Please tell me more about over watering and how it can mimic many different plant deficiencies. Currently I am using a bubbleponic drip system, I have 5 drip tubes hooked up to a 185GPH submersible pump which is only on when the lights are on. Im using 17/7 for my lighting schedule. I've heard that maybe I should only have the drip system on maybe three times a day 15 minutes each because I could be over watering having it on for 17 hours straight, what do you think of this?
I am starting with clones, and wondering if I should have used less nutrients. I used 1/2 of week one nutes, so I used 1tsp/gal. I also used some earth juice catalyst 1/2 tsp/gal, super thrive 1 drop a gal, fulvic acid 1/2 tsp/gal, and hygrozyme 4ml/gal. All this to start clones that show roots through rockwool.
My clones have very slight yellowing around both edges of newer top leafs from the back to the tip with normal green in the center, some new young leafs are slightly twisted and very pale (IRON?). Some leaf tips are pointing straight down with the rest of the leaf bowed doward yet horizontal. Other leaf tips are slightly pointed upward, and some are very very slightly burned or browned. The stems are purple, yet the very top of the stem where new shoots are slowly growing is still green.
The nutes i am using is rated at 3-1-5, is this too weak? wrong ratio? what is better?
My PH is ok 5.8-6.2(constant), I have I monitor that constantly with a ph meter freshly calibrated.
Lately I've been having issues with vigorous growth, some nutrient always seems to be deficient, I want to know if I should add earth juice micro to the reservoir at water change at low dosage and what that dosage would start at for clones
