Hello guys,

Northern Lights x Skunk #1 - Ceres Seeds - Female Seeds
- Growing indoor: Growbox 60x60x160cm
- Lights: HPS 250W + 50W UFO Led (added couple of days ago)
- Watering schedule: At this moment, every two days.
- Growing method: Hempy Buckets with Scrog
- Growing medium: 80% Perlite / 20% Vermiculite
- Stage of growth: Probably into 6 - 7 weeks of flowering
- Temperature range: 28 - 33 degrees celsius


lately my ladies seen to be suffering from something that I cant identify what is.
Im growing on a Hempy Bucket (2 Gallons each) and the medium is 80% perlite / 20% vermiculite.
Have been feeding them with the following ferts:
Only not used the FloraNova Grow, it has been the Bloom all the way.


since both my plants seem to be locked up, I am repeating the WEEK 07 schedule for the last 3 weeks or so.

Until two weeks ago I was watering them just once a week (every sunday), but I found that could be harming them so I decided to start watering every two days. Last friday I gave them a flush with FloraKleen to see how they are going to react, and yesterday (sunday) I gave them fertilization at 1/3 of the recommended strenght.

They are probably into 6 - 7 weeks of flowering, but they are in very different stages. One has started producing big buds and resin, while the other only has a lot of pistils but not much buds and no signs of resin at all.


The one that has starteg budding started to show some rust brown spots on the leaves, speacially the ones close to the top buds, and this problem is developing very quickly.








The other one, that is not developing the buds, has very dark leaves, but she looks perfectly healty. There are pistils all over the plant, but no buds or resin.

Here is a overall look, at the moment I have one HPS 250W and a UFO Led 50W that I added two weeks ago, lighting from the bottom to the top . There are two plants in hempy buckets, using the Scrog method. The one on the left side is the one that is not developing buds, and on the right side the one the is having brown spots.

The temperature inside the Growbox is between 28 to 33 degrees celsius. I know its high but theres nothing I can do as I live in a place where the weather is the same (~25 - 30 C) all over the year and I cant afford a air conditioning right now.


And here just a closer look to one of the buds!

I don't grow hempy or use Floranova products so caveat emptor...but with schedules like the one you published, the first two products are usually pretty important and the last 5 are more to separate you from your money. So if you didn't use the Floraveg, whatever is in it is probably what you are short on. Good luck!

Thanks for the advices guys. Started today giving them plain water. I use RO water at around 30 ppm. The runoff was at around 700 ppm, is this really bad ?

Think I will be watering them every day this week with plain water till Saturday, then on Sunday I will give them solution at 1/3 strength, and get back to watering every two days.

Let's see how they will react to that. Hope they get better.

Once again, thanks for the advices. I will be posting how they react In the next days .

Peace

Hello once again guys..

Why do you say to use tap water?
My tap water here is around 380 PPM, I just think thats not good for them, thats why I use the RO Water that is around 40 PPM.

What do you say?
