Burned leaves!!!!!! I think it is drinking more water than nutes at this point for obvious reasons, the PH was down to 5.5 and water level down about a gallon and a half, which is half the capacity of the res. (five gal res but three fills it just below netcup.) i topped it off with half-strength nutes, which brought the PH to 6.0.

PICS!! these are from last night, which was day 45 of flower... This pheno likes to go 70 days...

changed the nutes tonight, man its quite something to have to wrestle the monster out of the cab and back in etc....

1. remove monster, put in second empty bucket for safekeeping, set aside.
2. remove existing nute bucket, dump in yard.
3. clean it out, fill to three gallon mark, add nutes, additives (inc sugar for the SubCulture), then adjust PH.
4. re-wrestle the monster back into place hopefully without breaking any branches.

5. smoke bowl of nice indica

I also love my GH FloraNova nutes... very nice, im just getting used to the fact that my plant drinks more water than nutes, and i have to top up with straight water not with nutes. still learning!!

i dont have a ppm meter and i over ferted by not compensating for the same thing, i think i caught it in time...i think, its only really affectinf the larger fan leaves and only really on one plant

Yah, hopefully for me too! I think it did slow growth a bit, but it looks like it has recovered. I LOVE that you can just CHANGE NUTES and basically start over fresh whenever necessary. I aint NEVER going back to soil! EXCEPT possibly for a keeper mom...

i killed most of my soil plants when i shut down operations in my rubbermaids, i also killed another 3 that were infested with fungus gnats in my pc case, so i only have one left that i keep in the pc and i just keep topping the shit out of it.


i could care less about destroying those other ones but if see one thing out of order with my DWC im in there until its identified and on its way to being fixed

 

[thescissors]

DOH! As soon as i speak up, PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!

Plant was all wilted this morning, im thinking the PH was way off combined with possible res temp problems. (it has heated up here lately). well, i changed the nutes and am hoping that by the time the light comes back on tonight everything will be OK.... i should call myself BLACKTHUMB!! ;(

 

[Guest]

i hope they perk up for ya

i hope so too! just a few more hours... i put the PH a little low, i hope that wasnt a mistake. im going to get some hardcore powdered PH-down, not this liquid citric acid chite... j

 

[Guest]

a friend of mine who uses powdered ph up and down actually said to me that its a pain in the ass to do minor tweaks and adjustments with the powder as opposed to the liquids...just a thought

plant is still wilted! i still dont know what i did wrong, but it appears this is a total loss. what a waste!

 

[Guest]

so nothing at all has worked in reversing this problem you have??

nope! i wonder if my fan timer got messed up somehow, letting temps peak too high... seems fine tho.......

 

[Guest]

mine are getting worse also...i think it might be ph issues, hopefully we get this mess worked.

 

[thescissors]

I think i have to conclude that I must have messed up the blower timer, allowing temps to get too high in the box. i killed, trimmed and hung what was there, which wasnt much. will probably be really racy too. dammit! i suck!

 

[Guest]

its all good man, fire it up again
