Hmm, I feel that at 30 days those plants should be at least twice as high...
What are the ppms of your runoff? I still belive that you should flush the plants out good and proper (if they're 5 gal pails, flush them with 15 gal. of water). I think they'll really benefit from the refreshing, especially where before your ppms were up around 1000.
Don't forget growth will slow BEFORE more the more severe "burning" occurs, and I think you've just been riding that fence.
let me know what your thoughts are on this...
Great advice Ultra, +reps when I can! I am indeed riding the fence This reminds me of something I read recently in another journal - one of the GrowLEDHydro folks is growing a single SLH in the same tent I'm using. He was well in to flowering when he decided to feed the plant some sort of "miracle-stuff" and 12 hours later the plant was at death's door. He gave it a gigantic flush, just like you suggest, and the plant recovered just fine - the colas are amazing, especially given that he's using just one 180W LED.
Anyway, if I were in the same position I'd be flushing for sure. But I don't think my situation is nearly as desparate. Just poked my nose in the tent and the look of the plants continues to improve so I'm going to wait a bit. I have reference photos of the previous grow at day 33 veg. When this grow gets there - 2 days from now - I'll take some photos and do a side-by-side comparison. If we're behind then it'll be time to take action. If we're on par or ahead of the curve I'll start adding nutes back in to the mix.
If nothing else, I've learned how valuable it is to have reference photos so I can compare the current grow to an objective benchmark.
More soon!
