Hey! I am a newbie doing my first grow in of Big Bud and Purple Haze in DWC.
4x4x8 grow tent. I use one air cooled 500W MH light for 2 totes, 2 lights and 4 totes total. Lights are 18" from the tops. I have (4) 10 gal totes currently filled with about 7 gals of water. My tap water is about 7.2 ph and 200 ppm. By the time I add 14ml Hydroguard to the water I end with 260-270 ppm. I am using GH Trio formula 1/2 tsp per gal, or about 17.5 ml from each...micro/grow/bloom bottle. I then PH down to 6.0. After PH down I end up with water at 6.0 PH and 660ppm/1320 EC. Temps are 74 degrees ambient, and 70 degrees water. RH is very low at 20-30%.
My problem is some lower fan leaves are developing weird grey/brown spots and curling a little. Check out the pics. This just started a few days ago after a rez change and I dropped my PH down to 5.8. Now this! Is it a nutrient lockout of some sort because of the low PH...magnesium and calcium?
Help!
