OG#18 2nd week flower problems

Code10 · Jun 6, 2012

Hi guys having one or two issues right now with my Reserva Privada OG #18's there currently on the start of week 2 flower, in DWC Buckets under 3 600w HPS running Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow/bloom no additives yet..

Hit them with a light feed of 1.0 EC 2 days ago and the PH crept up abit to 6.2 this morning (has now been adjusted back to 5.8 )

I checked on them this morning and noticed this I also noticed the roots are a shade darker (this might be because of the colour of the feed)

any suggestions?

Last photo, halfway down on the far right side of the roots. Is that a brown spot in the roots, or just the way the picture looks? If that is in the roots, it could be brown slime.

Dutch master gold will be a complete system with no issues ever, for less money even. zone would prevent this.

Flush with twice the amountof water you use for feeding. Add some nutes to the mix (small amount) and flsuh. Will take out nute lock-up and mite fix your problem

Thanks Goldowitz for the reply... after reading the mentioned post, I don't think its brown slime as the root system still looks healthy and the plant is still stretching like mad, there just a little off coloured hopefully down to the nutes (there is also no smell, which could be a sign of root rot) so from now on I will be keeping a very close eye on them for the next few days, maybe i'm panicking over nothing but still good to be safer than sorry in my view.

I have cleaned and flushed the 4 DWC buckets with a low strength solution of 0.7 EC and PH 5.8 I will be monitoring the plants closely for anymore signs of problems over the next few days, hopefully the problem will cease and I can get back to flowering my plants.

mini heart attack over for now I will update in the next few days and let you guys know how/if they pull thru.

did anyone have an idea what the leaves are going thru - reading the various plant problem finders on the net i'm still to make a diagnosis

looks like some light bleaching going on. ph issues...root rot etc. Move the light up a bit, flush your res with clean water, make sure the temp of your res water is right...if its too warm you will get rot.

an example of light bleaching...

Agree 1000% so far best nutes ive used... Notice how many problems you always see on here with people using all these over priced nutes that you have to supplement with 20 other things. Yet you hardly ever hear of anyone having all these probs with Dutch Masters.

I'm gonna say light bleaching, are your lights getting close and how hot is it in the room?

Lights are currently 18/22 Inches from the tops of the plants my temps range from 19c to 28c

PH did jump up to 6.4 / 6.5 but would that cause the bleetching

I want to say light bleaching, I have grown OG#18 a couple times but it could be a PH issue are you in DWC? Your roots look very good so the plant is healthy. I would drain and replenish and reset PH 5.8 and monitor.

Dude google " Light bleaching cannabis" and see for yourself , I only say this because I grow with two 1000W HPS and I always get a plant or two that doesnt like the light too close. Its not your nutes so you dont need Dutch Master I have used Dutch Master and still get light bleaching.. It's not a major problem just cut the leaf off and raise the lights another 6 inches.

I had a similar problem a while back growing an OG strain. I finally isolated my problem to be that my ph (5.8-6.0) was a bit too high. It was locking out manganese/magnesium creating a deficiency.

What worked for me was to lower the ph to 5.4 and I also added h202 to help the nutrient uptake.

Good luck bro.

But he'd be smokin the bud by now if he was using dutch master !! lol, shits perfect, a tenth of the cost of an AN line up, and keeps ph steady, a real no brainer with no issues ever in three+ yrs harvesting weekly in a perpetual grow.

Yeah but nutrients arent his issue his plants have no signs of nutrient burn , his plants look healthy so its not the nutes its light bleaching. We get it you guys like Dutch Master but lets not turn this into a nutrient battle.

just joshin with ya man. I totally agree with you. I think some colder air would help too.

peace

i like this suggestion ^^^^. i would flush with something like flora kleen or drip clean. then feed with a light feed. i would add a bloom booster too could be a mix of potassium and phosphorous deficiency set ph to 5.8 and see how u go

Is there only one type called dutch master? Can you email me which exactly you use that helps PH etc.

pharmacoping · Jun 6, 2012

I wonder about the nutrient deficiencies suggested. Any quality system will be a complete one, and I thought, the overpriced AN line was a quality system??

There are a whole load of different complete dutch master systems. I use DM Gold and only monitored my ph in the first year. no more ph meters, or ppm ones either, just simple directions, pure water, and a change every week or so. non stop perfection, 3 yrs straight, and consistant.

all pics grown with dm gold line, no boosters, or sugar

i was actually thinking more along the lines of a lockout than a deficiency, and the bloom booster i suggested on the basis that the problem developed early in flower and phosphorous def can cause big dead looking splotches normally a bit more purple though but you never know. also i have never tried AN but from what i have read they are overpriced rubbish geared towards selling overpriced additives so maybe there base nutrients arent all they should be. of course thats all heresay and here i am just perpetuating the rumour sorry about that.

and im definitely not saying im 100% correct just throwing it out there for the grower to consider
