first indoor hempy grow pics and questions any input greatly appreciated!!!

Hi guys! i finally registerd for this site and just wanted to share my grow and gain more knowledge as far as indoor grows go. any information or comments anyone has please feel free to post and i appreciate any tips anyone has. this is my first indoor grow so bear with any questions that may seem retarted. i have done tons and tons of reading thus far so i do know good deal of stuff but i still feel like a noob when it comes to some stuff so ill just share what i have going on at the moment.

here are 2 pics of my biggest girls: they are green crack bag seeeds and im on day 22 of veg right now. transplanted from quart cups 2 days ago and topped both yesterdsy. these were started in rockwool cubes, then put into quart cup hempys then transplanted to 5gal hempys. i am using a 3/8 hole about 2.5" up and the rez is filled with chunky perlite and the rest is 100% coco. they are under a 600w MH 24/7 at about 24" and temps stay between 65-75 degrees and rh stays between 45-60% in the room. im using flora series 3 part nutes with tap water adding 2.5ml of calimagic per gallon and ph is about 6-6.5. feeding twice a day once with no run off and the second time with about 20% runoff. currently everything seems to be going pretty well. i had a little leaf edge curling up issue early on wich seems to be due to heat stress cuz i had the light too close before i had the fans installed.

some of my main concerns since i have never used coco or hempys before is: does my feeding schedule seem to be ok or am i over feeding? do they seem to be healthy at the moment? im new to the whole checking ppms and all that good stuff so any help on that would be great. thanks in advance for any help!!

Looks Good...! I'd be feeding 1x time per day or twice at 50% less, but your seem to be OK

Thanks dude! Any particular reason I should cut back a little? Right now I'm going through about a gallon a day I was only feeding once a day, but they seemed to get a little droopy when I cut back

Just as a general rule of thumb you feed hempy's when the bucket is light. If they are drinking your gallon a day then by all means stick with it. Also you can cut the calmag down to 1ml a gallon since you are using tap. It's what I do and have no defs in coco at all.

Ok will do, I've also read some thing suggesting cutting my light back to 20/4 to give them a little bit of a break. Since they been on 24/7 their whole life should I continue that or would I benefit by cutting back to 20/4?


So since the roots probably have not reached the bottom of the 5 gal buckets yet, if the Rez is full I probably shouldn't have to feed till the bucket gets light or the Rez is empty?
