Hello everybody, So it seems that i have run into a bit of a snag with GH Nutes mainly there Flora series. Before, I was using the FloraNova Series and it was great. It worked very well. However my buddy told me that i could get the same results if not better with there Flora series. Now i desided to give this a try so i fallow the instructions on the back and thats when the problems started. 3tsp of floragrow 2tsp of flora micro and 1 tsp of flora bloom per gallon which is what they recomend for veg stage. My ppms are at 900 and my PH is at 6.2. First problem i got was Magnesium defficiency, My second problem that arised was Nute lockout, Okay no problem so i flushed and started a new with a bit less mag, Now after a days wait, it looks like i have Phosphorus difficiency. I have never had so meany problems one after the other like this, im getting a bit frustrated, This is a DWC grow by the way. I hope there is someone on this forum who uses GH and has a few suggestions for me.

Thanks everyone and i will post pics if need be after im done work.

dude u dont use the bloom until its flowering time thats where u went wrong...how big r ur plants? how long have u been in veg? first get ur ph right if its hydro get ur ph at a 5.8-6.0 if its orgo 6.8-7.0 then u gotta put the micro in first 1 1/2 tablespoons per gallon then the same with the grow but let the micro mix in first....that should do the trick its my first time but i took a growing class at a cannibas club and my buddy i grow with is experienced with gh

Bump... Anyone?
It sounds like your PH may be fluxuating. compare your run off to your res PH. May have some funk growing in the res. Try to keep your PH at 5.8, that seems to be the sweet spot that allows all of the elements to be absorbed threw the plants, Your EC/ppm sounds fine. Don't know what dookeys talking about. It's a three part solution. What type of mediun are you using? I'm just assuming your doing hydro.

Its a Deep Water Culture. My PH, is sitting at 6 check it this morning... my plants dont seem to be getting any worst, nor are they getting better.... I'm going to give it another couple days and if things don't clear up by then, do another flush and start from scrach again until i can get it right. My biggest consern at this point is that the plants accumulate too much stress and herm. They have only been in Veg for a week and a half.

I don't see any pics.How big are your plants? I use the same nutes, my 5 week clones are growing nicely, big fan leaves, getting bushy, 1300 ppm's, pH 5.8-6.2..

My plants seem to be doing better... Still not as well as how i would like them to be. But at least they are growing again. It has to be my PH level, I have hard water, A cup of water in my area has 180 ppm, That's high which means im going to need to add quite a bit of mag each time i use those nuts, and bring down my ph level. I think next grow im going to look into a diffrent water source.

tell you guys about GH nutes,it leaves salkt buld up on everything after 10days in my rez, my PH is all over the map in 2 days and i have big city water with ppms at less than 30 7ph, they recomend use all 3 parts just less of each during veg/flower, i burned my tips real good at half strength no less, so i wound up cutting out the gro formula and im in flower going with micro,bloom, liq kool bloom and nectar, the 3 part gave me nute burn at 1100ppm , i used dynagro veg formula at 1200ppm and it was gold.....im not crazy about this shit i only got it cus it was thin and didnt wanna jam my sprayers
