20 days huh? that does seem a little long but nothing to worry about yet. give them another 5-7 days before you start worrying. i wonder what the issue was. how did those plants work out for you that were late in showing sex? i remember you were worried about those?
i wasnt giving then enough nutes as soon as i upped it to 600ppm plus they started flowering. only problem is they got why too big. i know what i did wrong with the ez cloner but it couldnt really be avoided. i had 40 blubonic clones in there for a couple weeks without changing the water and for certain reasons i couldnt take the clones out yet to clean the system. so then i took a bunch of clones from secret recipe's in early flower while i find my mom and i couldnt clean the system before i put them in so there could of been alot of pathogens and bacteria and stuff in there which isnt good. a couple days ago i changed the water which is better but i still havent been able to clean it. i wish i just spent the money on some botanicare powerclone liquid from day 1 that shits amazing. its probably too late now since i got the RE in there. do you know of anything else i can add to the ez cloner to increase my chances of roots?
keeping the reservoir at 62-65 degrees will help a lot to avoid algae, slime, and other reservoir problems. beneficial bacteria and fungi will help a lot too. products like voodoo juice, great white, etc... are great for this.
i got some oregonism xl should i add that even though i got roots excel in there? i figured RE might have some of the same shit
its voodoo, parahna, and tarantula in one, is that overkill? damn i totally forgot about my fuckin water chiller, im cleaning it as we speak. i should of been using it from day one knowing i cant clean the system for a while. fuck it better late that never even though its already day 20 lol
sounds like a pretty cool product. i'll check it out online and seee what it's all about.
scooby ive been thinking about this comment you posted and i just noticed on a couple of my plants that some of the bottom fan leaves are turning brownish and falling off. the only thing is its hard to figure out if the bottom leaves arent getting enough light or i gotta raise the nutes up i got some tall monsters. is there a certain ppm where i know 100% that the plants are getting enough nutes? werent you giving your plants 1700 ppm of connoisseur a little while ago? i just noticed that since my res is kind of depleted my ppm is at 1300 ppm. im gonna slowly raise the nutes up but it would be good to know a limit i should never go over. this strain is no joke it can take alot of nutes.
Ya his Nuglets account got banned because he was trolling Potpimp. Phil/Nug/Scooby or whoever he is today is just a sad kid with a wild imagination trolling from his moms basement........
hey tree, i've run plants as high as 1800ppm and some as low as 1000ppm (500:1). It just all depends on the strain. I would think though that anything over 1000ppm and your plants are getting enough nutrients. maybe 1200ppm for you (i think i remember you using a 700:1 scale). i know lots of guys who grow great plants running a steady ppm all the way through flower. usually around 1000ppm. some guys do it so they don't have to run multiple reservoirs in a perpetual hydro grow.
Then Mommy has one hell of a basemen,t not to mention her lovely disposition towards MMJ.
LOL...he's just mad cause i proved him wrong about something like 6 months ago and he's still butthurt about it. he's been following me around ever since. he doesn't even grow. just one of those guys who gets jealous and hates on anyone who has accomplished something with their lives.
that makes alot of sense. it gotta be just the bottom leaves arent getting enough light as i got plants over 4ft tall. im even on the 500 scale too and my ppm goes up as my res gets depleted. looks like homebrewer was wrong again saying that theres no need to ever go above 1.2 ec. not surprised he's wrong about alot a shit thanks once again scooby
so if your ppm is going up as the reservoir is getting depleted then that means your plants aren't using all of the nutrients and you can probably back off them. if they are real tall (4'+) then those bottom leaves will almost always yellow and die. especially in mid to late flower. the plant is concentrating on on bud production and lower branches will not get sufficient light to process nutrients. that's why i lollipop my plants.
yup the ppm was going up. talk to you later scooby thanks
