I am pH’ing to roughly 5.8, my recipe that I’m using is:

In ***TWO gallons*** water:

16mL Sensi grow A
8mL cal-mag
16mL Sensi Grow B
8mL Micro
2mL superthrive
2mL Roots
2mL Amino
20mL Fish emulsion

It is being diluted to about 800ppm. I am feeding 1-2 times per day in coco-perlite. With the exception of the SuperThrive, everything listed is half the recommended dose of what is listed on the label.

An Advanced Platinum p150 LED is 16” above canopy.

I think that I am doing everything right. Trying to cover base nutrients, vitamins, aminos, Roots, supplemental N, Cal-Mag, micro nutrients. My temps are 78-82*F with humidity about 60% now (been 80% up until a few days ago. I have an oscillating fan blowing low speed in the 2x2x4 tent.

I do recognize that there is maybe a touch of PM emerging and I’m about to deal with that. Alternately, it could be a little bit of DE that accidentally landed on the leaves but I am going to treat it as WPM.



Thank you in advance for your constructive and respectful responses.

800 ppm in those tiny containers ?

That is a hell of a lot of feed mix just for those plants. They will not utilize half of what you are throwing at it..... 16ml ??..

Up pot them and drop to only Sensi A/ B and a little calmag if using RO .
Forget all of that unnecessary extra shit.

If you are hand watering coco, I find it best to use around a 5 gallon pot to bud with. It stops the need for constant hand watering until they get really drinking. I veg in 1 gallons and hand water/feed them every day. It gives them a lot of upward growth fast and a thick rooting before transplant. You can fertilize with every feed, but I would keep the ppms low for now. Coco does even better with an auto feed system.

I appreciate that. Thank you for those pointers!

After doing some reading, I am strongly thinking that my plants may be infected with Broad Mites. They are wilty, twisted growth, droopy with leaves turned up at the edges. Thoughts?

I would actually love that! :) I did do a pH'd flush earlier today to hopefully dilute things a bit.

The thing that really seemed to all of a sudden draw me toward broad mites are the twisted growth on top.

Plants that size don't need all that stuff you're feeding them. You're watering them too much as well. Why are you watering them 2 times a day? All you need to feed them is a weak solution of the A, B, and micro. All that other stuff is unnecessary.

See the quote from the light manufacturers instructions:

“INTIAL SETUP/HANGING HEIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS:
The most important concept with indoor horticulture is not only watch your plants, but to tune into them! Great care must be shown when properly acclimating young or new plants to our LED grow lights as they are extremely intense. Remember that with young plants less is more and to always make sure the leaves are happy and pointing skywards toward the light. If while acclimating, the leaves show any signs of curling or overall stress, please raise the light until the problem is solved.
1. Seedlings and Clones - 36” - 40” - VEG switch only
2. Early Vegetative Growth - 24” - VEG switch only
3. Late Vegetative Growth - 24” - VEG and BLOOM switches together
4. Flowering - 18” - VEG and BLOOM switches together”

Suggest raising the light first.

It seems like your're a little overly focused on the additive nutrients. i agree with the others above me. I feed my plants 800 ppm at full maturity. that size of plant, i would only give about 200-300,...but i tend to go light on my nutes. And, like the others said, water less. learn to judge when to water by picking up the pot when its just been watered and when it dries up a little, pick it up again. its a real quick learning curve doing it that way, imo. some use the "stick you fingers two inches down in the medium to check" technique,..but i would only do that if your growing in soil. again this is all my opinion, not been growing long enough myself to spit out facts yet.
