This week has not been great for me and the ladies. Started off with upgrading my space, 3 4x8 gorilla tents to handle 2 1000watt HIDs per tent. The weather in my local area hit about 95-100 degrees recently, cooling didnt go to plan as well plan but is under control. All the tents did hit a max temp of 92, but I am running co2, about 1500ppm in each tent. I am aware of the heat stress. Ive delt with fugus before and ended up tossing all plants. Very upsetting and a huge set back. I will try and list all nutes and mediums.

Oxygen Pot system
ProMix HP
3..45 gal rezivors ph to 6.0
Liquid nutes. Botanicare. All half dose of each.
Bloom Pure Blend.
Cal/mag.
Liquid karma
Hydroguard as needed.

All plants sprayed with Serenade antifungal.20160710_131134.jpg 20160710_131154.jpg

Plants are abiut 1month 1week old. About to start 12/12. Here are a few pictures. I will take more photos and fill in the blanks whrerr I missed info.

Looks like a potassium lockout, probably due to an excess of unneeded calcium.

Why people pour cal mag on their plants as a matter of course is beyond me.

Don't start 12/12 until it's unfucked!

Are you sticking to your bottled nutrient feeding schedule?
Promix hp has some buffers in it but most people say to run hydro ph

The whole grow was bugged bombed 3 times before the start. and I do spray regularly with Neem, Azamax, and Sns 209. more mites?!
Non of that stuff kills rust mites. Moths bring in these micromites. Moths like to take naps on your foliage. Pyrithren bombs kill em. Scope 1st tho

It's strange how the damage is mainly concentrated on the leaf margins and tips, not saying it isn't russet mites, but the pattern of damage is suspicious and they are doing a very good job of mimicking a potassium problem.

I did used pyrithren bombs. I try to minimize all outside contaminants when I enter the grow space. I have a change of shoes and clothes for when i enter. Everything cleaned regularly. I have never seen moths or nats or any flying pest in the grow space. But I will scope and see what i can find.

It is becoming extremely annoying and stressful. I will scope for any mites, again...
