Justforme11, When my plants would drink a lot of nutes/water the PH would drop real fast. That could be one possibility, another could be a problem with your roots. Have you checked them to see if there is any root slime or root rot?

I have been using Heisenberg's tea... 1/2 a cup every three days and water changes weekly. My discharge water has always been clean. I did a Scrog on her and like an idiot, I'd did not remove the screen when I I let her go. By the time I realized my error, it was too late. I could not get the screen off... Meaning, I have not been able to open the bucket and clean the res. I over nuted her too. I took bad advice on nute ppm. I had her at 1,100 ppm for 4 weeks,before I realized that was for dirt. So, she has had me as her biggest problem. But, ph going down has never been a problem, until recently.

Now I am kind of lost. She is only about a week away from harvest. Her colas still look great. The fan leaves are all dying... What should I do?

I too just recently got into DWC. I did soil and a few hydro grows the last 10 years so this is sort of new to me too. I know your ppm's can effect your PH. When you lowered your ppm's what happen with the PH? Did it stay the same or continue to drop? You mentioned you are using the tea, is this as a precaution or are you using it because you had root problems? You may have a bunch of dead roots built up in there if you haven't been able to look into the bucket. The good news is you are almost done so I wouldn't stress out too much here. Here are two things i would do for now. 1 copy everything you have said in this thread and start your own thread in the DWC/Bubbpleponics section. You will get a lot more responses in the main area as opposed to this one thread. 2. Keep an eye on those leaves that are dying, especially at the base of them where they meet the stem. They can quickly turn into bud rot and you will have a whole other issue on your hands.

Yea so close to harvest u could easily just run straight water as well. Its prolly a root problem tho if ur fans are all falling off. Like said good thing u are close to finish.
If its a root problem most likely your nuggs will begin to die shortly after your leafs start falling off?

Well here are a few pics of my legal Colorado RDWC grow. Maui Wowi and Strawberry Cough. 4x4 tent, 2 1000 Watt HPS, 1/10 power water chiller, 2 T5 4 footers. 1 pump connected submerged in the reservoir pulling from back two buckets and another feeding water chiller,3 Commercial air pumps at 800 GPH. Stones in reservoir and buckets. Two 800 CFM inline fans for intake and a single inline for exhaust. full Botanicare Kind nutrients. Had to remove two plants as the Kough and MW loved being topped and LST'd and took over the tent. Only 4 plants in second picture.

Hello DWC Grow Club, just found this community and starting to read all the posts. At 8050 posts I think it might take me awhile to read. I just started my first grow and I chose to go DWC. Doing pretty good so far. I have a 4 bucket system in a 4 x 4 x 6' 8" tent. I have a 600 watt MH light in an air cooled hood. I have a carbon filter setup but don't need it right now. I have 2-Sugar Black Rose and 2 Cluster Bomb at day 16 from when I put them in rockwool cubes and into my 6" net pots. Have kept pH from 5.7 to 6.1. Feed them very light Dyna-Gro nutrients the first week and Sunday I added more but still only about 75% of recommend. They all are looking good at 2" tall and second set of leafs. Tried taking picture with iPhone but the MH bulb causes red hue strips through the picture so have to figure a different way. Any ways wanted to say Hi to the community of DWC growers.

That's real talk. ^

I've been around RIU for awhile now, but I just started my first grow. I have two Romulan Diesel clones in 5 gal. buckets under a 600w, 2x4 tent. I have a journal going, the link is in my signature. Nice to see a huge community of DWC'ers here that I can pull info from.

Someone has alot of explaining to do here.
While I can understand how and why someone would want to claim credit for GDK.
The fact that my posts have been edited to fit into a vendors strain I cannot accept.
For historical sake of the genetics alone its only proper.

Rolli its me DL here. Id like to get back to growing some things but gonna need some things fixed here.
