Aight... Since I have AN grow, micro, bloom on hand, I experimented and this is what I took to make a 100ppm mix in 1 gallon of water. Takes about 10-12 drops each, for a gallon of water. PPM will be ~100+ppm. Keep trying... you'll get the hang of it.

Ok, ok... so you're petshop water tested at ~850ppm and is set at pH of 7.0 I'm not confident in the reading of your ppm meter. Please test a bottle of Dasani or any bottled water. You should get a reading around 100ppm (+/- 10 or 20) But bottled water will not read very high and centainly...

Jeff... Classic over-feeding symptoms- fan leaves that twist, droop, curl under or up. And especially yellowing at the leaf tips. Leaves will also feel brittle, dry. But what's worse... incorrect pH causes similar symptoms, and it happens kinda quick, within a few days. I can't...

NO Final Phase! Not IMO. Not unless you're ready to harvest, and don't think you are, right? Just flush with ph balanced plain water. Not sure what you mean by "15 gals is a lot" !?! For flushing... just water as you would if you were feeding, no nutes, and saturate your media well...

Jeff, I agree with Rob... looks like it's over-fed or... your pH could have gone off.

jwb, For the runt.... looks like you didn't add any vermiculite or peat moss. Ya might wanna get some, mix per above and re-pot. I read your tap water was 850ppm. Don't know if thats accurate or not. Try testing some bottled water and see what type of reading you get. ALSO... something...

Get the runt into a solo cup with soil today. Leave the rest until tomorrow. :-)

Kayla.... I pretty much understand exactly how you feel. About the time you think you've figured what you want to do... well then you come across information that clouds your thinking. Damn it's gets confusing. And it's so easy to spend money for things that you're not quite sure how or when...

About that runt... as soon as mix your seedling soil, fill a Dixiecup with soil, thoroughly water it with plain water and pack firmly. Make a small in the soil and plant that runt seed tap root facing down. Cover about 1/8" with soil and dribble some more water over top just to settle the soil...

Make sure you get the Miracle Grow "organic choice" and not "potting soil". I think potting soil will be too strong for the seedlings. For making a 100 ppm solution... The nutrient target we want is 100 ppm. Using your ppm meter, test your water before adding anything. You have to know the...

Won't die... lol, well stated. Some of the squabbling that's gone back-n-forth over nutes is just sad. I hate pissing contests. It took me a while to realize this, but we all can be successful gardeners by using quality nutrients. They're many to choose from. I like AN too, but... I want...

Now... I have a suggestion for seedling soil. You can make your own for now and this is just because you need something right now. The purpose of seedling soil is to drain very well, and be lightly fertilized. Your need vermiculite, peat moss and Miracle Grow Organic Choice. The reason I...

Put your cubes into a 6"container of seedling soil asap. Try 1 dose of the 100ppm solution, and just water at base of the stem... let the water run down into the RW. And observe. After this many days it can't really hurt. The micro nutes may be exactly what these plants need right now...

About containers... I just read a good piece of info today. Start the seedling in a dixiecup... then transplant to 6" pot for couple weeks. Then to a 2 gal pot for the rest of VEG phase, Then transplant last time to a 3gal for flower phase. Seems like a lot of work... but not really. Saves...

I'm quite familiar with the web-based AN nute calculator. Just wasn't for me. Your 6.5pH is good for now. Keep it there. And make sure any solution you make is 6.5pH. And yep... I would make 1 gal of solution for starters. I'm not sure how well versed you are with using your ppm meter...
