Just got a tent together for first time in 15 years. Tried what a put together then. Basically 4 buckets with sprayers, drained to rez. No medium, a cheap version of aero.
Buddy gave me 4 ready for flower. Killed 2 and ready to chop another dying. Left for vacation and had another friend top off rez. Know it wasnt gonna turn out good. Ph was shit and ppm high for 8 days. 2 were all droopy and bad. Trashed them. This was 2 weeks into flower. The
2 other managed through. One stunted few weeks later. And now I'm gonna chop it after it went like the other 2
Below is the part of one that has survived into week 5 somehow
I realized my ph was dropping from 6.1 to 4..4-5 every 24 hrs the weeks after coming home from vacation. Have been adjusting every day past week. But I'm adding at least 20ml up just to get back to 6. Never had this problem 15 years ago.
r/o water Botanicare bloom, cal mag, silica hydro quars,liquid karma. Lltlle below what they recommend. Silica first then cal mag then rest to rez. Is at 4.5 after that. 25ml up to get to 6. Change every 5 days. Top off with ro water during those 5. Airstone.
Buddy gave me another ready to flower after first 2 died. It's two weeks in flower now., maybe 4 days before I realized it was sitting in 4.4. Been adding 20ml up every day since to get back to 6.1
Now it's doing what my lone survivor did. Yellow lower leaves and die off or turning dark red/ purple. Was full as could be before.
4x4 tent, 720w mammoth 8 bar. 40-50rh temps 70-84. 6in vortex fan. Rez is outside tent, airstone but sits at 74. Spare bedroom. Not ideal situation yet but kinda on budget after initial costs.
I don't remember ever having this much trouble 15-20 years ago with nutes. Ran same stuff as now minus aqua shield. Perpetual run for years. Got busted, did a year. Ten years later it's legal in my state and I can't do it now lol. Have seeds and clones available but want to figure this out before I veg any in smaller tent. Any suggestions would be appreciated. If I HAVE to I could switch nutes. But on budget and have quite a bit left.
