Hey everyone! Who can tell me what's going on with this clone? It's been in my system for about a week and has had steady new growth. The yellowing begin to appear 4 days ago and the purpling stems and Leaf veins have appeared slowly since then. I've done a complete Reservoir change 3 days back and I have my PPM steady at 250. My PH tends to range between 5.7 and 6.1 and my water temp is about 69°. None of my other plants are showing any deficiency to this extent so I'm at a bit of a loss of words. I need help people!! Lol

are they all the same strain?

you should be at 400 to 600 ppms, 250 isn't enough for her. Also, are you using distilled water?
No the two I see the most problem in are blue dream and those are my only sativas.
No not using distilled water. I start with my water around 120ppm from the faucet. The reason I heald back on feeding and upping the ppm is because just put the plants in their buckets and didn't want to shock them with too much nutrient.

blue dream is a heavy feeder, do what the doc say.

so, instead, you shocked them by starving them,lol. 4to 600 won't shock em.
Gotcha thanks. I'll be back in one week.

I always get purple stems... iv used calmag and plain epsom, at different times of course... but i always get it on one strain my gg4. Mothers that have the same line of gg4 in area dont have this... i gave up as i get good yeild n good quality but who knows theres always room for improvement... maybe i should up my nutes a bit

I run low ppms but my tap water is only 30-35 ppm. I veg right around 250 until they are roughly 8-12 inches then at most I bump up to about 400-500 ppm. Even in late flower I barely go over 600ppm.
These were flowered around 600-650 ppm in coco
I'd say don't go too high but maybe bumb up to 400-450ppm range but I'd recommend getting RO water if possible.

Thanks. Everating is standing about a 10" so yea 420ppm is what I'm going to aim for lol

is this a dwc? what ferts? you really didn't provide enough info in the first post. yellowing tops might indicate a Sulphur deficiency. is there Sulphur in your fert?
It is OK to just top off my water reservoir. With the nutrient soup until I hit my PPM or should I start over with new water in the system? It's 60gal and I'm using advanced nutrient a+b sensi grow + calmag plus

unfortunately theres nothing listed for magnesiun or micros nutes
part A clearly has to have magnesium present because its derived (in part) from magnesium nitrate
the micros i assume they are in there but theyre just not listed???? but id be asking around!!
so I can tell you the best way to mix these two to get your full strength grow and bloom but inly in relationship to the NPK ratios and calcium
without the magnesium info I cant tell you how much Epsom salt you may or may not need
for full strength bloom nutes feeding the same ratio from start of 12/12 to finish
per gallon
7mls part A
10 mls part B
full strength veg nutes
9mls part A
9mls part B
mixing it this way gives you good ratios
again you just need to work out your Epsom salt(magnesium sulfate) needs
