Need some help..

[teh_piper]

thank you piper for the help actually i just realized i do have the plant energy which is the link i posted, but i also have this http://www.gtghydroponics.com/store/0-0-807.htm am i right in assuming this is the nutrients i should be using for vegetative growth and this http://www.gtghydroponics.com/store/0-0-808.htm is for budding?

Yes those should work just fine. I've never used them specifically or any cornucopia products for that matter. If your plants like them, then that's what matters. I'd be cautious however using the plant energy. If you do use it, KEEP A CHECK ON YOUR PH! You should be checking pH for unknown water and nutrient solutions anyways.

You are familiar with pH up and pH down products right?

As for the pests, I'm not sure what you have exactly but my #1 solution to pests is neem oil which I've only found online.

Kills any pests I've ever had and is completely safe for your plants. Doesn't need to be reapplied often either, maybe every 2 weeks but after 1 or 2 uses pests should be no more.

You could also try a home remedy of tobacco tea. It works great, the nicotine kills and keeps away pests, and doesn't hurt your plants. I wouldn't use this in flowering however, it might leave a tobacco taste if used on buds and you don't want that.
Make a tea with tobacco(from cigarettes, pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco, ect)
Boil hot water, while mixing in the tobacco and stirring it. Keep adding tobacco and mixing until you have a liquid the color of tea. Strain it, put the liquid in a spray bottle and spray your plants down. I've used it in a light watering as well to kill pests that were on and in the soil

Glad I can be of some help mate!

Those meters should work great for what you need. I usually didn't worry about TDS until I moved into hydro, but they're great to have and use. Now, I can't tell you exactly how to use those specific ones. Just follow the instructions and calibate as often as you feel necessary(atleast once or twice a grow). Did you get instructions with these units? Are they adequate instructions? I know sometimes instructions can loose a lot in translation

Here is some pH up and pH down.

You use it, as instructions say, to get your waterings and nutrient solutions in the right pH range. (6.5-7, I prefer 6.5).

As for your TDS, there are tons of threads around here telling you how many PPM you should have in feedings at each stage of growth and even for specific nutrient lines. I've never used TDS in soil except to check run off from the soil if I'm having problems so I can't help you much there. But when I have time I'll search around for some threads I have in mind.

Ok so its been a while since I posted but heres the update

I have since grown the 10 clones for a while cut a bunch of clones from them 40 to be exact and have since put them all outside they are doing great! I'll try to post some updated pics in a minute. I'm using 5 gallon buckets and miracle grow moisture control soil can someone give me an estimate i could expect from the crop for harvest? They are in a decent spot with a good amount of light the 10 are pretty big with the other 37 about 7 inches to about a foot. Thanks!

When i say the 10 big ones are good size is say about 2-3 feet and still have a few months
