Absolutely! I was just calculating the ppm for the solution he made. If you put 5g epsom in 7L of water your Mg ppm are down at more reasonable 71. Still have to add that to whatever is in the other nutes though.

And if he used only half a litre of the original 5g to 1.5 litre solution wouldn't that reduce the 5g figure by two thirds before the 7 litre dilution?
Or have I gone to far?
I didn't recalculate using the original numbers, I came up with what 5g of epsom salt would be in 7L of water. If that turns out to be 7.5L total in the res it's obviously even more diluted

I'm giving myself flashbacks to math class.
If a train leaves Edinburgh at 3:00pm traveling the 300 miles at an average of 74mph and the driver is stoned...
Q: what does he eat when he arrives?

If he's heading to The West, Cornish pasty!

No Ginsters crap though.

do you know vet..after some rudimentary math skills and consulting a train driver eating a Cornish pasty...he reckons you'll be on the strong side of alright with the Epsom salts.No Ginsters crap though.

6 weeks for the Cheeses and day 25 for the WWxNL. I've decided tomorrow they'll get 12 hours darkness.
Grabbed a few pics before the lights came on.

Had their first full night sleep. Looking forward to seeing how these ladies go now. The XS2000 is on 50% at 18" above the canopy. It really does kick out some light.

Today I've topped the res up with 5L of feed. Bumped the calmag up to 0.75ml/L. Didn't want to jump to double the dose. I'll see how they respond to that before making any more moves.
Yesterday I said the light was at 18", but today the Mac N Cheese is 16" away. I had a feeling she'd shoot up. If it wasn't for the rust spots the Blue Cheese would be perfect in my eyes. Grows beautifully. The WWxNL unfortunately looks like she's taking a beating. Wish I had space to set her up in a 2x2 and nurse her back to health in veg.

She does seem to be settling down. New growth is still a bit yellow, especially on the tips, but overall she's looking much happier.WWxNL will get through this.
The Cheeses are looking pretty happy too. Not perfect, but happy. The Mac N Cheese seems to have much longer internodal spacing. Not sure if it's the genetics or lighting. For some reason her side of the tent does get slightly lower readings on the photone app. Pretty sure the light is dead centre and level but I guess it can't be. I'm very slowly tweaking it up now. A little over 50% right now. I think in the next few days I'll put it up higher and have to turn the power up a bit. I'm out of adjustment on the ratchet hangers so will have to loop the hanging wire carabenas over the end frame poles and clip them back on the hanger wire. It jumps the light up a fair distance. I'll put some pics up when I do it. I'd like the hanging kit wires to be shorter but it's not a deal breaker. To me it makes sense to have them as short as possible.

Vet I have a plan lol if you have a metal coat hanger use the two elbows as a hanging point then cut it in half, push the cut ends trough the light then curl with plyers. I done away with the ropes but used chains and hangers from the old CMH lights.She does seem to be settling down.

Good little DIY fix that. I don't think I've got any wire coat hangers though. I've done similar with heavy duty garden wire on a different light. Just remembered I could dig out the hangers for my XS1000 though and see if they'll do the job. They're much much shorter than the ones that came with the XS2000.
