Hello all.....new to this forum but not new to the culture. I need some ideas on what may be going on.
Here's my set-up.
(3) aeroponic systems made from (3) 25 gal tupperware containers. Each container has (1) 250gph pump w/ 5 sprayheads and 2 large airstones (each connected to a different air pump for redundancy).
1400w of HPS over all 3. After sexing ( I don't grow w/clones) I usually end up with about 6-8 plants and a harvest approx 10-12 oz of primo bud. The plants look wonderful but I'm a perfectionist and believe I can make it better.
I'm using BGH 3 part, hygrozyme, and epsom salts.
NO co2 generation.
Generally keep ph around 5.5. I've read that 5.8 would be good for hydroponic and 5.2 is better for aeroponic. Any ideas here?
Growing 3 types: Aroura Indica, Bubblegum, and Chrystal. All mostly indica variety.
Questions:
Everything I read tells me my plants should be able to handle around 1000ppm although over 750 usually shows nutrient burn. Have any idea what the problem is, or if there is a problem?
Plants show excessive stretch when set in flowering. They probably gain almost 4 feet. I grow under 1400w of MH for 2 weeks (about an 8"plant) then drop to 12.5 hrs with HPS. They stretch so much it is causing problems.
Lastly, although the leaves are beautiful some of them have a slight curl (at the edges) upward. Is this too little Epsom salts?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
