Here they are all tied down!

Here is a half update before the next feeding in a day or two. The plants are overall growing super fast. The only issue is some leaf curling on just the top of two of the plants. Since this could be several things, I decided to address as many as possible. The lights were moved up as high as...

Veg 12 1 gal water 1/4 tsp Protekt per gallon 1/2 tsp FP per gallon 250 PPM no tap included 6.0 PH Overall the look really solid overall. However, I feel 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) of FP might be too much for the plants at this stage. You can see slight burn on the new growth. I also believe the medium...

Interesting note on the silica. I use a bit of protekt in veg currently for silica so nice to know I can continue into flower.

Thanks for the feedback. I've tried to slowly simplify over the last couple of years as too many variables added more potential causes of the issues. Starting with no nutrients in the medium itself and feeding each watering are two new steps I'm attempting for the first time. I don't really know...

Hmm so 3.5g or so for veg and maybe up to 7g for flower. I had only capped out at 3.5g for flower last time and it certainly seemed like the could have used more. Only issue I can see is salt or even silica build up from the protekt. I used to feed water feed water and it makes a lot more sense...

Here is an update. The plants are looking much better and are really taking off! I'm a little unsure if the nutrients are a bit too strong as I'm seeing some light tips. I will probably top at the next feeding. I'm also keeping a close eye on the medium porosity as I'm feeding nutrients at every...

Here they are today after having a night to dry out a bit. Note the left and middle are much perkier. The right one is still having a bit of trouble; perhaps I'll rotate them around.

What strength did you use for most of the grow? Obviously those are MUCH larger than mine, but I'm curious what it takes to support plants that size for comparison sake.

I watered them yesterday with 1/2 tsp per gallon of FP. It was 280 PPM at 6 PH. Still having some issues with them being lime green with some color lightening around the leaf rim. Praying leaves on the left one with the center looking very green. The one on the right is still curling a bit. All...

Hello all. What initially started as a question about PHing with pro mix has evolved into a semi grow journal on mixing Promix BX with DG Foliage Pro. I've grown with DG for a year or two, however I usually used Happy Tree frog soil. If you are using DG FP, or you are just curious about a simple...

Time for an update! The plants are finally starting to perk up after the transplant. The one with the curled leaves is the plant that got shock from the root ball crumbling. You can see some interveinal chlorosis. Though the rest of the medium is drying out, the main roots are still a tad moist...

Plants are looking a bit better today after transplant. The plant furthest to the right is still looking a bit rough and is clearly behind on uptaking as the medium is still the wettest of the 3. Left one is looking a bit lime green which will hopefully improve once they've taken up their first...

Time for an update! I tried to last as long as I could before feeding them nutrients to give them time to dry out after the transplant. This will be the second feeding and this time I'm trying half strength from the week 1 feeding chart at 1/2tsp FP per gallon. I gave all 3 plants about 250 PPM...

I think the real question is does PHing to 6 have any disadvantages besides maybe pennies in cost for PH down? I can understand the argument whether it's essential or not, but what harm comes from doing it as an extra precaution? In fact I would think it would provide peace of mind knowing it...

The targets on that feed chart are insane. Even half of that is what I would feed a plant toward the end of veg. I tried 1ml of FP and it sent the PPM to 270 so already a bit hot for them this early. I watered down the solution to 150. I already have 20ml syringes, but I'll order a 10 and 1 as well.

Transplant went well. However, the furthest plant had their root ball crumble (fuck) as I placed it in the hole. Hopefully it recovers okay. I did notice the root were starting up the sides a bit, so transplanting a couple of days earlier would have been best. I'll PH the rest of the feed down...

You're referring to PPM without adding in the tap water, correct? My tap is already 180 this time of of year so I just whipped up my first gallon of foliage pro at 330 PPM at 7.0 PH. I want to try protekt again, but I'm worried about the silica build up and haven't found a good balance for it...

Great insight here as well. I will be using half of the maintenance dose listed here. I may eventually split this off as a grow journal thread to archive the information for future DG users. Ive noticed there aren't a lot of comprehensive DG grows on here that have been done in the last couple...
