Just topped of rezzy last night to around 800 ppm, i know im kinda low for the stage im in i plan on changing the buckets out later on today.

PH 5.6-5.8

Canna aqua flores A+B, rhizotonic, cannazym, boost, pk13/14, organa add, and GH Fruitnfusion.

400 watt MH Blue, 12/12

Here are the pics

i checked ppmtday after i added yeseterday they are all reading around 700... my best pplant has dark brown/reddish speckles all over the top fan leaves.





Leaves are like a camo pattern. I had problems with root rot in the beginning but have kinda got cleared up with vioxy. Please help me, i cant figure this out.

Looks like calMag deficiency... Also water temps may be too high if ur getting root rot.... U can also try adding H202 to the res...

yep looks like Cal/mag. If you use R/O water, it gets filtered out. Like the dude before me wrote you need to keep that reservoir cool 65 - 68 degrees

Water temp is around 68-69 degrees. I use 5ml per gal of Cal/Mag. Last rezzy change I added vioxy 17% h202 and scrubbed roots. They kind of recovered. Gonna try hygrozyme next time

Ya starting ppm is 8, and like i said i add cal/mag before all the other nutes.

Its a hortilux Blue bulb, which actually produces the same #'s if not better than a straight HPS in the red color spectrum. Check them out.

An MH bulb IS the blue light spectrum, but intended primarily for veg,
An HPS's red light spectrum is primarily need for bloom.
When it comes to veg and bloom, the color does make difference although you CAN bloom with an MH.
But it most certainly will not out perform a HPS in bloom.

im using a hortilux blue, which puts off more red than a standard HPS.

I have checked them out, I already knew all the stuff FG printed, that's why I asked. I guess I'm old fashioned, I like magnetic ballasts and dedicated bulbs.
