seen a few of those on ebay, like for 50 bucks. I spent 100 on mine at a local hydroshop. if there is one thing you dont want to go cheap on is a filter. the goblin is great, you can get a 10lbs one that measures like 12 inches tall and 12 wide. they are great for 200 cfm fans and up.
Mine specifically can hold up to 450 or 500 cfm. anyway, it works like a charm.

I saw that u typed u have 7 ww in a res... are you DWC??
I love white widow. But i think my next order of seeds will be black domina , indica auroa, blue moonshine and Black queen.. lol as you can see, Im a Indica lover..lol i like to be hauled in a wheelchair when I blaze...lol

Here are new pics from today.

Question, is there a reason why m lower fan leaves wilt a bit??
