I have just returned after a week at my folks for the Easter Break & I left my setup in the capable hands of my brother... All I needed him to do was monitor the water levels & possibly adjust the light accordingly. During the week I was away he topped up the reservoir twice with ph balanced water I had left him so the water levels were just below the net pots on the inside of the reservoir. He last topped up the solution on Weds (11th)
When I returned the water level was a good two inches below the net pots so they had drunk a hell of a lot in two days..
My question is as you can see from the pics below that alot of the tips of the leaves have turned brown (esp new growth) I had minor probs with this approx a week to 10 days ago but it stopped as soon as it started & it wasn't really a prob. Does anyone know why this has happened? Is it because as the water is fed to the plants the nute solution becomes more concentrated? I hate to answer my own questions like this, but I am new to this & would appreciate some pro advice.
I purhased a nute truncheon from the bay of e & measured the dissolved nutes etc. & the reading was approx 1000 ppm which I think is OK?
The ph is fine, the lights are approx 2inches from top of plants
Oh yeah.. I use the nutrients below:
My reservoir holds 13 Litres & the nutrient ratio is 2.5ml per Litre of each of the nutrients...should I be using all three? They were germinated on the 16th March (they are WW feminized btw) & were moved into the hydro setup (dwc) on 18th March
I empty reservoir every two weeks & make up a new solution.
Any ideas as to what the discolouration is?????
