Ok, lets think about this logically - why are the leaves turning brown? it looks like a Calcium/Phosphorus issue, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS , is it a deficiency??? Unlikely in Hydro as the solution is more effective as there are no contaminants, so this leads me to believe its a lockout, what can cause this ? 2 things = A) Too Much Nutrient Potassium or B) ph is too low - SO to rectify this, i have added more water to the reservoir and raised the ph to 6.3 As i am using more water in the reservoir its entirely possible that when the water goes down,even though the EC stays the same the proportional concentrations of each nutrient can change - for example EC pen says 2.0 when i first fill with 20 litres, the plant drinks 4 litres of water and consumes lots of bloom A+B so when i put my pen in two days later the 16 litres of solution still reads 2.0 but there is a higher proportion of PK. Of course it could always be option C) these plants eat phosphorus for breakfast and need more ..😜 I have checked roots they all ok Wednesday- changed solution , made it slightly weaker EC 1.7 ph 6.2-3 Thursday I had a little chat on Instagram with mammoth , i think they might need less than usual Saturday - noticed some yellowing on the little plant , it’s a confusing as th3 other plants are all using the same nutrients and they are loving life , it might be the buckets , I am much preferring the size of the 35 litre ones , and the root structure is perfect , because the 45 litre boxes are more rectangular than square the roots are sort of sideways . Still waiting for some purple on the tall one 🤔 ITS VERY IMPORTANT IN DWC - Do not automatically think you need to add nutrients , in DWC it’s so much more efficient that less is more , 99% of the time it’s overdone it , normally the tips go brown first , but it’s some circumstance s The concentration can increase without you knowing , FIRST change solution with a little bit less , I usually go to 1.6-1.7 EC TOTAL and 6.3 ph that is a universal solution that provides enough without overdoing it .

hello my guess is, it seems as the plant suffered from abundance of nutrients lately.that's why leaves turn out like this I think.Same happened to me a couple of times before right after switch to flower when I watered them with insufficient amounts of water,they couldn't absorb the excess nutes and this occured.I don't know how things work in dwc system but there might be something close to this.looking like phosphorus problem but again I think it is because of excess nutrients.cheers

hey, I got 2 SF1000's in my 4x4x6 wiht 2 plants, I also got the discolouration on my seedling, you said it is because of "neem" is that slang for light burn, thats what i diagnosed mine as. I hung them only about 16" from the canopy to start without dim, now they are back to about 25".... I'll def be following along to see how that beast performs, GOOD LUCK

@Troy_McClure, Neem is Neem oil. Its very potent and stinks. People use it for pest control. Imo it should never be sprayed on leaves. I would never use it at all actually as your plants will taste like what they eat.

Following this one! Just ordered myself some Purple Lemonade! Not DWC setup like yours though! Looks like this will be another successful one for you! What’s the light like? What tent size you put it in too? I ask as looking at quantum boards to replace the Mars TS bits I have. Good luck 👌👍🙂💨
BigDaddyK

@Gardener_of_Goodness,bit early to say , I’m hoping it will cover the light spectrum , when it’s flowered we can see 👍

I get this same issue sometimes since I started using led. If I keep the lights higher then it happens less. Do you think that is a possibility?
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyK
@Wicked_Stix,I can only think it’s pheno related , you learn as you go along , even tho it’s burnt the buds look lovely , I’m battling the thrips as well 🤔
Wicked_Stix

@BigDaddyK, mine have done the same. I can have a perfect plant next to one getting the damage. And all my plants run off the same reservoir. Definitely weird whatever it is
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyK
@Wicked_Stix,no as I m sure it’s a nutrient issue one of my plants right next to it and nothing happened, I’m wondering if leaf spraying a little water might help

As for thecrispy brown leaves, time to go..

@BigDaddyK, probably necrosing to find nitrogen to build buds due to solution nutrients being locked out...either way you'll end up having to remove them 👍👈

@dwchc,I think they are taking the excess calcium

Do you contribute fast growth because of the Spider Farmer light or the hydro setup? I'm using the SF 4000 and super happy this the results so far. Happy growing🤙
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyK
@ChiefIllini,the growth is pheno type dependant , you can see both were grown under same conditions but one was twice the size and the buds really filled , I love this led, I think the mammoth p also helps

Did you see my top shade leaves on my PL same problem... I fixed it with calcium, seems she could take big doses through whole life I’m looking at trying too get some Herculean Harvest been doing research on requirements late flower after seeing Hawkbos Gelato auto. Health of his plants pre harvest always look spot on. Liquid Calcium Phosphate (Liquid bone meal) is hard product to find for me...

@PharmaZ,I think ro water is the way forward 👍

I’ve been thinking could be to do with the process of mixing the nutrients. Have you thought about the extra levels of P precipitation in the solution caused by Ca. Mix in the MAMOTH P first before anything, I don’t know the directions because never used it. Silicon should always add that first because of the same reason, I’ve added after everything else and made whole res cloudy then fed that cloudy mix to plant they all showed deficiency straight after. Burning and yellowing major!! :( Maybe even alternate with the silicon and MAMOTH P don’t add them in the same feeds to reduce chance of precipitation with Ca. Just a thought for you dude💪✌️

BigDaddyK
@PharmaZ,yes I spoke to mammoth about this 👍
