Hydroponic RDWC growing problem

Mismeystarted grow question 7 months ago

Hi ,im using RDWC ,with 10 part GH nutrients , water always at 5.87 pH . Last flowering i used EC at 2.0 level and it was fine , ph stayed at normal level , but now in this flowering it goes down ( this means ec is too high right?) and works well with 1.2 EC, what's the problem?

EC (ions dissolved in water) is related slightly to pH (proton-donators and proton-acceptors dissilved into water) but is not pH. you could have a very high EC and be very basic or acidic. A good soilless/hydro fertilizer should be ph-buffered and resistant to pH drift. The concentration of your fertilizer could be related to VPD. IF the VPD is higher this cycle, that could be why the plant needs a lower concentration. Also, could be genetics related. The key is it is working well? Growth is similar and healthy? then, you are fine. Try using jacks 321 hydro setup. I bet you don't have pH-drift with that product.

Harvest or leave in the sun for a while?My plant got way too little light inside when i tried a 12/12 light rhythm. now it looks like the trichromes are getting milky already even though the buds are tiny. Should I harvest to avoid losing thc or leave them outside in the sun for a while still so they might grow ?

Any input? Small nuggzzzz Moby dick Auto has been slow but steady on the bud growth, way slower than other genetics and this is the only plant from this strain so no comparison. I find the buds quite small, Super frosty, dense and beautiful smell but harvest is getting closer and nuggz aren't fattening up

What to do? → BF Runtz Auto - Day 42 - RH70, 80F in BioBizz Light Soil On my last post, I was advised I have N tox, so I watered w/o BioGrow, just BioBloom and it's gotten much worse. The runoff EC was 1.5 (watered with 0.8, runoff pH was okay), so I’m guessing it's salt buildup. I plan to flush when this watering dries out—any thoughts?

1 out of 3 doesnt do as well as the others Im just wondering why one out of 3 plants, does not perfectly well while the others seem doing awesome. Can it really differ from a strain that it shows signs of light stress or nutrient burn while other plants seem to do well with it? I added 3 pics, 1st one showing the meh one

Normal trichomes or something bad?Dumb question, I started noticing this on my leaves. I recently battled with insane humidity which I was just recently able to fix, and was wondering if this is normal/my usual over worrying or if it's some sort of mold/mildew/fungus or something I should actually worry about.

Identify Issue: Brown Spots, Lower leaves first, from outer-tips Showing up on 2 out of the 5 in my soil bed. Front 2. Transplanted 10 days ago, went well enough. Watering with tap water, never tested but didn't have an issue last run. Same soil, but I did add 8 cu ft of new soil to the top. Gently amended with b6, Kashiblend, coconut powder.
