Just moved my juvies from under a fluorescent in small soil pots into my bucket hydro constant drip system under a 600W MH. Lights are on for 18 off for 6. I have a 6" fan pulling air through the enclosed reflector 24/7 to eliminate humidity effects and maintain temperature. The strain is Mango Haze and they're about six weeks past emergence.
I prepped the hydro buckets and filled the reservoir with filtered tap water and Fox Farm nutrients and a Cal-Mag addition then adjusted my pH using general hydroponics pH down granular stuff. About a week after the transfer I noticed the leaves were taco-ing. I checked the pH again and it had crept up from around 5.8 - 6 to around 7. I added more pH down and another half week later the pH crept up again to around 7 and the new growth started showing interveinal chlorosis with black tips. The tips are not dead (yet ) but black!
If you recognize these symptoms, please do let me know what you did to fix it. I'm prepping to simply flush the existing reservoir and reset in hopes of eliminating whatever is messing with my girls.
