Looking very good! Considering this is your first grow and you're using pH strips instead of the proper meter.

ty for this info as well as the correct gmb.

i just bought up ALL the distilled water locally lol. So the stores are out of stock and im out of stock due to the water change today. i only have well water thats very high in sulfur. i was told not to use it.

So all i can do at the moment is add 1 more ml per gal of G. Micro is right on the money according to your info, which leaves 2 ml per gallon TOO much of bloom.

that should put me at 4-3-3. do you think that will be acceptable for a while? plants are 4 weeks old now.

nope no change in water level.

....

Plant 1 is a bit droopy, clawing and tacoing of some leafs, some glossy leafs and some brown spots here and there. Mostly on the oldest leafs though. For
some reason its still shooting up and growing... Plant 2 also shows these signs but not nearly as badly and looks much healthier.

Overfeeding.

Plus, using distilled water, you will cause other issues (unless you are already addressing them)

i actually have a PH meter. It is not calibrated cause i dont have a way to measure 250ml of water to use the calibration powder to calibrate it. it reads 4.2 when the PH test kit i have shows its closer to 6.5

Yeah you should be okay at that feed level. What you get mostly in the bloom nutrients are sulfur and PK and you need those mostly at the very end.

So your change in parts per million readings would have to be due to temperature change or fluctuations in the meter.

PS you should look into getting yourself a reverse osmosis system, they don't cost that much and you don't have to go out for distilled water.

calimagic is on the way. 1-0-0 from amazon

M_C suggests overfeeding. i started the plants with 2-2-2 as advised but it should have been 3-2-1 im now seeing.
now i am at week 4 and should be feeding 4-3-1, but im sitting at 3-3-3. the overfeeding im guessing is bloom neut by 2ml too much per gallon.
both plants has always had a few clawing leaves and tacoing with some brown spots and some shiney leafs. got worse when i bumped up to 3-3-3 and forgot to test ph.

ty all im starting to understand it now. before i had no idea what 4-3-1 meant lol. i was just told what to buy, how to assemble and how to operate it. now that there is
problems and my mentor not really able to help, i have had to just straight up learn it which is what i should have done first off. his way works for him but im a perfectionist
and apparently able to see issues he dont.

when the stores stock more water, ill change the water again but this time with correct levels of neuts. i could use the well water but its unpredictable. some days it runs
brown and smells like the lake out back, some days it runs mostly clean and other days its very heavy with sulfur.

yea we have been looking into it. we have undrinkable (stinky tastes nasty) well water and have to buy in ALL our drinking water.
