(vermiculite, perlite, worm castings...) unknown soil(tried to get basic empty soil) + perlite + peat moss .8) Size of container. 5g bucket .9) Did you use peat pucks (or similar) to root clones or germinate seedlings? bought clones Your nutrients and water: 10) Source of water? (tap, bottled or filtered) What's it's ph before adjusting Filtered ----- distilled or r/o 11) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen, test strips, aquarium test kit...) ph pen 12) Method of adjusting water ph. (phosphoric acid, white vinegar, hydrated lime, PH Up...) none havent 13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. Im using Roots organics budda grow at mature veg dosage 30ml with great white and b-52 5ml and super thrive 1ml 14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? 2days 15) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag, molasses, Mother's Earth...) super thrive 16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate? stable 6.8 - 7.0 17) What is your ingoing water's ph? 7 ...your runoff ph? N/A 18) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray? Every 4 hours or so depending on how often im home Just water Your growroom: 19) Indoors or outdoors? indoor 20) What size of closet, room or hut? 8 foot by 6 foot closet 21) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off? less than 30 humid, 28 -31 max 22) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom? no (previous fly problem solved by "concern" garden defense all purpose) Your strain: 23) What strain are you growing? (Indica dominate or Sativa dom?) 3 Different 1 La confidential two of clone of a Bubba and a third i cant remember 24) From seeds or clones? clones 25) Is this an autoflower strain? no watering i do believe was done until dripping every 2 days with every other nutrient feed being just water (with R/o water) using a dual wand measure my ph level says at around 6.7 - 6.9 max temperature is around 90 the low is 74
Thats a very Sativa dom plant. They are a bit finniky. Your min temp should be your max temp (too hot). Your Ph should be in the range of 6.3 - 6.8 Freak
defand? so if i lower the temperatures the plants should get better? When i tried adding a half dosage of epsom salt this started happening even worse (most of those leaves have been trimmed)
I think everyones drunk around GC today lol. I think he meant Cal-Mag def (deficiency). But its not. Freak
sweet i agree with that ive just been trying to pay bills hoping i could afford some ph down. im trying to solve the ventilation problem to reduce the temperature (id hate to have to turn some lights off). (2 fans + exhaust isnt enough) should i switch to an 18 hour cycle rather than a 24 is the K and MAG being locked out by the temperature or the ph? or do i need more?(never goes above 6.9ph)
Im positive once that temp is brought down to about 75 and the Ph is lowered, that plant will quickly show improvement. Freak
ok im pretty sure ive solved most of my ventilation issues (lower temps) however i bought "ph down". im not quite sure how to drop the ph of my 5g buckets down enough without going down TO much.. Do you have any tips? Ive looks for ph guides but -.- I'm burned out on reading now
Update ventilation system keeps it very cool just making sure it wont freeze out the plants posted new pictures havent bought a ph meter yet and im having a little bit of problems with adjusting it to go lower is my watering cycle good two nutrient then a flush or should i go 1 nutrient, 1 flush
ok these plants are running under around (27) 23watt cfl im running buddagrow with cal mag b 52 and super thrive with r/o water 73/81 temps with 30% humidity i have a humidifier in the room to keep the humidity that high(yes it gets lower) (probably due to the small ac unit) the runoff ph was just recently lowered(from much higher) to around 6.2-6.7 on the 4 plants
