So far they are both not looking like winners :(, but I’ll keep them runting away for the contest sake. But I can honestly not understand what stunted them like this and caused this kind of mutation. The rock-wool was properly balanced, light was also dimmed, no sign of nutrient burn or deficiency….Very strange. The one that didn’t popped was replaced by an Afghan auto which so far is not showing any issues on the same feed.
@Salokin, as u maybe remember, also the seed I'm growing right now got some mutation. We can't know what causes that at 100% I guess, but to be honest I think mutation doesn't mean problem or sh*t plant every time. For sure isn't due rockwool, you are experienced with this kind of medium!
Anyway in 1 or 2 weeks I'll start a new crop (Fast flowering fem by FB420) in my 3x3 and I'll try to be heavy with nutriens, like you!
@DeepWaterGrower, usually I don’t have a problem with this kind of feed and so far no signs of tip burn or over feed, but I also used grodan blocks again and somehow I never manage to get my seedlings started properly on them (funny enough on Speedgrow green I never have issues) All of the seedlings started mutating right from the moment of germination. No clue as to why, since the rockwool was ph balanced. Also used a lot less nutrients in week one. Plus the light was dimmed. All very frustrating, same for the pineapple chunk btw.
@FarmZOG,
Hey growmie, not sure we’re you are taking the 1.6 EC you mean I guess, but usually I start off day 0 -5 with an EC of around 0.6 and in week 1 go up to an EC of 1. run off I rarely measure, as these are a stabilized canna aqua nutrients, made for recirculating systems. During veg the solution is always stable for at least 7 days, which in flower could be shortened to 3—4 days depending on feeding times etc.. Feel free to DM me if you need a bit more detail.
