Hello, I am finally growing my own plants.
But I am facing some problems and I would love some help.
I am assuming that I am feeding them too much and I will need to flush them out.
Thank you for your help in advance.
These plants are around their 2nd week in Veg growing in Mother Earth's Perlite + Coco 70/30 medium.
Age: Into 2nd Week of Veg
Strain: Ice Cream Cake (Indica), offspring of Wedding Cake and Gelato #33
Light: Around 53 DLI, as measured using this method:
It was around 45 DLI about a week ago.
Temp: 77-79
Humidity: 50-60
CO2: 1100-1400 since about first week of vegetative.
Nutrients: HGV Superior Plant Nutrition; Growth + Flowering Base (14.5 - 0 - 0) and Growth Formula (3 - 6 - 22). That is all.
PPM: 1550~
Media: Mother Earth's Perlite + Coco 70/30 Mixture
pH (of water going in): 6.2
What I have done so far:
I tested the run off of three plants. The test was done on January 3, but the last feed was on January 1. In order to test it, I pH'd the water at 6.2 and watered these plants until run off. Some of their pictures and details are below.
Healthier looking plant:
In - PPM 220, pH 6.3
Out (runoff) - PPM 810, pH 5.6
Sicklier plant:
In - PPM 220, pH 6.2 - 6.3
Out (runoff) - PPM 780, pH 5.8 - 5.9
Additional details:
December 28: Fed at 1570 PPM in pH 6.2 water.
December 29: CO2 began around 1100
January 1: Fed at 1570 PPM in pH 6.2 water.
January 3 (today), I notice what you see in the pictures.
They were suffering from an aphid infestation at the beginning of vegetative stage, and I sprayed them with an organic spray called GrowSafe. They are gone but I think I sprayed them too much because the flowers were drier than they should be.
The picture at the very bottom of the page is one of the healthiest looking plants (at least to me) in my garden provided for reference.
Thank you guys, have a happy new year
