Man, I agree with Florida Girl, lower temp in rez around 65-68 tops, this also leaves a little room for screwing up. Myself, ph is at 6-6.5 early stages then up to 7 tops in late stage. As for your ppm, if you are trying get plants back from some bad place, I would have ppm around 500-600 tops. I use a three part called Holland Secret, it is very easy and I make my pals jealous. But with mine, if I am trying to fix a screw up I revet to the second or third week feed schedual until healthy then run from there. Good luck
PS dont let the negative asses in the world get on your tits. They usally have to much bad in their own life.

In case it wasnt stated as I read only first 5 pages 6.5 in hydro is way to high a ph especially in flower get down to 5.5 to 5.8 ph max.Water temperature in the res should be around 65 degrees F so its maxed at 70 degrees F at root impact.That should help a ton alone

yer thanks res is at 68 now ph went up to 5.8 since i last checked must of got it from the medium or something. my plants are mostly showing deficiencys so wouldnt it be good at 1100 ppm? i got such a gay strain cause wanted to test if i could receive them i got them but then the skunk i orderd got stopped so got stuck with this. i have some wicked plants i got from a good 25 bag but there dieing pretty quickly under these conditions.

ohh I'm around..:blsmoke:
ha man i hate buying foil's. 25$ for fuck all. that's why I'm here learning and loving the art of growing, and staying off those dirty streets!
try the little store on wanneroo rd, tuart hill. service is quality.

if your plants are still dying from suspected nute burn, test the ppm every day. if it has lowered then increase your ppm. if it has increased then decrease your ppm of nutes and if it hasn't changed then your on the right track:hump:

my mate took some today on his phone so he just has to go home and transfer onto a usb stick then put them on my computer. i think the plants are starting to look better already the ppm went up to 1600 so i think there was a very high ppm in the medium but its back to 1100 now and ph is still good.

That's good to hear. One more thing ... make sure to flush your plants once a week with RO water that has been PH'd correctly with NO nutes at all. This will help prevent the salt build up from your fluctuating PPM. Even if you keep your PPM at 1100.... the salts are building up... the weekly flush with RO water PH'd correctly and NO NUTES should keep your plants nice and healthy.

He still have NOT posted the pictures. I am dying to see this shit.

To those who think we a bit harsh on this fellow....get fucken stone and enjoy this FOBG lies!

He said "5K" - now he clarifying that it in Australian dollars. What your next move? British pound? Japanese Yen? Oh wait - will just use the "K" so 5K.

To the other idiot who said he spend over $13,000.00 in USD (his currency of course) on a fucken system. WOW - i'm impress with your stupidity. You must be like some rich dude, but yet you still manage to get beat by other smarter folks. All that money and still dumb!

The most outragious system is that bullshit fucken rounded fucken thing like a wheel and they wanted like $7,000.00 USD - give me a fucken break.

My entire system costed me under $500.00. Fucken ever heard of ebay?

Post your NASA system and we'll see who should get the last laught.

Ok you all need to chill, or at the very least smoke your own product. Hes askin for help on a specific issue, and all the people fucking reacted to the price of it like a bunch of fucking crack heads.

Growing pot costs money, anyone bitching at someone for spending a few grand on a room has obviously never harvested a pound of weed. Spending less money does not make you smarter, it makes you frugal, frugality is not related to intelligence. There is an infinite number of things you can spend money on to grow indoors. The sky is the limit, every little bit helps, you can improve on the basics. You just dont NEED to.

Quite honestly, who cares if he is lying? He has some pretty specific questions to be lying. Im guessing that everyone bitching at him not only is sort of an asshole but also has no idea how to answer his questions. I dont either but I do soil, so poo poo on that. ?res temp?...sounds awful:spew:

STOP BEING ASSHOLES, GROWING IS NOT A PISSING CONTESTS, THE POINT IS TO GET EVERYONE HIGH:joint:

And to the OP, dude, you bought a system way beyond your expertise. #1 read the whole growFAQ tonight #2 Get a growbook to read on the bus #3 You need to contact and chill with your assembly dudes for some customer support. They know the deal, they have seen the problem before, they will be able to help you solve it.

Grow on:peace:

yer thanks speedhabit ur a legend. but i cant learn more than i have learnt i know about how to grow i just dont know how to with this nutrients since it was a store made one. i think it might just be the nutes being no good ay. but il still read up a bit on satalite systems as they are kinda new to me. i went in asking for a 2 by 1 flood and drain system for about 100 plants come out with a death trap for 4 lol

im using pk up which is potassiom and something else. wouldnt the yellowness of the small leaves mean a defficiency not nute burn? but at the same time i get whole leaves brown and crinkly which looks like nute burn.

Man, sorry to see your problem. What is your ppm at or ec. the tent you are using, hate asking but does it have a real heavy chemical or plastic smell. I have seen this before from tent problems. What do the roots look like, are they nice and white or yellowing, do the roots have a smell like rotten vegtables or an off smell. Sorry if you have answered these ? previously, late viewer.
