  1. My plants are not doing so well after yesterdays nutrient change. It dropped from 850 PPM to 780 PPM and went from a 5.9 ph to a 6.3 ph. I think I'm going to mix a new solution today at around 1000 PPM or so and see how it does. The leaves are yellowing and curling at the top as you can see in the pictures. I assume this is due to my nutrient change? Any input?

  2. Did they start that after you changed your rez?
     
  3. Yes. They were doing great before and 1 day after the rez change and that's what they look like
     
  4. I would start there. Give a fresh change and see how they respond. What ya using for nutes?
     
  5.  
    General hydroponics 3-part. Working on the reservoir change as we speak. Thanks for all the help by the way!
     
  6. No prob. Gh 3 part is old faithful. Should do well for ya
     
  7. I did a nutrient change. I had it set at 1000 PPM and 5.9 PH. After changing it out I realized I need to add more water, so I added more, but had to leave right away so I couldn't check on it. When I came back the next day the plants were looking great. It was not at 510 PPM. I added a little more and it is now at 595 PPM and 6.1 PH. [SIZE=14.6666669845581px]I added a foot to the height of the tent as well and heat does not seem to be an issue for the time being[/SIZE]
     
    Unfortunately because I was using 1000w total for a few days a couple plants didn't get as much light and are growing a little slower. I figure I'll flip to flower when the larger ones are ready and have a reduced yield on the smaller ones. 
     
    Any advice on  training this scrog? There are HUGE fan leaves at the top that make it harder to train the plant. When should I start trimming below the canopy?

  8. Once you've got a solid screen, I'd say your ready to clean up underneath. Overall things look good! It's crazy how distinctive blue dream is. Looks like a pure sativa. Now that your nutes are at a higher level, your growth rate is gonna take off. My last run peaked at three in per 24 hrs. Something to consider with height restrictions.

  10. I accidentally suppercropped twice while defoliating. I duct taped them, but one of them may not make it :(
     
  11. Everything looks great! I want to grow BD really bad but I think know RQS Lemon Haze will be first. Have you considered using the lucas formula for your nutes?

  12. Looking great kesaber. Your setup is super clean. I just popped a 818 I picked up 10 regs at the Denver Cannabis Cup in April. Your a bit ahead of me so I'll be following along.
     
  13. Hey kesaber... How's that Blue Dream going?
     
  14. I ran the 818 a few years ago .. Pretty from the get go. Very fun to grow. Three different phenos out of a 10 pack. Ggood luck cannabartist
