i have always wanted to try the floranova series.  i have some yellowing / burn marks too.
i am currently w/ a homemade tea. . .
2 tsp bat guano
1 tbspn FF Grow big
1 dose of CalMag
and two more secret ingredients.
they thrive when they get some of this... i noticed day #2 the size difference and the vigor.

What's FF? Are the secret ingredients semen and breast milk? That floranova was 29$ for 1 quart. I had to mix in like 10 tablespoons of it. I might switch to a smaller rez.

how would you guys suggest foliar feeding?? i have a nute deficiency or possible lock out i want to change, and i heard foliar is a good "quick" way for a plant to abosrb and recover while it feeds from the roots.
so i've used a fine mist and misted my babies today as well as feeding them.

A fine mist sounds about right. I like to do it about 20 min before the lights go out so the water can't lead to light burns.I also try not to foliar feed very often, maybe once every third grow.

I think I will update this with pictures every friday from here on out. Here's this weeks update. I switched to floranova nutes on wednesday night and they have had 3 feedings with it. ppm remains at 620 or so and ph at around 6.0. Lights are on 24 hrs a day for the last two weeks or so. I am hoping to have an HID system by New Years.

I have read and have witnessed watering @ night can increase mold susceptibility. Water before the lights come on.

I don't know about increasing mold susceptibility considering these plants are in veg, maybe in flower. HPS lights achieve full intensity so quickly that the water doesn't have enough time to evaporate before the light can burn them if you water in the beginning of the light cycle, outdoors is a different matter entirely though. But don't take my word for it, to each their own.

Well, i got my lights on 24/7 for the time being. I also placed some black/white poly on top of the hydroton baskets. It makes it quite a bit brighter as you would expect.

Thanks bro! I keep comparing the growth of my 7 plants to other grow logs and am just getting discouraged doing that. When do you guys stop giving your seedlings only H20 and start with a nutrient formula? This appears to be what stunted the growth (i think dr said that above).

heh i fed mine for the first time at like a week .... quickly realized that was a mistake, burned the plants and lost like 2-3 days of growth, luckily i flushed fast and they recovered without any major damage, after that i fed them again when i repotted them, which was like two and a half weeks in and with way better nutes, that seemed to work
here's something to make u feel better
i transplanted this poor baby at about 2 weeks and fed it as well, and that almost killed it, now it's barely recovering after some serious flushing
it's 3 weeks old now and here's what it looks like
i'm growing mine in soil tho.... i don't know shit about hydro

Hmmmm, i added more nutrient solution to the rez today before the feeding - which should start in the next few minutes. The ppm is now 1,100.

PICTURE UPDATE
Hmm, just looking at the last update I did I can really see the growth. When you examine the plants more than 5 times every day seeing the growth is hard. That's really why I like doing these logs for myself.
Additionally, I am wondering if the row of three plants (which were all three taken from that bud picture I showed you guys on 11/18) is of an indica strain. Notice how much fatter those leaves are than the four growing behind them?
^indica??^

i would suggest afghanica due to the roundness of the leaves, and the sativas you have.
