My one and only waterfarm plant started to claw and wondered your thoughts about it.I know things happen more quickly with hydro and I noticed this a few days ago.There are a few areas that seem to be ok still but most of the plant seems to be affected.
I use the lucas formula 8/16 with 1ml rapid start and subculture b.PH is mostly 5.5-5.8 but every 3-4 days I change out bottom bucket and fresh nutes.Bucket holds 2 gallons and she now drinks about a 1/2 gal a day.I use 1/2 rain (15ppm) and 1/2 tap (200 ppm) when mixing up fresh nutes and top of daily with rain.My PPM's usually start around 750 and end in the 400's by day 4.(read ppm meter issue below)
The only thing new is 2 weeks ago when I put her into flower I started adding liquid koolbloom @ 2.5 ml per gal which put my ppm's around 850.
Air Temps range from 66-77 now humidity 30-37% and under 1000w..........this may be an issue.She finally stopped stretching but about 20" from the light.When I put the back of my hand there its warm but not to bad.I do have good air movement though.Res temps 62*-65*
***PPM Meter***
This is my second cheapo 15 dollor pos.The first one seemed to read 1200's if I remember on a fresh batch but i use the same calibration fluid and they both were calibrated.wierd shit so im not really sure which was right.
Last night I did a flush just to be safe.Not sure if im doing them right,plain water (my case rain) ph'd to 5.5 and every 30 minutes change to fresh water until the ppm's stop rising (in my case from 150's-15ppm) which took about 5 buckets changes and about 10 gallons over a cpl hours.Then I made a fresh batch and prayed.
I do have to add some ph down every cpl hours after a fresh res change as it rises,but generally after 5 or 6 drops it chills in the zone.
The forming buds and tiny leafs within them seem to be ok for now.
THX!
