Hi I think your nutes are too low , and I have never used those , ph needs to be at 6 -6.5 and at week 5 I'm putting at least 1000 ppm in , in my experience nutrients control most of the issues but canna are the easiest and maybe advanced nutrients the biggest yielding ( most expensive and complicated) Just looking at he plants I'd say your rootball isn't very big ( needs more oxygen ) as the bigger the roots the wider the plants - I made so many fuckups in the past and I even grew a 42 ounce monster outside only for it to go mouldy and taste like shit do to over nutrition 😂 It's all a learning curve even now I have an issue with a new seed I'm trying - my advice buy some gorilla glue fast buds - I m pumping 420 litres an hr of air through each of mine but above all don't get disheartened- it's all a learning game 😊

@BigDaddyK, its the Platinum P900, PAR equivalent to 1000w HID, around 500w draw from the wall...

BigDaddyKcommented8 years ago

@kunkgrow, you have a 1000 watt led ? What is it I'll have a look , if I was running a 1000watt hid I would have them 4 feet away when they little - but I would expect them to be able to take it up to 2 feet away by 5 weeks , seed quality might be an issue - auto s seem to be very temperamental, every now and again I get funny ones but I really only use fast buds , I have heard good things about Dinafem and mephisto so I'll probably try a few of theirs , are all the plants using the same reservoir ?

@BigDaddyK, thanks for the input! I'm going to bump it up on the next rez change. I think my LED is too powerful, I raised the light to 1,5m and they seemed to react positively.

@CurrentCulture420Grown, Thanksss!!! I'm new at this hydro thing, lots of issues on my first run. next updated coming later tonight.

kunkgrowcommentedweek 38 years ago

Guys, need some help. Check out recent pics, this is day 19 . Some leafs are showing issues. Light stress or nute burn? I am running 250ppm with 5.8ph stable RO water. 1ml/gallon 3 parth GH nutes (40 gallon system)

@HomegrownGenetics, thanks again! shouldn't there be more roots at this time? This is my first hydro run so everything is new!! learning day by day!

HomegrownGeneticscommented8 years ago

@kunkgrow, Hmmm that distance and temperature is perfect, and your roots look healthy so I wouldn't stress over the discoloration. Maybe consider removing those damaged fan leaves and allow the new healthy growth on the internodes take them over. (Unplanned defoliation?) Otherwise your parameters are dialed in like you said.

Nice time lapse !! 🎬

kunkgrowcommentedweek 18 years ago

Well it has been 6 days since they break out , I am noticing a heavy stunted growth. Clearly they are suffering from something I am not getting track of. Anyone care to shine in some thoughts?

Laksscommented8 years ago

@kunkgrow, calmag defi or nutes way to strong. Current culture advices half strenght if you are not using uc nutrients/ your roots look horrible. Should be white and plenty. Good roots good plants.

Almost Week 7 update. Explosive growth. Few mag issues apparently but they're rocking. The roots are not as massive as I've seen around on DWC but compared to where they were only a week ago, great improvement. One of them looks like its clawing and not digging the higher EC, this is the problem of central rez hydro when growing from seed, some phenos can take more feeding than others.

kunkgrowcommentedweek 48 years ago

I'm looking into using some of the parts from my rDWC, taking it apart and going Ebb and Flow for the next run. It seems simpler and more fail proof. Anyway, I won't abandon ship, lets sail through this til the end!

kunkgrowcommentedweek 38 years ago

I'm having an issue with my top-off reservoir. When I fill it up with 0ppm RO water, the next day the water is cloudy. I've got a pump in there to stir the water, I'm not sure what is wrong. Today I've put loads of bleach, 35% h2o2 and will let it run for a couple hours, then sterilize, clean and try to fill it up again. In case I can't maintain it long enough until next fill up I will leave it empty and only fill up as needed so I don't waste my filters.
