Again, the plant was showing od leaf colors and signs of imbalance, the PPM reader was draining batteries over night and I spent about a week waiting for a new one and using drops to measure PH and a different ppm meter.
The smell was practically ZERO, I turned off the extractor to see if it was me, and ask my girlfriend to smell, no smell at all, I was also starting to realize there had to be a problem in the medium and this was a recycled medium from the last crop. * it stopped smelling due to me fucking up the medium with excess CA. They also seemed to be delaying flowering. input PPMs where 700 using tap water and output was way above.
I started irrigating like crazy to clean up the excess salts and I started using water from the AC runoff instead of tapwater and compensating with a lot more AB, the runoff started to go down, in plant A ( the one in the white pot, as low as 250ppms, even if I fed 700, the plant number 2 never went below 300, and I was feeding them 6L each one at day, every hour or so ( 2L every couple of hours ), and the water kept coming out very low for about 1 week. Then it started to go up again and stabilized in the 900s. I have been keeping it like that since then. except it started reuiren less and less frquent watering.
The PH of the runoff was also very high, 6.8 and I had some leaf clorosis.
Both stimulants are local alternatives I found in the agricultural store. Algae, Free aminos, Chelated NPK, etc. Fulvic + Humic + liquid worm tea.
I read somewhere it could be a zinc def, and I had been adding PK in low dosis, so I added a bit of a 3rd party flowering P rich nute as foliar along with Neem oil for the spidermites and a little bit mollases + worm tea to make it more acidic, 2 days after, they started smelling like something, not weed bt something else than grass.
