Thanks mate, she's doing me proud.

Weekly update pic.

She;s showing signs of nute deficiency or nute burn, I'm not sure which.
I went from 2mls per liter to 4mls per liter of growth nutes, maybe that was too much, the maximum is 10mls per liter according to the manufacturer.

See the browned edges? What is this?

Since she's shown these signs when you increased the feed it would be good to assume it was the doubling up of the feed that has caused these problems. If I was you I'd back off on the feed and see what happens. What feed are you using?

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Thanks bigpeter, I'm about to mix up some more nutes so will back off the growth nutes by 1ml per liter.


She will get;
3ml per liter of growth nutes
2ml per liter of calmag
2ml per liter of humic/fulvic acid
1ml per liter of Cyco Zyme
1 scoop of Great White beneficial microbes.
1 teaspoon in 6 liters of molasses

keep an eye on your ph to Frosty

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Thanks KC, ph set to 5.8.

Thanks KC, ph set to 5.8.

Have you read the link in my signature about reservoir tending?

You'll want a full pH swing between 5.4 and 6.0 with DWC. This will allow better absorption by the plant, which means you can use a lower strength of nutes. Cleaner and larger harvest is always good, yeah?

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Thanks Douglas, that is a good thread, next time I will set the ph at 5.4 as it tends to rise over time.

 

[Douglas.Curtis]

I suggest bumping up the feed because they look hungry. Yes, nutes are a natural pH down and when used by the plants the pH will rise.

Thanks KC, ph set to 5.8.

good place to be set at

 

[Douglas.Curtis]

5.8pH? Great starting point for drip, flood or other "Roots-Out" hydro system.

With DWC, your pH should be at this point for a few days before you add nutes back to the full starting ppm/ec. This will put your pH back down to your starting point of 5.4'ish.

This is how DWC works with r/o/<14ppm water and this will allow you to grow the cleanest cannabis with the least nutrients. Anything other than r/o and you'll have to find out what pH changes the extra ppm in your water causes. Some places the pH swing is in reverse.

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Thanks Douglas.


I was mixing nutes last night when the pointed tip of my mixing stick broke a hole through the bottom of the watering can, nutes went everywhere, what a mess. It was an old plastic watering can that had been left out in the sun, luckily I had a spare.

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Just spent a minute tucking all the growing shoots down under the scrog net.


Flipped from 18/6 to 12/12.

lots of information worth a look at maybes

and check out WelderDan he also grows or used to in dwc same as dc above

She's growing fast now, 3 days since light flip and the stretch has started.

 

[KingCobra66]

shes super growing now I tried the link to and it does just that, hangs then I tried it in the web address bar and it works so hope it helps you edited it to aus to

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Thanks KC, I ended up searching with google, next time I need nutes I will look into it but that won't be for a while.

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Weekly update pic, 9 days since light flip, she hasn't shown any flowers yet but the stretch is on.

 

[Pennello5]

Amazing! 10+ excelent work!
