@Astarte, honestly its my 1st grow so i dont know what to expect and not sure if its growing fast or actually slow. I actually flipped to flowering yesterday. ill post some photos in a few days to update the growth. Do you think this is good growth , slow or fast? thank u

@Mospeada, Thank you, I appreciate it. Is there any other 2 part or 3 part solution that you would prefer over lucas formula? I have been thinking of swapping to the Athena Blended Grow A & B then using the flower A&B with calmag. My 1 big question would be, your input and anyone else that would like to chime in, is, are my plants growth where it should be given that i started them on the 8th of Jan? Since its my 1st grow i have nothing to compare it too so not sure if they are growing as fast as they should be or maybe they are growing fast lol. any and all comments are welcomed. Gotta learn somehow :)

@Astarte, So it turns out it wasnt the bluelab having an issue or even my plants eating. My water pump was leaking small amounts of electricity into the water and it was causing the bluelabs to go nuts. i have now fixed that and the numbers have stabilized.

@Astarte, Thank you so much for helping me with this, u have no idea how stressed out (ive been lol) i want to push the envelope but at the same time dont want to hurt them. so i lowered the dim down to 30% and im going to buy some co2 to add in there to help them grow. One more interesting this is happening. My ppms are dropping real fast, so either they are eating crazy or my blue lab guardian meter is busted. Yesterday @9:30am Ec 1214 / 850ppm ph 6 Wtemp 75 @9:30am / Today @9:30am Ec 900 / 620ppm ph 5.9 Wtemp 73 @9:30am. My ppm dropped from 850 to 620 , thats over 200 ppm drop in 1 day. i dont know if this is normal or something is wrong lol. i hope its that they are eating crazy because i just bought the blue lab guardian like 4 days ago and calibrated it. ya something was wrong with my bluelab guardian, i shook the probe a little and now its showing 930ppm , this is so freaking weird.

@Astarte, oh sorry forgot to answer your questions, No not using co2 ( was under the impression thats needed during flowering) no coco, its a RDWC system with DI/RO water and clay pebbles. for nutrients im using lucas formula 6ml micro and 12ml bloom also using h2o2 in res to keep the place clean.

@Astarte, 1st off thank u so much for helping me out. this is my 1st grow and i built my own RDWC system. I uploaded a bunch of pics, if you get a chance and take a look at them for me that would be great. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Dmv1p7v1EbjSDntJ6

@darknes01, they say it should be 6 inches off the canopy but since the ppfd is so high you might want to give them a bit more distance until they are a bit bigger as I've read about others light burn. Here is the manufacturer's word on it. https://www.bghydro.com/fluence-spydr-2p-led-grow-light-system.html

@Astarte, oh ya i tried 10" and the leafs curled up and started to burn them right away, now im at 20" @30 dim level and noticing some bleaching on the top leafs, cant figure out if its the lights burning them or they need calmag. thats why i was wondering how far up you put your lights up when they where that small just to get a reference point and if u had the dimmed or not.

@Wicked_Stix, Thank you, my 1st grow so hopefully everything goes good. cheers
