Widows stay yellow

[Guest]

dude my shit crystals up sitting room temperature in a cabinet...your saying these thing have been through seasons outside...and there fine?

 

[Mibri]

hehe no there were some crystals i shaked away. It says on the bottle that crystals appear and should be shaken away. I have really no idea weather they're fine or not, but the Jack Herer seem to take it better. Some of them had some full strength allready

then definately the ferts man ...your just not finding the right dosage there
& pH control ... this is your first time growing & + hydro ?

i dont know to many newbies , that get hydro the first time , you probably should have started with soil & used 1 plant to grow hydro ..until you got the hang of things

think of it as learning how to ride a bike ...you start off with training wheels , then you get the balance & the training wheels come off ...but hydro is a motor cycle man ...anyways you will learn ;o)

I've been growing outside in dirt for 15 years. I'll get some new ferts also. I use to feed with chicken shit and worm casting (from own farm both) and have worked very well with nice and biig plants. This is just different but even more fun. It's just more consequent when making mistakes, no buffer here.

I think i've might found out what the problem with the plants has been. The rez temp has always been about 15c or so. As i can understand this can cause a lockout, is this correct? I'm getting an aquarium heater tomorrow, so next question. If the water is heated to about 25c, would it be okay for the room to be colder? Like 18 c or so?

 

[Mibri]

Would an aquarium heater be the solution to my White Widows, that haven't grown for many days now. I'm getting frustrated

Hi Guys. After going back to half strength ferts, and giving them warmer water, the plants show sign of healing imediately.
I talked to GH, who said, that when talking about the chemical nutes, unless there is an inch of downfall (thicker stuff) in the bottom the nutes they will be as good as new even if severel years old. (he made my 3 year old sound like nothing) , so that was nice to know.

Keep the water at 68f (20c). You room should be +68f (20c)

That i'll do imediately. Tx dude. Will be even more easy. Room is allready 20c. I'll put the rez on some styrofoam to isolate from concrete floor, and little heating should be necessary from the heater.
Thanks again, m8. I hope ICMAG pay you something for all your time spend here. Definately a nice thing.

 

[Mibri]

Geee, i just can't believe this was my stupid problem, man...

 

[sproutco]

Try to get the room a little warmer than 20 c. You will see deficiencies when temperature get too cold mainly from water becoming more sticky/thicker. Viscosity gets higher.

 

[Mibri]

Okay, i'll beam it up a couple of degrees. Tx again
