leaves look funky?

My leaves look pretty funky.
Anybody else thinks so?

Yeah, hard to see because of the light color, but looks a bit weird.

Overfeeding. Too much Nitrogen. Cut back on the feeds. Do you water between feedings?

I can tell by the wrinkling of the leaves that you might suffering vpd....google it....

In a word it seems like you might need to get your humidity up and/or the air flow around your plant is too harsh....

Been there done that...

DWC setup, 600 ppm, 6.3 ph, water temp 65, room temp 72, humidity 30%.

Vpd.. interesting... could possibly be. I've looked up some photos of vpd but vpd seems to be followed by yellowing of the leaves also which mine are not.

Is the pH rising? Indicating they are using the nutes? How old are they and have you grown this strain before in DWC? It just looks very leafy like excess N.

lol ya yiuve got some issues.

try.....
metal

The yellowing in a seperate issue from vpd

The humidity at 30% isnt that bad....so... how harsh is the air movement around the plants?

none of those are right... guess again

Master! Please tell me the problem!! Lol. Could it be vegging with an hps? Because that's what I'm doin...

well he edited so my post looks a little out of place.


and no, i prefer to veg and flower under hps


research, learn to read your plants.
i gave you a hint with metal

Not harsh at all. Just a small breeze.

Still no clue :/

Iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper and molybdenum are you're micronutrients.

There's your metals. However, you're PH seems right for proper absorption to me.

Running GSC. Never ran this in DWC. Ph is rising. These guys are about 2 weeks in veg. To me they look really healthy. It's just the leaves look a little odd and chunky.

Should I drop ph down to 5.5 and let it work up? I've heard certain micros work at certain ph only.

I wouldn't go below 5.8 honestly. If they aren't absorbing by then, something else is wrong.

You have to lower it slowly though or you'll shock the shit out of them. Over a 2 day period is optimum. This way you can see if they are improving or not without risking you're whole plant.

If they get worse, you can raise the ph back up. If they get better, run at 5.8-6.0. Some plants can be a real pain in the ass with ph. That's why I chose to grow organically.

Are you using RO water?

No. I'm using well water. It runs about 140 ppm.
