Thanks for the input I'm using triple filtered purified water it goes through reverse osmosis, charcoal, and micron filters and UV light. Ph is about 6.5. Only $1.75 for 5 gallons. I'm considering botanicare grow 3-1-2 for veg. I'll give them another week or so before adding nutes again I'm anxious to get them into the final containers so I can top them and start LST.Soil type and brand? Are you running a mix soil? The nutes are definitely a problem and I would run just clear ph'd water and wait.
As for nutes... Google is your friend...
VEG
High N
Medium P
Low K
SECOND WEEK OF FLOWER
Low N
Medium-High P
Medium-Low K
Now this is where experience and knowledge comes into play. Some say more K for dense buds others say staying high with P will produce larger buds.
Don't forget Micro Nutes like calcium, magnesium, sulphate, etc.
Water is also important and can hinder good nutrient uptake. Are you using tap water? There's a good amount of variables in play but off to a good start.
Love to see how the leds perform, i am Super Cheap. I am currently running a micro CFL grow running 8 x 23 actual watts and 3 x 13 actual watts with mixed spectrum. Leds seemed more cost-effective as far as you get bloom and veg lights in one unit that doesn't produce heat.
Nectar of the Gods has a sample package of Nutes and all you pay is shipping costs. It's a steal at that price and it's a family operated all organic company.
Anyway's just my two cents, excited to follow this grow and good luck.
