I initially decided to veg for 6 weeks then switch em, but since i got slimed thats added a lot of time to it. they are a month old now, and are the size of two week old girls, so now they are recovering I figure 3-4 additional weeks before I start cloning and flowerin them.

Ok so here we are 5 days after introducing the EWC tea to my ressys, My ressy temps are ranging between 64f -70f depending on which bucket you check, temp in the tent is 78f today, Ive Ive used the ewc tea twice now as a foliar spray.
One thing is really cool, one of my NYPDS just last night was still remarkably droopy When lights went off I applied the ewc as a foliar, and today a complete turn around.. all of the foliage has come back to life, and the plant in whole seems to be doing a lot better. The root base on the one im going to show you a picture of ( one of the blue cheese) has blown up, all of what you see in the pic has been grown since Sunday, and most of it you cant see because its stil inside the net pot mixed in with the hydroton, It looks to me that the blue cheese have for the most part made a complete recovery, and Im expecting them to really start blowing up with new growth, the three NYPDs and one Blackberry look to be making it, but not completely healed up yet, I think they are only a few days behind the BLue cheese as all of them except the runt does have lots of new root growth, just not as much as the blue cheese.
Anyway, here are the pics, ENJOY!

ok, so Im using R/O water now I read on another thread that one should be using calmag when using R/O water, so my question is which one of these should I use I have General organics calmag, Im guessing that shouldnt be used cause its for organics, I have something called magi-cal that came with a set of nutes I no longer use, and then I have Epson salt, Ive included pics of the magi-cal and the General organics calmag

So Ive completed the ressy changes now, I have got Both my Blue Cheese at 700 PPM give or take 10ppm
my blackberry Ive bumped up to 600 ppm, and the two bigger NYPDS are at 600 ppm as well, and the one thats still seedling size has been backed down to 250ppm
Im using R/O water and still innoculating with benneficial bacteria
To answer the question asked My Ph right now is somewhere around 6.5-6.8 thats because I just did a ressy change and I wont ph anything for 24 hours to give the ph buffers in the nutes enough time to do thier thing, However and I mean this with all respect, I dont understand what that has to do with the question I asked, Being was that Magical I took a pic of the same as calmag. but to better explain why I want to know the answer to that its because In do believe I should be supplementing my R/o water with this,,.. correct me if IM wrong...
Res temps are between 60-68f now, Ive gotten a little better control over them, Lights on temps never exceed 82 with the two HPS cool tubes, but I have them under my 8tube t5 and temps never exceed 74 with it in thier, Relative humidity hovers around 43%
I am still foliar feeding them the seaweed complex nightly as well as using the benneficials as a folair spray nightly as well, in these pics thats why the leaves are droopy, as I had just got finished misting them.
Another question I had, I have some bushmaster I planned to use it during the first two weeks of flower, but not sure how much I should apply, anyone got any ideas ? need someone who has used it before as I heard using it too much will more than likely botch everything up.
Well enjoy the pics.
Happy growing!!!!!!!!!

So I toped both blue cheese and two of the NYPD today, the third NYPD and my one blackberry arent big enough yet, and took the tops as clones, I toped them following the uncle ben procedure to get 4 main colas.
using a rooting hormone dip, with Root 66 from technaflora in the res, no nutes, non phed R/O water with benneficial bacteria added to the res.
my res is a clear plastic tupperware box wrapped in black and white poly to keep light out the res, with 2 4in airstones, to make it a bubble cloner.
ENJOY THE PICS!

Not sure on the superthrive bro or bushmaster.. even though i have looked at that and the purplemax in curiousity as well and then in rotating the bottle i saw the price tag and put it back on the shelf..lol definitely isn't for the budget grower...lol On the cal/mag i know my buddy that uses nothing but r/o water definitely has to use cal/mag... not sure of the ratio though. what nutes are you using? a lot of the time you can call your Nute company direct and all of them should have a basic tech line or technical dept. to answer questions like this..

OK so this is an update and I have a question.
2 days after topping and they have already filled in rather nicely, lower nodes comming up to the top canopy, root mass is impressive, everything is comming along on the blue cheese. The blackberry I have is about three days from topping max.
The blue cheese and the blackberry are about six inches tall and 4-5 weeks into veg, the blue cheese are already showing preflowers.
Could I go ahead and switch em to 12/12?
I know they will stretch, since they are so small I kinda want them to I guess, But Im wondering, If I switch em now at 6 inches tall about how tall do you think they will end up? 1 1/2 ft? and about how much do you suppose one could get off of a plant that size? Im flowering with two 400w hps cool tubes, and have another 175mh to add supp light if need be.
I know this is a noob question, no one can tell you how much you will yeild, I know that ( too many variables)
But Im wondering How much is in the realm of possibility for plants that size.
or better yet, what is a good size to have before switching to 12/12?
also I added the magi-cal from technaflora today i believe its the same as calmag, and I do believe I should be using calmag since IM running with r/o water.
