im worried right to hell. my chica is really droopie and im freaking out.......68f with the lights out, just did res change...i'll post pix when i get back form the store... need some advice here...
here they r...i'm thinking maybe my light is too high and away from chica...? i just lowered the light from 36" down to 24" .......n e ideas out there they would be helpful... i know she's not bad but im still freakin out a lil, and it was drooping this way before i changed the res i was going to wait a few more days, but i thought a fresh res and some new water might help, but no change...fyi oh yeah i sheet rocked the closet quickie style last night and alum foiled the closet walls for max light exposure.........(for those of you who haven't been here before...i was running a hps because the m/h blew still wondering how and the lower leaves were burn very early on, light was too close) 5 pm lights just turned back on hopefully this will help...
i never said this before but when i say day 17 im talking day 17 of life period....thats whut i am counting 9weeks day by day......not days of veg or n e thing else just days of life....thanx
I would lower the nutes, flush it with plain water for a couple of days, then run nutes at about 400ppm. I dont know about ff nutes, but GH series i add about 2ml of each bottle to the res for the first couple of weeks. Alu foil is less reflective than plain white walls. I would invest in some proper mylar, my room is covered from top to bottom, foil creates hotspots too.
optics nice 2 have ya bak bud......i have duel boxie windowish kinda fan that has both settings intake & exhaust.both running clipped them last night..... she pricked bak up, but is now burntin on another leaf in one spot..........thinking too soon on the 1/2 strength....i am about to just do none for 2 more weeks just use straight ph'ed till next week......i was gonn wait and i should have, patience and i have issues between us, and we need to co-exist .......post pix tonight....
daily up's
temp-72f
rh-26%
res temp- ? for now
light timer is set to 18-6
i will be keeping the light on this setting for this grow.....next time i have an auto grow i will be using the 20/4....which is aledged by some to be the best for the a-ak....
still seeing the browning and yellow spots on the older leaves, prolly just its process older diesoff for the new to grow, and i think i freaked out for no reason now.or so i believe if im wrong though, tell me....no color change on the new growth lush & green & healthy. so ya i panic easily especially when i have no land line connect o talk to.....cant say marijuana on the phone here, dont know if you can n e where really ....watched a guy get tossed (regretfully) from the hydro store for simply saying marijuana...its really a big deal here....idk y..sorry i'm ranting again
If you plant has been stressed it will need to slow growing and recover before it can continue properly, so you want it to just drink water for a day or two, to flush everything out. I dont know how sensitive your autos are, but with my current grow I kept mine at 400-500 til it reached a bit smaller than this size below, then bumped it up to 600-700. Bear in mind the size of yours are still little, and will need less, I would keep it around 400.
Its better to underfeed than to overfeed...
thank you...i'll go flush........and 1/4 the nutes when i apply again....400ppm gotcha....another thing far as i know 6.5 ph is lil high for waterfarming..correct...or can i rock it that way and just flush... this spring water is nutz 25ppm and 6.5 ph striaght from the natural spring...should i just rock it as is or ????? maybe the foil over the bucket burned it...huhmmm held good moisture though...
Glad to be back man... well kinda haha it was really f*cking nice down there. I'm pretty sure you will have to lower the ph a tad i thnik its 5.5-6 is best for hydro
she looks happier now, all pricked up.. the light came back on bout 30 mins ago...fresh watere seems to be whut she needed.....im gonna wait a day or 2 to add nutes and 1/4 them instead of 1/2 strength.....hope she is better..oh and i re-raised the light to 36" she was happier with it there....maybe heat stroke or some thing...lol... but do u see the yellow burnt lookin spot and tips????? 75f w/ 28% rh....getting better...bought a humidifer run it 24/7 since..so maybe this all will help..too early to have issuse or so i hoped....but trying nutes was not th best idea yet....even 1/2 strength...
looking better, if you can get the humidity up 10-20% it will help, vegging plants like a bit of humidity. A small fan to recirculate the air blowing over the plant works wonders, my Kush had curled leaves at first til i pointed a pc fan at it, now its much happier. The trick with autos is to make the grow as smooth as possible, any stress or delay in growth with such a short lifespan affects the yield a lot more than photoperiod plants
n e ideas???? she is drying up on the older growth almost transparent....whut do i need to do someone help please....i have no idea whut it could be......trying to find whut it could be....
I think your problem is the drip ring spits water onto the leaves. Water on leaves makes the light burn them. Put tinfoil under the plant but over the drip ring. It helps with water evaporation too. Then wipe down the leaves and see if she gets better.
thanks Growa i'll give er hell......only over the drip ring though? also i was think N" def, might i be on the right track as well..????? (re-adding foil over drip ring... only time will tell) i di notice some evap as well, not that thats the prob....
i tend to agree with waht the other person just said.. it does really look like the only part of the leaves that are getting burned are the parts near the rings.. is this fair to say?? and if it is, than its def from the drip ring.. try and use that foil like someone suggested.. they look pretty good other then those couple of leaves by the drip rings..
thanx for checkin up Racer.....appreciate all the help u too Growa... foil was added over the drip ring...should i cut the burnt growth or leave it there...knowing it wont heal....?....riu is the cats meow thanx so much fellas......be lost w/o this place...OH WE HAVE WHITE HAIRS!!!!!!!OH YEAH!!!!!!
