They are taking up more water then nutes, which in turn causes your remaining solution to go 'hot'. It is very normal to get a ph drop the first view days, especially in a new res. if it is a bit 'hot'. What is happening to the ec in that same 24 hour period, that ought to tell you something...
Brother, any chance that you have light leaks? They are not developing right. I'm not saying there is not something else going on as well, but that salad like look on the leafs is to me a sure sign of some re-veging/ back and forth, happening there. You ever stick your head into your grow...
Looks like someone foliar sprayed pure salt on them. They are going bad from the top down, and I am sorry but I have to disagree with the guy that states they look great. Unless you spend a lot of time getting them completely healthy again prior to flowering you can kiss yield and quality...
This is no nitrogen def, it is starting on new growth, n def starts on old growth since it is mobile. This is a Fe (iron), most likely due to ph being off. The fastest way to get some Iron in them is by foliar feeding in combination with getting the ph right and supplementing their regular...
We flush in order to remove unwanted salt build up in the medium. Some additives like clearx will aid in the breakdown of the build up nutes in the medium, but none are necessary. What medium are you using? Do NOT mix in epsom salt as you are flushing, the whole point is to get rid of build...
Not sure Don, looks about the same. What changed for sure is how much water they draw up, and there is somewhat more degregation of the canopy due to the lower humidity. On the bright side all the fungus gnats I have been batteling with seem to have moved out. So bottom line, I can maybe se a...
So here we are at 53 days. Everything is frosting up nice. Someof the canopy is starting to loose its luster but that is to be expected. Trics are still mostly clear. I also lowered humidity to about 30%RH
Cheers 600 crew :)
I see ozone is being discussed here. Since I'm a IAQ contractor I thought I add a little bit of science to this discussion.
From the EPA site:

How is Ozone Harmful?

Yeah I hear you brother, but to be honest, unless your meter reads very fast (my 2 hanna meters do not, they take about 1-2min. before they finally get to a stable reading) you are going to be faster with the drops imo.
My favorite color, piss yellow lol.
Good luck bro!
So it is done, I reduced humidity to the mid 20's. Thanks for the tip guys, it will be interesting to see how it impacts the nutes as well.
I just noticed the 'sunny england' and had to laugh lol.
Lol, no worries bro. I got to go to work, but here is a view pics. The current strain is Banana OG. I'll explain the 'cge' environment when I get home.
Well fuck, now I'm going to have to lower my humidity during the last 2 weeks. There seems to be consensus on this subject, less humidity = more trics. I can bring it all the way down to the low 20's what would you guys think is a good balance here? Also, I'm assuming that I will have to...
Well said! I've been in my cge environment for too long lol, all I ever see is the humidity I set the dehumidifier to. But you are absolutley right, more transpiration = more humidity.
