<span class="link_user">@Cloudz2600</span>, good luck to you my friend. After I wrote my comment it hit me that maybe u were in some type of other media besides soil.

<span class="link_user">@Frog_Fisher</span>,Promix is pretty neutral and doesn&#039;t really come with any nutrients in it since it&#039;s a soilless mix. Fox farm is typically pretty &#039;hot&#039;. In regards to PPM my water is around 50ppm so 170 is actually pretty low in my experience and I was using a good bit of Co2 with the greed pad jrs. If you watch his Great Root Race video you&#039;ll see the plants with the green pad actually yellow pretty quickly as they&#039;re absorbing nutrients at a faster rate than the other plants.

<span class="link_user">@bobo420</span>, Updated pics yesterday. Last pic should show set of two true leaves. Even the first few pics do actually. Cotyledons are below that. If you mean :they don&#039;t have 5 leaves&quot; that&#039;s a size thing. Technically there&#039;s no difference between how the leaves function/show symptoms once true leaves start appearing. Only the cotyledons function differently. EDIT: Besides, yellowing is from a lack of nutrients and the plant pulling the nutes from the leaves. It&#039;s entirely possible for any leaf to yellow if the plant doesn&#039;t get what it needs from cotyledons/media. Whether the leaves are &quot;proper&quot; or not doesn&#039;t change how the plant gets nutrients.

<span class="link_user">@bobo420</span>, That&#039;s why I mentioned my not getting yellowing yet. If I was (or had other signs of a deficiency) I&#039;d totally agree that the 270ppm was too low. EDIT: Also Co2 PPM levels with 2-3 green pads should be pretty good. The videos I&#039;ve seen show that in a dome (when not venting obviously) PPM levels are around 600-700 per pad. Obviously that would be nothing if I was venting, but it&#039;s in a closed dome.

<span class="link_user">@bobo420</span>, I&#039;ve learned that less is more when it comes to nutrients. I&#039;m not getting any yellowing which means they aren&#039;t deficient and it&#039;s easier to deal with a deficiency than it is when you over fertilize But between the Superthrive, extra co2 from the green pads and the Clonex I&#039;m getting pretty good root growth. I&#039;ll be kicking it up a bit (+100ppm each week) once I switch to actual nutrients. My tap water is only 30-40 ppm so most of that is nutrients.

<span class="link_user">@bobo420</span>, Yeah I think I&#039;m going to go one more week. I&#039;m having to water every 2 days. I just wanna use all the Green Pad Jrs and since I&#039;m venting they&#039;ll be useless outside of the dome.
