Hows it going im curious if anyone out there using advanced nutrients 3 part has any specific feedings they abide by. My last grow i pretty much did what they recommended on there website and this time i was trying to follow full duplex FF schedule but the 2 3 part formulas dont have the same n-p-k values so its not really how FD did it. I also wondered when i should start feeding them black strapped molasses and how often? Last grow i i belive i used 1tsp per gallon every 2 weeks but it wasnt a auto. Thanks i also included a pic of my 2 short ryders at 22 days old

There are lots of theories about how to apply molasses but I wouldn't be worried about feeding too much at all with only 22 days past, try looking around the site, especially the organics section and you will find someone to help you out, if all else fails try PMing Joe Dirt or Muddy for answers, they are the new growers helpers, and are very kind, and have a wealth of knowledge...

What wattage is that LED panel ya got there?
 
I feed molasses at about week 4-5. I start at half TBS per gal for first week. then Full TBS or two weeks then down to half TBS for last week or so. I flush with molasses s well but Im in soil.
 
I start feeding molasses when they show sex (very lightly), and just gradually increase throughout the grow. Until they hit the stage when they stop growing and fatten up, then I hit them hard until its time to harvest.

Its a cheap LED i got from cali grow kits i kinda rushed into buying it last year its .3 watt bulbs and theres 255 bulbs. id love to switch to HPS but dont have proper ventilation.

Thanks TRU what measurments do you use?
 
I use their 2 part and follow their feed chart, just work yourself up to full strength. If your in a hot soil you might not be able to feed full strength without burning. Just watch your leaf tips for yellowing.

Hate to say it but that LED panel wont grow pot plants well at all.... You don't need to get HID lighting though.... I borrowed 6 of those LED panels (same exact kind) from a buddy to try and use on my party cups and they all just started to die and stunt, and all leaves started to discolor.....
As soon as I gave them a 125 watt CFL they took off again, but man was I disappointed by that LED panel..... People even complain about the 1 watt diodes so 0.3 watts is not a lot at all...

See how you are losing the lower leaves on the plants in there? That could be a deficiency but after using the LEDs you have, my perfectly healthy plants started to look the same within 2-5 days because the lower leaves did not get enough light at all....

I would scrap the led and get what you can from it or use as supplemental side lighting and then get a T5 panell or a cheap DIY CFL fixture with around 250 actual watts.... That would be great for the 2 plants you have, at least for now...

Good grow karma sent and I hope you can get some more light on those plants :smokeit:

Thanks im going to do that i just need to get another air stone so i can do three at time right now i do to two .5 liter bottles i let them bubble for about 3 hours before add the nutes and feed do you think 3 hours is sufficient? (i only have a soil ph meter i need to invest in a digital) i was trying to compare my AN feeding to FD's FF schedule by doing micro+ grow for the first 2 feeds and i just did grow+bloom today.

Also what additives from them do you use?
 
I'm not sure about the 3 hours bubbling, I think FD recomends 24 hours. I just let my water get to room temperature before using. I use to bubble mine, until it started raising my pH from 5.0-5.5 to 7.0+.

Currently I'm just running Bud Candy along with my Sensi pH Perfect base nutes. Their Big Bud and Overdrive is another favorite thou.
