Good growing karma sent your way.Let us no later how you like those nutes,thanks.

Thanks @namvet25, always nice to have good karma. The dutch pro is spot on, I don't seem to use anything else plus at £11 its quite cheap. The regain-a-root, I use from start to finish, at 1ml per litre it doesn't effect the ec metre and the mighty grow is very very strong. It says to use at 1ml per litre but no way, even at the hight of veg I use it may be twice a week at 1-2ml per 7 litres, and I reduce my A and B when I do add it.

Wicked jayc, I'm hoping to put on a good show with these. My profile picture is of wipeout express from the last time I grew it. One of my mates has been banging my ears to grow it again as he says it's the best weed he's ever had so I hope not to disapoint him.

Hi @namvet25, a bit more data on the food I'm using.

My tap water is ph7.3 and ec0.5, non seem to effect my ph.

1ml dutch pro in 1L water = ec0.9. +ec0.4
1ml Regain-a-root in 1L water = ec0.6. +ec0.1 NPK 0-0-1
1ml mighty grow in 1L water = ec0.9 +ec 0.4 NPK 11-0-0

Yesterday I started feeding at ec0.8, 2ml dutch pro, 5ml root, 3.5ml magnacal and dropped the ph to 5.8 in a 7L watering can.

UPDATE

Day 14.

I have been feeding my girls at an ec0.8, ph5.8 and lights 18/6 for the last 7 days and they are coming on nicely, it has got a little to warm a couple of times and got a bit of lead curl but no dramas. I keep moving them around so each plant gets the same light as each other. I'm getting about 50% run off from feeding which ensures no salt built up in the early stages which is a mistake i used to make. Just because they are small doesn't mean you don't need a good run off.

I keep seeing on posts about light distance from your plants, so I thought I would touch on this and give you my out look on this. To me this is a totally up to what your plants tell you and this comes with getting a few grows under your belt. If your just hatched babies stretch and fall over move the light closer to them, if they frazzel you have it to close. At the moment my lights are about 24-30in above my plants (1x900w + 2x300w) and my babies are about 2" tall. Now to me this is perfect, the green you see above the soil is developing very nicly, but it's what you don't see below ground that is making the difference. Your plants don't need to be 10ft tall in the first 4 weeks, roots are more important than hight in the first few weeks.
