I hope I am just being overly worried because its my first time growing but I am seeing some less than ideal things in my clones.
Grow Info
Strains: GDP, Blue Dream, and Deadhead OG (clones purchased from local clinic)
Grow Area: Grow tent 36''x20''x60
Temperature: High 75 Low 68
Humidity: 40-60%
Light: T5 2' 4 tube
Tap Water: 150-160 ppm 8.0-8.2ph
All clones were purchased on 3/13 and came in RW cubes. 2 bluedream, 1 GDP, 2 Deadhead OG immediately transplanted into 2 liter pots with a small layer of hydroton at the bottom and a 75/25 Coco/Perlite mix. Clones were fully rooted in the RW when put into the coco pots and fed with 5.8 water. I have noticed slow growth and some off coloring and the GDP's new leaves are twisting.
They became very droopy after the first few days and I did some research and found that I did not flush the coco before putting the clones in. Tested the runnoff PPM at 800 on a .5 scale and ph was almost 7 resulting in this.
I flushed all plants until runoff was of equal PPM as my tap and then flushed again with PH 5.8 water until runoff was 6.0-6.1, It seemed to stop at 6.0 and did not drop any further after continued flushing. I then fed them with a light nute solution about 300 ppm 150 nutes and 150 from the tap. The plants do look perkier but the leaf twisting on the GDP is the same and the coloring looks off on the bluedream and deadhead. I am hand watering the plants.
Deadhead OG:
Almost no growth at all and the most noticeable discoloration.
GDP:
Grand Daddy has show the most growth but it was also the biggest clone that I got ( I don't know the ages of clones when I got them) The tips of the main leaves had burnt tips when I got it but the new growth is twisting is this normal?
Blue Dream:
the smallest of the 5 growth has been next to none and the coloring is the palest.
All of these are to become mothers if it matters and are under 20/4 lighting
Newb Questions!
1. My plants are displaying some kind of deficiency but what kind?
2. Am I expecting my plants to grow too fast? I thought I would see more noticeably growth.
3. Will the existing foliage correct itself or will I need to look at new growth to see if any deficiencies still exist?
4. is my tap water at 150ppm and 8.0 ph too crappy for my plants? ( I drink it straight
)
5. I am adding ~ 7ml of ph down for every 3 gallons of tap increasing my ppm about 10 is this affecting anything?
6. Nute Strength? since I dont know how old the clones are exactly is 150ppm of nutes ok to start with? should I subtract my tap ppm from my nute ppm?
7. Exactly how much nutrient solution do I use when watering? I am watering every other day and now plan to flush every two weeks at least. flushing is pretty self explanitory but im confused on exactly how much nutrient solution to feed them on their normal feedings every other day? is there a formula of nute to use based on the size of the pot or plant for a drain to waste way of watering?
Cant think of anything else at the moment but that should enough to get a diagnosis from some experienced growers.
PLEASE HELP!
