Nutrients
Found these nutrients extremely easy to use. Followed Nebula Hazes' schedule on growweedeasy. Found the flower nutes to be extremely low ppm's and would like to increase my feedings next time around but I didn't want to stray from the schedule for my first run as I wasn't seeing any deficiency signs.

Had a lot of fun growing these girls. They went through a lot off the bat due to my inexperience. Learned a lot during this run and it was extremely rewarding to nurse them back to health. I am very pleased with this grow for it being my first run. I had no expectations as I am just starting to learn and want nothing more than to acquire knowledge. The quality and yields will come once I get more dialed in. Once these girls got healthy they had no problems for the whole grow. I am already planning improvements for future systems and am extremely excited to continue on my grow journey. Thanks to all who helped me out.

I just got a TDS meter and was curious what an optimal ppm range was?

200 ppms sounds sufficient. Ideal PH range for hydro (typically and this varies of course for strains and times of life cycle) is 5.8-6.2. PPMs are less important than having a proper PH. If PH is off, you will get nutrient lockout and your plant will have all sorts of issues. Slowly work your way up with the PPMs and remember less is more and not all PPMs are created equal haha.. Meaning 200 PPMs of grow feed isnt equal to 200 PPMs with bloom and a P/K booster.. So you can burn your plants or have deficiences even with a correct "PPM" because of nutrient imbalances and how the plant feeds. Happy growing! πŸ‘πŸ’ͺ

Is the droopy growth (pictured) a result of over watering or leaves just getting heavy?

Hey there basementgrow, yeah those bugs are afids, one of the best ways to get rid of them is with bacilus thungerensis (BT) and (BT israelis) , these are beneficial microbes that will attack and parasite the larvae of these afids. Second it doesnt look like you've have been overwatering because i can see the leafs are not puffy but that downwards drooping is a symptom of root problems probably from a combination of nutrients and overwatering before. So what i see is you're giving two different micro nutrients , you should really choose only one as they probably both have N in them which is probably what is causing issues in the root zone. Choose the one with the least or no N in it then make sure you give enough to maintain the calcium and magnesium intake. The roots will eventually fix themselves as long as you follow a strict wet/dry cycle, otherwise you can use a chelation agent such as enzymes or humic acid once a week and this should break down the problem roots and gve a boost to your plant. Hope this helps ! πŸš€

Im planning on my final defoliation to be on Day 21 flower. Should I remove every fan leaf/any leaf not directly attached to the bud or is that too much? How do some of you go about your final defoliation?

Hey I think removing every fan leaf is going to be too much. The only defoliation you want to do at this point is anything that is directly blocking budsites from getting light and to make sure the plant has enough air flow to prevent moldy buds. When your plant reaches maturity at the end of flower it pulls all of the nutrients out of the fan leaves to feed the flowers and bulk them up. If you dont have enough fan leaves then it will start pulling nutrients out of your sugar leaves and you can end up with brown leaves in your buds. It will affect the flavor and final product. Hope this leads you in the right direction. Good luck!

Hi there, out of curiosity, how close did you have your lights to your plants? You don't need to throw away your lights, but you do need to back them up, your babies are cooking. It's hard to overwater plants in coco especially past seedling stage but you do want wet/dry cycle to promote strong root growth. Feet wet/ankles dry. I suspect your lights were extremely close causing the bleaching, curled leaves and leaves being dried/crispy. I would disgard any damaged/burnt leaves, ensure good air flow around canopy. I usually start my LED'S 30 plus inches away while slowly lowering 1 inch per day until you reach your sweet spot. 15-18 inches is prime for the lights that I use but yours are different so you have to observe each day to how your plants respond. Listen to what your plants are telling you, in this case the leaves are curling upwards and are crispy as chit. She's trying to say she is way too hot. Your stems are most likely red because of the light stress. PH could be lowered a tad 6.0- 6.3 but otherwise I believe the culprit is lights to close. I hope this helps you. You've come to the right place, best of wishes, Stalks Strong!!

