Nice man looks like you may be over feeding them. Are you feeding them, if so How long have you been feeding them.

 

[Ncs0816]

Right now. With the pot size and everything taking into account t like humidity and temps


I' usually feeding them twice a week

Feed.....water......feed.....water. about ever 2-3 days

I noticed last night, my water for flush, that I set quite low because the pH has been coming back to the reservoir at 6.1 no matter what I do. So I ended up dropping the pH of the water down to 5.5 came back at 6.4. So I did another flush and set the pH this time at 5.0 to try to bring down the pH coming back to the reservoir. It’s still coming back at 6.1 so I’m thinking the pH of my route zone is really high, I’m not sure how to bring it down I can see it is precipitating out most likely calcium and iron making the water coming back cloudy with gray swirls.

Any ideas from any of you guys would be great because I don’t really know how to bring the pH down at the roots. I am attempting to use a shower head hose and really run some water in high-volume through each pot individually, Because I feel the drip rings just don’t provide enough volume sufficient for flush.

I know I accidently put in too much Epson salt

Try flushing with a ow fertilizer. Or something acidic

Ya that could lead to calcium being unavailable which is what it looks like.

 

[drgreentm]

Wondering how acidic I can go? I don’t want to stress them anymore than I already have.

 

[Ncs0816]

Hoe long did you flush for. Can you flush for a longer period of time?

 

[Ncs0816]

I'e never done hydro or

What ppms/ ec are the feedings.

Ec for this plant is at 2.0

 

[drgreentm]

Ran a hose and tip with shower head adapter ran probably 15-20 gallons through each and I see this! Thought it was perlite dust but I tasted it (lol just water and h202) and it is straight salt.

Damn. That's alot of salt. Ice hears about salt build up in hydro Can be high

Bushdoctor Boomerrang is really light.

Flushed all 32 pots with with H202 ph’d at 5.0 and pulled tons of salt, when the water dried there was piles lol also scubbed every bit of algae in the system.

Much better

And the chem’s only got two waterings today since 5:00 pm and they look great!!
The cookie’s are a bit sad though they didn’t like the altered watering schedule prably water them more often because of the 5 gallon pots.




Got three more wall mount fans today and trellis, not that this is all done and good to go tomorrow is going to be there first 12 hour cycle.

I found this video

I think he does a drip method because he talks about his PH being at 5.5. Which I knowis to low for soil.

Was the perlite not washed initially?

 

[Carolina Dream'n]

Perlite has a ph between 7.0-7.5. Could be the high ph reading you were getting. Gotta flush the shit out of perlite, hydroton or grow stones which is why I hated them.
