hmm...

hmm...

If it's just the bottom leaves, I think they're still hungry and need more. Also, I can't see a 400 watt jumping yer bill that much! fix that damn dryer man! lol BC

i just started running my 400hps last month i ran it for 18 ours a day for 2 weeks and didnt even see a differnce in my bill i got a digital 400 off ebay.

cat claw = rams horn, the leafs only will do that if over nuted. In my experience it affects both new and old growth.

yeah 100 a month is nothin. figure 15 to run the light, 50 to cool it would be average. mine went up 100 running a 600w. 1/2 tsp is waaay high. thatd prolly like 600+ ppm how often do u feed

I dunno, I get the impression the yellowing bottom leaves tips are clawed alil. They can look that way if they are being sucked dry by the plant. Rams horns are usually at the top of an overfed plant. I don't think the bottom leaves would be turning yellow if that were the case. The whole plant would be a deep dark green. A 1/2 tsp isn't that much for a vegging plant in promix, unless it's just seedlings? Kinda hard to tell without pictures. BC

FF's feeding schedule would have you using 2t+ of Grow Big per gallon in all but the initial seedling/rooted cutting stages, every other watering... assuming you're talking veg.

1/2t per gallon is well less than that, so combined with BC's observations I'd think you are just underfeeding a little. Like he said, though, kinda a shot in the dark without pics.

Probably under feeding, and check out how much cal/mag your getting and make sure your getting the right amounts there. Not sure Grow Big has it all in it. Doesn't sound like a cal problem, but no pics. . and it is something to keep in mind. As is your ph- ProMix shifts things lest I am mistaken.

thnx fer replyin dudes i havnt been on to reply back but im back on...highering the dosage helped it out i figured i was usin 2 less n just tried it i geuss it seemd to do the trick....but unfortunatly i started flowering bout to weeks ago...my 2 helathiest and big plants dropped nuts on me needless to say i was very dissapointed...and the other 2 plants are midgets and havnt rly growin much the whole time,,,so i dont expect to pick up much if anythng significant at all with these 2 hopefully its just a learning experience for nextime i figure they were small cuz i didnt rly start feeding it for awile sept for sum feeding upped my dosage helped the others but these seem stubborn to NOT grow...ANy1 got any explanation on why this would happen?? this rly blows...i had 1 bout foot n half tall other bout a foot and these 2 are 6-8 inches they been in the light for a goodwhile with full month n sum change of veg ill put up sum pics in 30 er so

Kinda what I was thinking, maybe I'm learning a little.

JS. Sometimes I get slow growth in flower If I put a relatively small root ball in a large pot of wet soil. Roots grow to the edge of the soaked new soil and just seem to stall. They seem to grow better when I let the feeder roots grow well into dryer (even dry from the bag) soil, they really grow fast. Then I saturate em and let em dry out before next water. When those two are harvested, look at the root ball. If there's still a considerable amt of soil that easily brakes from the ball, could be a stalled root ball transition from transplant. Sorry to hear about the balls.
