Voidlings First Cab

Mmmm dont' give me nightmare ideas not that I dream.I think I'm starting to get the hang of the rooter cloning a bit better.. or at least, i'm starting to see which conditions seem to help the cuts survive best... think i wasted money on that heating mat... but ah well.

You might need it yet with winter coming up

Well the dome is in our bedroom now (makes it easy to check on it daily ) so the temps stay pretty even... occasionally it gets a little chilly late at night, but that's about it. Even temps 70-80 definitely seem to be a big factor in rooting success. I think in the next couple of rounds of cuttings my success rate is gonna start to pick up... i hope anyway definitely getting confident that i can at least always get at least one cut rooted as long as i take enough cuts to carry on keepers I got 5/6 cheese rooted (and the one remaining still might root). the aces that haven't rooted were the ones that got the driest and the most wet.

Does this seem like light bleaching or nutrition issue?

Looks like a nute def or ph issue to me

Alright. It seems that the leaves at the edge of the box are OK which is why I was curious. The yellow seems to start at the middle of the leaf and work outwards. I'll check pH in a bit. Thanks

PH appears to be around 6.5

EC has been high ever since the tea.

Need a way to hold the plants so I can dump the rez. Will keep it going and see what happens.

I dont know anything about your grow.
I am gonna go back and read up a lil to make sure I understand what you are doing to make sure I dont give you any wrong advice.

Long story short:

Shallow water culture ran with a power head

Feeding based on Lucas formula with cal mag addition. So 1 tblspoon of maxibloom and 10 ml of magical per gallon.

I "brewed" a tea with myco and bacteria and added to fight any kind of root problems.

Also got a monkey pipe. Upgraded from my single hitter

I would say that it looks like N deficiency but usually the plant consumes the leaves, eg they shrivel up starting at the tips of the effected leaves. The flip side is that if it were bleaching it would be on the top leaves closest to the light. The issue doesn't seem to be isolated to one plant but the one has it worse than the others. Am I correct so far? I would guess that it is N deficiency, in the case that they all share the same reservoir and others have the the same issue to lesser degree, I would call it that. Is the one that is almost all yellow a different variety? Either way I would hesitate to increase the nutrient solution by too much but a little would be ok. You could do a light foliar with N supplement to isolate the individual, keeping it only on the leaves. The response should be quick, hydro is fast and foliar feeding is fastest. I haven't used lucas formula before so I am unfamiliar there, but it looks like depending on your nute line you could be low on N. Many strains like a steady flow even in flower.

There didn't appear to be any shriveling of the leaves, just yellow to white. These leaves are useless now right? Might as well cut them off?

I'll see what I can find, pretty sure I'll I've got is miracle grow. Not sure what strength to use for that. I had dumped in higher N nutes before.

all the same strain, but not one I'd grown before. Apollo 11 or 13 I forget.

If they haven't shriveled up then they aren't useless and they can regain color. (Don't trim them)

Cool, thanks

Won't let me rep you, must spread around rep first

haha rep me.

I just checked the mail i should be repping you can i get a story behind the art ?

I got to spread rep before repping you too.

That was the last piece I made, its been a couple years. I used to make tribal and Celtic knot looking pieces and I've used an eye as my signature since high school. Since I was mailing you I figured I'd send you a thank you present for whatever it's worth.

I wonder if the slime from the coco might be blocking the roots ability to absorb the nutrients properly.
6.5 ph is a lil high for hydro I think, but not terribly high.

Good luck getting this all cleared up

Lesson learned. No coco in hydro system like this.

I'll try adding a little pH down. Maybe water temp lock out? Need to freeze some water bottles.
