I solved this unsolvable riddle..

Yes, it was my fault that I did not understand it right away.

When I watered the plants, I was guided by the PS in the drainage. The PS was always 6.5. But recently.. by accident, I measured the drainage PPM and was shocked. The PPM was 3000. For my mineral solution, this is terrible.. the working drainage is 500-700 PPM. Where these PPMs came from after the frosts, I have no idea! I have never seen anything like this in my practice.

Over the past week, I have watered twice, 80 liters each))) I am now flushing the soil with water very generously. So far, I have not been able to bring the PPM down to 1800. I think that 2 more waterings of 80 liters will solve the problem.

Sorry for everything, I'm just not used to working in such extreme conditions.

Electricity has been fixed, the light has already appeared.. this is good.. for now.))

I am not showing the plants yet, I plan to show them on Friday, after the next watering.. I hope I identified the problem correctly this time!

In the meantime, I will show the work of my friend, which I showed earlier

You see that there are very few dry stigmas.

So far so good there!

I think it's the cold that made the plants slow down metabolism and EC stacked up in the medium.

Cheers!

Hello!

Sorry I didn't have time to show yesterday, I was very tired, I didn't have time. But the photos are from yesterday...

The last watering was very.. furious))).. I watered from 4 pm to 1 am, in total I poured out 100 liters of water.. At 9 pm the PPM was 1150.. I didn't stop and continued.. As a result, by 1 am the PPM dropped to 700, PS 6.5. These are the working indicators in my setup. Now nothing should interfere with the plants to grow.

In comparison with the previous photos, we see that the rods have grown.

I have not turned on the sodium lamp yet. Now a soft fluorescent light is installed.

You can see that the leaves are still bruised, but there is still a tendency to improve. but this is right after heavy watering, the plants haven't recovered yet

The plant that is in a small container looks perfect, which means that the honeycombs will soon be like that too.

Let's hope for the best!

Bro, excuse me.. I was very tired yesterday. Besides, my wife and mother-in-law returned from the hospital yesterday, I spent the evening with my wife. I haven't seen her for 2 weeks. I was completely alone. I forgot how to talk.))

Yes, sometimes I am surprised by the incredible chemical processes that occur in the soil.

Yes, I agree with you, after the cold weather the plants shrank like this, as you can see in the photo, and this continues to this day. Although before, after each watering, many yellow leaves appeared. This time, before watering, I tore off all the yellow leaves. Now we see that yellow leaves no longer appear. This is great progress for me. I really hope for improvement!

The picture is of Folke K Skoog. A Swedish/American plant physiologist who's mostly known for co-inventing MSO(Murashige–Skoog-medium) that's used globally in cell and tissue cultures.

He was one of the first scientist to discover the first cytokinin kinetin. He was the first to make a stable semi/synthetic cytokinin called BAP(benzylaminopurine). He was also one of the first to describe the interactions between auxins and cytokinins.

And most of the base work was done back in the 50 and 60's! We've only touched the surface when it comes to our understanding of ourselves and plant physiology.

i have to agree we know less about plants and the human body than we think !
