As you can see he have a problem with the leaves curing up like that , they are being watered from the bathroom shower water , its probably hard water , when he left something to dry up there it has left a lot of salts , it is being watered very good , then left to try (a bit too dry maybe) and then watered again . he will try and water them everyday just a little because he noticed its not good for them . but what is his problem here ?he is sorry about the picture quality

the edges of the leaves curl up thats over watering. get a cope and look under the leaves for Aphids

i googled it and they can cause the leaves to do that.

Check your run off. Could be low ph.. Happend to me once and the leaves curled like that..
Also are you feeding calmag?

 

[Daggy]

Chill with the aphids. Dig a couple inches into your dirt and you should be able to see them moving.

So i am taking water from the bathroom shower , how should i be able to level the ph ?

If you aren't ph'ing it, then I am assuming you aren't adding nutes either?

Go buy a ph test kit.

And if you are using tap water, I would highly suggest letting it sit out for 24 hours to let the chlorine evaporate before you give it to your girls.

Weed isn't hard to grow by any means, but it's a little more than dirt in a bucket and tap water, also.

I will start adding nutes today , small amounts , maybe it will sort it out . and im going to try and get a PH test kit today. i will dig into the soil and see if there are any aphids , i sure hope not.

 

[TheYokel]

Quit worrying about bugs before you worry about your water.

And get the ph kit before the nutes, not the other way around. If you only have money for one, get the ph kit.

How close is the light to the plants?

 

[GoldCore]

Every 9 plants have 2x 400W HPS projectors set on top of them 30 CM or so the thing is not all leaves are curly , i noticed some are . i will take better pictures today

 

[TheYokel]

It's your water... not the lights...

 

[GoldCore]

yeah i think so too . its not bugs or lights , i think its water too . i have no idea how to sort it out . ill post later after i get the PH test kit

 

[TheYokel]

Easiest way to sort it out is to use RO water, that way you know you are starting 100% clean. Especially if you said that your shower head and faucets get calcium and salt deposits on them. That's all going straight into your roots.

If your sure its the water you could test the theory by filling a couple of jugs at the grocery store and feeding half the plants that stuff. Then youd know for sure if they come around. Is there a water softener on your line?

i wll need 24 liters every 1-2 todays.. lucky there are 12 L bottles here , but that's a hassle i think..

Thats the only way youll know for sure. We can all tell you whatever you want to hear and your bound to believe someone but plants dont have a dipstick to read so you should test the theory before you spend three hundred bucks on an RO unit. Just my 2cents.

I like ninja's idea... start giving one plant some store bought RO water that has been properly ph'd and see if it start looking different than the rest. You'll know within a couple days.

I live in the middle of the Mojave and have to buy my water. I buy the 5 gallon jugs from Home Depot for $4.99 a piece. Never thought about installing a unit... might save me some money over a year or two...

Maybe a week, but whats your harvest worth? Mines worth a couple trips to the store