@OhcanaDAbiz, Thank you for your suggestions! Seriously greatly appreciated. My lights were 24in off the ground which made them about 16-17 in off the canopy. I raised them to 24in above the canopy and may even try 30 today. Thank you. Im going to add new pictures for todays progress.

Too much light, too much nutrients, too much soil. It might be a very good idea to start over, fixing this will take some time and you will have to wait longer before you will fill out that tent and start flowering. That being said ... Nursing these plants back to health can be a rewarding and educational experience. I would do any combination of the following - Throw out all the LEDs and replace them with a cheap 110W T5 (CFL) light https://www.secretjardin.com/catalogue/lighting-for-indoor-culture-secret-jardin/lamps-for-indoor-culture-secret-jardin/tneon-2x55w/bl,product,95,0 Or only use about 100W of LED grow lighting. - Dilute your water with rain/demineralised or RO water. My tap water is 0.8EC I dilute to 0.4EC and alternate watering between ... the dilution (0.4EC) and rain water/ro/demineralised water (0.08EC). - I would spray the stalk and foot of the plant gently and lightly daily twice for as long as necessary with low EC water (0.4EC or lower). We want to get the purple out of your stems ASAP. - I would add a cloche/humidity dome to keep humidity high (75ish) while also keeping temperature low (22-24C). Spray the sides of the domes with little bit of water when they are dry - I might consider a flush when the plant is up for it - when it's big enough to winter the required overwatering to fix the high nutrient levels in the soil ... remember you fed an already fertilised soil ! - Don't focus on the ph ... unless this truelly is a no soil grow (cocos). - Look at the plant, take notes. It's the bad times that need the best observations.

@@lilbp420, i gave them a normal watering with proper pH today and was planning on doing the same tomorrow but I have not entirely flushed and checked runoff yet. this is the first week they are starting to look healthy and i thought a flush might be too much this week. they seem to be drinking pretty slowly anyways as the top of my pot is damp the next day. if you think they can handle it though id like to check those results as soon as possible. as for pictures in normal light, the room im growing in is generally very dark and didnt want to turn the lights off during the day and use flash. if you dont think this is a problem please let me know.

@basementgrown, looking up this week. Have you flushed with Ph correct water and checked run off for tds and Ph? If you over feed in the first weeks you might find you have nutes built up in the medium. I would try flushing with a up to a few gallons of water if your runoff is a really high tds or the Ph is way off. What you have listed right now isn't too bad. I'm actually thinking you might be a little light on Micro. If you can add pictures under normal lighting that would be great.

The latest photos of the plants look good. If those were older fan leaves lower on the plant it could be old damage or deficiencies that appear more pronounced at this point.Photos of leaves from previous weeks showed some older past issues. I would go by how the rest of the leaves are currently looking. It gets difficult to keep track but I would gradually remove any damaged leaves a few at a time to help determine if there are any new issues.

I think since you just had the one bugs you can remove it by hand. You need to be careful spraying neem oil. Never spray when the lights are on it can burn the leaves. As far as removing leaves I would hold off doing that your plants aren't that dense you can just tuck or tie them out of the way. I would also suggest increasing your nutrients gradually using GH feed schedule as a guide and by what your plants are telling you. Hope this helps. https://generalhydroponics.com/feedcharts

@Philindicus, Thank you for the advice! I am using a modified GH schedule that a grower has used many times with success. I am aware my ppms seem pretty low but im not seeing any deficiency signs so ill follow the schedule until I do.

Range of PPMs are going to be different depending on your set-up and size of plants too. Lately ive found 400+ PPMs will cause nitrogen toxicity in Veg and I try to work up from 350ish to 5-550 in flower. I recommend starting at 1/3 of feed schedule and watch how the plant reacts and go from there. I have found better results when keeping my PPMs under 600 and trying to optimize the feed by reading the plant and where it is at its lifecycle.
