I Am lucky enough to have that good water and its a well. When it rains a lot the ppm's will be around 180-200 when its dry around 150 to 170 so it does fluctuate but i have never seen it over 200 ppm .5 scale. As for my plant she is a Dinafem Cheese and i am currently using veg+bloom Dirty as a nutrient in coco/perlite mix my light is 250 hps. so i have a tiny set up but this is my first time growing. the scrog screen is 2.5 foot by 2 foot. With the light out she is looking better than i thought she was.

adjust your ph before you feed bro, I see the damage but if this is your first grow youre doing great and you're right the new growth looks on point.

Thanks Hugh Midity, This is my very first run but i have been reading,studying and smoking as much as i can forever. i like to have at least an educated guess about what i'm doing before i get started! I have no practical experience other than what you see in the pictures. I have read 20 grow books and been reading here and other forums for about 2 years, now i'am sick of reading about growing and had to jump in! She is under 250w HPS now and today is day 8 of flower she did veg for around 3 months under fluorescent lights i'am feeding her 900 ppm .5 scale this week I normally mix up a 1/2 gallon every night and let it sit overnight then ill adjust the PH and feed the whole half gallon!

My first 1/2 gallon flush with tap water went in @ 165 ppm .5 scale and 6.0 ph the runoff was 1000 ppm and 5.63 ph. so it looks like i have some issues, where to go from here? where should my next flush be as far as ph goes? and thanks Bugman for the help.
your ppm is a little high,& ph is a little low

for your first grow your dooing fine, a little damage but it looks like it comming out of it.
for coco
your PH should be at 5.8-5.9
your PPM should be at 600-800 [VB dirty right ?]
flush or feed ph water no food till your ppm r down to 800ppm
then feed at 600-800

Im trying v&b ro for the first time myself aspen. I liked the way the rez mixes so far.

I should have gone with a different formula of the V+B. I say this because i grow in coco and i currently have the V+B Dirty witch was formulated for use in Peat mixes like Promix or Sunshine, In My water the Dirty formula after mixing and sitting a few hours will settle at 5.6 PH and stay there. This issue and a bad ph meter led me to my problems. But i think the V+B line up is the SHIT! one of my girl friends is using the Tap formula having stellar results. Her plants look amazing and she has only grown a few times indoors!
Ok I had to edit this because the Dirty formula settles at 6.5 ph looks like i need a nother dab!

ive used vb dirty in tap water,coco & promix with no problems.
i dont check my ph when i mix ,after a few days i check my ph which is 5.5 -5.8 at this time,i add ph up at this time to about 6.0.
i recirculate my water 2 times a day 30 min each feeding, one day im going to change an just feed 2 or 3 times a day at about 1 1/2 min.each feeding just a little runoff.
