Well its been a few weeks si ce my last update because I ran into some serious issues. First, the leaves just kept looking spotted, then I noticed I had aphids in my tent. WTF!!! I started to combat the aphids with The Amazing Dr. Zymes and a few lady bugs. I also used aphid control sticky strips to monitor. I think I finally have it under control. I pulled o e of my gelatos because it just wasn't flowering and I was trying to save the other plants. So, when I went to apply my first round of Dr Zymes I wanted to wait until the lights went out. So to my surprise, they never went out! WTF!!! Come to find out my timer contact was stuck on. Double whammy, aphids and plants under light 24-7 for who knows how long. Things are just now starting to look better but I'm running out of time. I'm sure yields will be affected. Oh well, live and learn.
I see you did everything good, i just think your PH-pen is broke. I see calmag lockout while u still give correct amounts. Better to use the PH liquid drops, i started using this since i had the same problems. Cant trust a ph pen
Dude, are you sure your problems are being caused by ph fluctuations ? What about root rot? Are roots looking thin and fragile? I'm running my first RDWC and I'm having problems with root rot. Leaf symptons from my plants look very similar to yours.
@August_West, yeah, I believe hydroguard will solve your issue. I also ordered it, but I don't live in the US and shipping has been a pain in the a.....in the meanwhile, I submerged roots under H2O2 @ 3% for an hour, painted reservoirs (they were kinda translucid), and added a new air pump, as the one I had was unsufficient for my setup. Water temp was fine. After that healthy new roots started growing from old ones and plants are growing nicely. Looks like in your case hydroguard will be sufficient. Hope your plants recover. Happy grow !!
I'm starting to think that because my ph has been just fine lately. Not sure why though, never had this problem before. I've ordered some hydroguard and am going to try it. Been thinking about adding Armor Si to my nutrient mix but that kind of sounds like a pain with having to add an hour before the other nutes. My roots look fine so not sure. Hopefully I figure it out and will help you too.
