@GMSgrows, oh my god that is so high! I have never even looked at what dosage they recommend on the bottle. I am using the feeding schedule from Cocoforcannabis.com sans rapidstart and modified to a 6 week flowering period. The EC of the final prepared solution is between 1100-1300 all through flower. If you check week 4 of this diary, there is a pic of the feed schedule.

Looking at your grow I see a little early browning of your pistol. It's not to bad but they really shouldn't start turning untill the 5th 6th week in flower. Their telling you their getting a little to much food. Maybe cut it back 50 to 100 ppm.

@ElectricWizzer,...thnx bro, I'm only here to help. I dont enter any contests and the only reason I came onto this site was to keep track of a new strain I have never grown before. When people dont take my advice they may think this guy thinks he knows it all so they go ahead and feed at the dose it says on the bottle. I wanted to see what the dose of floranova was, so I put 10 teaspoons into 5 gallons of water and the ec 2.4 That's is an awful high ec for veg or flower. Flower is always best to start at 600 or 700 ppm, 1.2 to 1.4ec, then if you see some early yellowing start upping 100 ppm at a time. I would hate to be responsible for someone failure, so I dont comment unless I'm sure of what I say. Cheers my friend

@GMSgrows, I ignored your comment 3 weeks ago and look where we are now haha! They still look pretty good but def getting some crispy leaf tips, etc. I have decided to cut back nutes to 2/3 of what the schedule I am using calls for. Recently realized that the schedule is for photo plants and I prob should have been using half strength the whole grow but didn't see any symptoms until a couple weeks into flower. Thanks for the help.

Things are looking real good my bro. Now that your switching to flower nutes, your girls will want less flower nutes than what you were feeding in veg. I start mine at 600 total ppm 1.2 ec then after two or 3 weeks I'll go up a little. You dont want to over feed at this point. Less is best, give more if needed. Girls tips of leaves will burn easy now. Luck my friend.

Ah their looking great. Looks like your close to going to straight water for a week or 2. Good job on a great grow my friend. Mine are getting close as well. Cheers friend

@ElectricWizzer, Enjoy your fruits of your labour... Cheers

@GMSgrows, Thanks! Started the flushing today on the NCH. I am using florakleen and yucca at a normal feed schedule until the runoff EC is <300 and then I will give it straight water for 24-48 hours. I figure she will prob get the chop in four days or so. Letting the other 2 run about a week longer though.

@Inganjawetrust, Thanks!

Looking good bro. I put down a pond liner from the home depot. It will hold all the runoff with ease. You can get grommets for dwc buckets and put a drain in very easily

@GMSgrows, I'm gonna hard line drainaway drain trays in the tent with pvc and build a wooden platform that my tent will sit on. My reservoir will be under the platform as well as a 2nd tote for runoff. I am also going to punch a hole in the bottom of my tent and put in a grommet, my runoff pvc line will go straight down through the tent bottom and platform and drain into the tote underneath. Each drain tray will have a ball valve so I can monitor runoff EC and also to avoid any weird negative pressure issues if they come up.

Looking good mate, monster autos! Doing some Mephisto genetics too and at a similar stage! Keep it up 👌
