Hi!
Your growing in hydro so it was good choice to add nutes 'cos water itself don't have basically anything. Do you have an EC meter? That is pretty important in hydro grows 'cos it is the only tool to determine the strenght of the solution for real. At this point you should have something like 0.7-1.2 Ec and later on raise it gradually to maybe 1.2-2.0 Ec and remember to maintain optimal pH too!
Plants are growing nicely but have some early signs of under watering (possibly), e.g. curling leaves, wilting leaves, slightly burnt tips, also Topped plants this week and increased nutrient dose by 1/4.
Hello. I water 3 times in 12 hours. My lights come on at 7:30 a.m. and off at 8:00 p.m. I water at 8:00 a.m. !2:00 p.m. and 5 p.m. for a half an hour each time. After the 5:00p.m. feeding it's 2 and a half hours draining time before the lights go off. Please don't give water just before lights out. Good Luck. Chuck.
I have a problem that i would like to address asap.the other day i broke some of the root system on one and not sure which it was can this cause tip burning. I also added nutrients 1ml/1L and topped the plants and have not flushed for 3 or so weeks is this too long?
Do you regularly get a ~20% runoff? if so, should be fine or at least can merely adjust formula slightly to fix what you see... if much less runoff each time, may need to dilute substrate a bit with a flush or possibly just reduce fertilization a bit -- frequency or concentration.
That could be lockout too. Use a web ppm calculator to help eliminate possibilities.. i don't know if my spreadsheet works for liquid nutes, but you could try that too. it is linked in my main GD profile in the comments section. Regardless, make sure it accounts for specific gravity if your lables are listed in w/v values. (or is it w/w? lol the instructions in spreadsheet mention this.. w/v makes more sense since the volumes mass changes with what is dissolved in it.) otherwise, it'll be off by large proportions
can't give a specific answer to this as too many variables ar eneeded... consider recent behaviour, do a little math... apply some deductive reasoning and go with the best possible course of action. pH is another thing to check before any drastic measures are taken... try to take a conservative path, if possible. easy to add something later, tougher to take it out, if wrong.
I defoliated the 2 top fan leaves off each plant they were too big and covering too much of the new shoots wass this a mistake or is there a better alternative like tucking or something?
Hi, i am just wondering how to clean out my resorvoir of salt proper for a fresh mix of nutes do i empty it then fill it with fresh water run it through the lines for a few hours then replace the water again every 2 or 3 weeks?
Overall growing is going nicely, did have a bit of leaking problem with the aircon so i will have to figure that out but all is well. Happy with the overall grow.
Week 6 day 6 I have super cropped a couple of thicker stems and I cracked all the hollows of the stems but one has split on the sides and is brown under the kink in the stem will this be ok or should i support the stem back upward?
They are going so well and they have very thick and healthy stems, couldn't be happier the only problem I am having is they are getting too big for the space I have for them but that is not a bad thing as I will be moving them outdoors for the remainder of the grow!
