@oilmaker... hey mate...hows it all going for you now?
Oh mate. I've had the shittest couple of days. My potassium problem has progressed. The potassium I've added hasn't made a bit of difference. I have just opened the room to find a wilted plant covered with necrosis of the leaves. I move it out of the room and it literally dropped leaves everywhere. I decided to cut it and bin it. 6 left. I've now flushed each plant with 5 litres of phd water with flushing agent. I then Added a complete n-p-k mix with added calmAg. I will check again tomorrow. I am hoping it is a salt build up. I'll post pics ASAP.

How are you going @WazzaX

Apparently the massive stretching I'm seeing from the chunk is due to the potassium deff. Just something else I've read

Here are some pics

It absolutely rocketed mate. It seems to still be growing too. Yea gutted it hasn't gone to plan but read somewhere earlier that flushing when you change from grow to bloom really helps the plants absorb the most potassium. Personally I'd wait till the stretch is done then have a flush. Gonna add that into my next grow.
 
hi led growers. im new to led have real heat issues in my hydrolab with 2 x hps 600w, so I get delivery of 4 x 600w marshydro led lights on tues! growing critical on nft tables . in the past had great results with hps but its just too hot in there so here goes with the led. couldn't afford the more expensive makes so I was soo pleased you mentioned the marshydro as I really couldn't find any reviews. your blog is awesome and im totally hooked.

Hi and welcome. No doubt about HPS and it's ability to grow nice plants but the issue for me has always been heat.

I've found the marshydro to be excellent so far and I've had no heat issues or reliability issues just plant issues lol but they will be grower error. Just remember to ad magnecal/calmAg to your watering schedule as the LED demands more from the plant. We're getting a good group of Mars growers on this thread and I hope we get more !!! Any pics, ?s and suggestions are encouraged.

Here to help if we can

UPDATE :

after losing a plant yesterday due to the Potassium deff I decided to take drastic action. I flushed each plant with 5L of water and florakleen and then added 2L of nute mix. So 7 L in total passed through each 11L pot. Today I am greeted by healthier looking plants. No further deff progression as far as I can tell. I removed the damaged leaves so I could see any development. I will wait nervously now for a few days to be sure it's solved. I believe a salt buildup was to blame for the potassium lockout. I will defo flush after the stretch next time.

I put 1ml/L. WazzaX puts 2ml/L. You'll be ok at one. Move up to 2 if needed :). Ask as many ?s as you needs
Thanks :) will do bit worried tho as I have two NFt tanks 5ft x 2ft so they take some water !! You are too kind :) look forward to many discussions. I'm growing critical feminized by the way from seed. Yours any better now ??

Yeah they are looking ok at the moment. Just waiting for a couple of days to check it's solved.

Nice strain you have there. I just threw out a critical super silver haze because I have nowhere for her. !!
