1000 true watts on a 4x4 square? That's a ton of light. Also what EC are you feeding them?
Nothing on it but am showing the weird wrinkle pattern that i keep getting. I don't know what causes it but i no like
I keep thinking it's zinc also. But why? Jacks has micros and calmag does also. Ph rolls around from 5.8 up to 6.4 then i lower it back. Not sure why ph keeps climbing continuously. Humidity is high but i can't do much about it. Temp is low 80s upper 70s. Plenty of air as it has 2 6in fans. 1 in 1 out.
The basic part A 5 12 26 or some shit
I was thinking zinc. I am guilty of not dropping ph down this round and have been maintaining it from 6.0 up. I will take her down to 5.7 and let it climb. Yeah the ph thing is daily lowering and i don't remember having this issue with GH once ph settled. I have no air lines so i can't figure out why. I just saw a chelated calcium product i might use to supplement instead of calmag. I dont like raising yhe CaN because of the amount of N in it. I just started filling the barrel for my weekly flush and am going to go with 321 even. I already know i need more ca due to filtered water and even at the tap is only 68ppm according to the wayer co.
I was having calcium problems in the beginning because of filtered water not having any in it. That problem went away with the introduction of this one
Underfeeding in general. This is only 500ppm. I use about 1200ppm at your stage with Jacks. Full strength at peak is 2000ppm. Lights are 400 real watts. 800-900ppfd. Media is peat, not hydro. Not exactly the same, but similar.
I would not listen to this advice. I've been growing with Jack's in DWC and never gone over 600ppm(1.2 EC).
Not new. Been growing for a long time. But as I said, I don't do hydro. 2000ppm produces a large yield of mostly flawless plants for me in PEAT and I wasn't suggesting he should use 2000ppm in hydro. I just suggested he use more nutes, which you indirectly agreed with by saying you use 600ppm.
there ya go.. gypsum. i didnt want to add anymore calnitrate... so i was using the calmag for it not the mag. I need something to beef up the calcium. will gypsum work in hydro? i dunno. i saw some chelated calcium that wasnt too much i am going to get. so i can mix normal and add calcium by itself
how can i get the calcium level higher without using the calcium nitrate nor calmag? i just need to do that and I think i will be good. well I still have the yellowing new growth but i think a lower ph is going to fix that
With powdered gypsum. It's soluble and works fine. Doesn't settle out. Do not use chelated calcium in the feed routinely. It's better utilized as a foliar treatment all by itself or a limited use root feed.
