Okay guys im only on page 3 of this thread, here is my testimony, and here is my questions.
So I've had to successful runs at hitting just under 3 pounds per light and two unsuccessful runs hitting about 2.25 2.5 pounds per light. I have a 12000 watt facility with two separate 6000-watt rooms double-ended gavitas I run rockwool 4 X 12 tables 24 to 33 plants per table depending on the strain.
with my gorilla glues I most the time will hit the higher range of 2.85 3.0 per light lite of quality herb it seems to be the only straing that doesn't react funny to my nutrient recipe I have problems mostly with my Ogs I tend to get weird Leaf curl early ripening of pistols and stunted Bud development. the only issue that I've had is a low PH when I get back in the morning sometimes in the range of 5.4 to 5.0 I do readjust and flush medium out to fix the pH level but they never seem to come back entirely. Everything seems to be fine and developing correctly until we hit about week 3 and go in for a defoliation. now I have heard that some OG's react funny to defoliation but I've never had a problem in the past. I wish I had pictures but I will have to look through some files to see if I can find some I will show you pictures of my complete set up just to show you what exactly what is going on. so in each 6000 watt room there's one 5-ton ac, 1 humidifier, Week 1 of flower I start at 78 degrees and decrease each week by 1° so I'm at 69 degrees by week 9 as I said before in the past I've had no problems I run in rockwool and begin Week 1 with hand-watering all through week one once a day until they are drying out completely once a day.
then I usually begin the dripper system about week 2. to drippers per plant with
floraflex caps, 1 watering 2 hours after the lights turn on one watering before the lights turn off then week 3 or four I will bump to three feedings per day. one in midday and the other two that we are already doing. I run to waste through the whole cycle try to get about 15 to 20% runoff / watering sometimes a little more sometimes a little less I'm not that perfect they get a fresh Reservoir every 2 to 3 days depending on the watering schedule.
Now here is my questions?! on my fertilizer recipe if anyone notices anything funny in here or excessive please shine in.
This is an adjusted version of an sfv og recipe that seems to work well with most strains usually, but also seems like it can go sour pretty easy since we are applying so much p k that my base pretty much lacks.
In the order i add them to 50 gallon resevior

So here is pretty much what i use i do not use monster bloom, i use
bud blood week 1, and sonic bloom for weeks 2-4, i dont run b52 i use vitamax at same strength. I also add budswell bat guano weeks 3- flush. Also boost weeks 3-8 at 2ml a gallon i feel it helps with flavor profile. I hit them once a week with ogbiowar, and or recharge. also i run to waste the full cycle we had ran the first 4 weeks recirculating, and would run to waste and lower the ppms. This recipes pulls the lightest green sfv og when done correctlt imo. Here is what it does for my GG#4

here is some og and what a proper canopy with this recipe looks like, day 35

So these are week #5 full bloom rockin on this recipe yeilded 11.5 off 3 gavitas 28 plants. Hugo 3 waters a day 5.7-6.4ph, temps states above.
Here are the same plants one run later (right)

So you can see that the gg4 on the left made it threw what ever tf it was that fucked this table up, yield went down but quality was there, same table of OG next to it fuckED entirley, AND NO IT NOT A LIGHT LEAK! They will not stop stretching and fox tailing and leaf curling and all this wild shit. I was gonna upload another file of the whole table but it wont let me.
Super dense and icy! No dark green low quality og you get from over fert, again when done right. So question if anyone has experience, since i run to waste the full cycle you think i should be lowering the ppms in the beginning? So this is pretty much killing my margins per run and it is fucken got me stumped it like every other run or 2 this pops up.
