your saving those?
Thanks for the info on H2SO4 Weasel... a reducing agent by any other name is just "that".
Good luck with your plants! I'm not a big fan of RO water. There is just incredible waste with it. I also think urinals should use more than 1L of water to flush. Guess that's a wash.. anyway, back to my original point. Is your tap water from a local municipality or from a well? If it's the former, I'd look up a water report to see what's in it. At 650 ppm, I can't imagine. From a well, you could expect that. Just curious.
Hope it works out for you. Be real careful not to over water. Also.. resist every urge you have to feed them. Good luck!!!

oh geesh.. H2SO4 is an oxidizer. I won't bore you with the details I just read.. lol. Just over 20 years since Physical Chemistry. I'm getting old

No worries, your best bet would be some flourecent lights, 2 for every 10 plants, or you can use just your 400 watt HPS and keep it 3 feet away, that would work until they're older and can withstand all that light, until you change that, your plants are being extremely stressed. (Unless your lights are 6- 7feet away?

they are looking much better i think they are gonna make it well the ones i had room for anyway the others are gone i'm down to 21 plants. should I trim off the damaged leaves?
These are seriously the size of the clones I ended up taking 3 weeks ago, I can for sure say they'll grow to be healthy if you figured things out.

I believe that their is a chance that some of those plants will pull through & may take a couple of weeks to do so but how many is a question ?
A wise choice to place em in soil tho in till you/we can figure out your hydro issues.
Mmm tap or well water 650 ppm is not that pretty what most peeps do is adjust/lower the nutrients dosage to counter react the water ppm.
I'm not a water/hydro grower myself but did once do a hempy bucket grow that was like 1/4, 1/2 to full rate nutrients depending on stage of growth, i never checked ppm tho only PH i'm just one off of those people even tho my own tap water was 300 ppm.
Off the top of head...
Seedling to young plants 400 to 600 ppm
Vegging 600 to 1000 ppm
Flowering 1200 ppm +
That is purely a rough guide tho & once you do some home work or look around etc you find variations of that to which may cover areas of dominate genetics between indica vs sativa vs hybrids as an example, i'll just say not every strain is equal in needs of nutrients as some are light feeders whilst others are heavy, you can not always find this info out tho but more of case of watch 'n' learn...
Some where along the lines ya find a general ppm level for stages of growth tho.

UPDATE:
I'm down to 9 that i'm going to keep they look pretty solid, but a few are still turning out new leaves with yellow tips and edges. the color maybe hard to see in the photos but its definitely there. Any input would be appreciated. Also I think I got my timeline wrong the plants are actually only about 16 days from sprout. They are being watered every other day i'm letting the soil dry up on top before I water the lower parts of the pot are most likely still wet. I'm now watering with purified water 0-25ppm the pH is 5.52.
Available water will it work?
I installed a water softener and an RO system can i use the water from these systems to water, any clue why my paper tests don't match my digital test? When I use my TDS meter in bottled water I get zero when i put it in water from a local water store i get about 25ppm In municipal water I get very high ppm well water is even higher these waters most likely where the cause of my Hydro system being at 4000+ ppm
Feeding and future
When should I start feeding them, I would like to stretch the canopy of these 9 plants to fill a 10'x10' does that seem realistic? When should I transfer them to the larger hydro system?
Thanks
