1000 hps
400 mh
18 various plants
coco watered every 2 days, tap water de-gassed.
6/9ml gh Micro/bloom, 3ml gh calmag, 2ml 1% magnesium sulfate, 1ml 0-2-1 organic bloom booster.
Shooting for 900ppm (no ppm meter)
ph 6.0ish, runoff same.

I'd like to flip to flower now but they are not looking good enough. They look a little overfed. But some look underfed. I can't really tell. Please help.

I think enviroment is dialed in. But the water/food doesn't look right.
Your help is much appreciated!
Picture in a sec.

1400 watts 2-3 feet away should be enough. Lights are just firing up for pictures. Thats why it looks dim.
The kiddie pool is 5 feet and directly under the 1000 watt hps. And hell yeah they look small. I've been topping a lot though. Need to keep them short. Not much head room. I'll tie down while they stretch though.

I'm gonna tell u the truth. They look like shit. Some looks stunted...over or under feeding. Some leaves are all F'd up. This is what I would do if those were my hoes. I would let my medium dry up as much as possible. Then I would flush them with distill water. Afterwards I would only feed at 10% and build my way back up. Flush them bitches like Noah ark my cracks!!

They do look like shit for the most part. My feeding wasnt on point and rarely is. Ive never flushed other then last week. So that might be the ticket. They are going to look like shit because of it though. Hope it works. I do hope phed tap will do. Then the nutrients at 20% probably. Easier to mix one gallon to dillute to five in a bucket. I dont usually take much advise but i think your right. Plus i never flush. So now ill learn. Thanks.

I hope they do bounce back for you. It makes you sick to your stomach because you tried your best to take care of them girls and this is how they repay you?? Maybe and hopefully not some bananas. Keep us inform bro and good luck.

Two weeks later. Day one of flower.
I was able to get a good recovery by dropping nutrients to 40% and increasing the leaching. Then 50% and 60%
I just watered after this picture was taken with 70% nutrient solution.
I am very happy with the even green I have. I learned a little.
Thank you.

Lookin way better man good job. That's how they should look going into flower.

I was just gonna suggest you leave the soil 2" below the top of the pot, that way when you water you fill it to the top and it'll soak in all around. Makes it quicker for you, and a more even dispersement in the soil (perhaps).

Anyways again, good job:)
