Ehhh... I didn't like the Lucas formula when I tried it. Need some better individual plant shots. Are the roots in the flood zone? PPM seems too high still. pH is not bad... How much CalMag did they get? Did you mix the CalMag first? I can't really comment on FNB as I mention before... Hope the others that have used it can help. Good luck... :thinkingSo after about two days on the LUCAS FORMULA, these are the results. I cant figure this shit out. Every res is exactly the same.
ppm 1300-.07 conversion
water temp 70
ph5.9
77 degrees at canopy
Here are the pics let me know what you guys think is going on.. Maybe transplant stress?? But why not on all? Some of the plants look fucking amazing and others look like they could die any minute.
I pulled a few that looked the worst and they had not even attempted to root. Any thoughts?
PPM seems too high still
Why would you still be watering with RO and no CalMag? Also how is it possible that the RH is zero when you have a hydro setup? This must be some sort of test... :giggle
Dude, let's get you to successfully veg before you flip the switch to bloom... :shake
^^^^This.
Yoda, you'll quickly learn that less is more with nutes - we've all started out thinking "well shit, if they love 2.0 EC, then they're gonna fucking go nuts at 4.0!!"
Unfortunately, you can have too much of a good thing - the Lucas Formula is designed for full-sized vegging plants to take them through to flower - your plants are not strong enough yet to take an EC that high.
I assume you went with the full 8mL/gallon - cut that back to 5mL/gallon and see how your plants react (they'll like it more, trust me).
With nutes, always start low and work your way up - it's a lot easier to just add some more nutes than it is to drain your reservoir and start over - plants also are MUCH easier to fix when under-nuted as opposed to over-nuted.
Good luck :RastaBong:
EDIT: I assumed that your RH was okay - what's it at? Vegging plants do like RH is the 50s-60s, so if your RH is super low that could certainly be contributing to your issues.
Ahh... Bump your CalMag to 3 ml/gal in a week... As for the RH, the riddle sounds like a good one... :thinking I bet the AC's running are pulling all that humidity out, but your hygrometer can't be correct as 0% RH means there is no moisture at all in the air... What's your room temps at?
Hmmm, I'm stumped on the zero RH... I seriously think something is wrong with your hygrometer. In the meantime, read this post on VPD:Shady the reason i asked about flowering is because i have to have surgery in feb. I will be hospitilized for two weeks in recovery. I was just thinking that i might want to bring this issue up with you guys to see what u think i should do. Dont have anybody else who can help me really so what do u think?
Room temp on floor 67
canopy level 77
ceiling temp 72
No worries brah... "I'm a star... How can I not shine?" Eventually these suits will appreciate my experience and Engineering degree, especially since I work smarter, not harder... :cool
Anyways, here's another more recent VPD article that's a bit easier to read:

Sorry to hear about the upcoming surgery... I don't know how you can possibly keep this automated for two weeks without supervision, one week maybe, but two is pushing it. Also there's the issue of harvesting, drying for a week, and curing amd burping jars for 3 wks... This is a lot of work especially at the scale you are attempting...
BTW, I envy you for having a job... I was laid-off as a Construction Manager and it's been difficult to find work in socal. :itwasntme
