if you can't determine if they are clear or milky they are still clear.. you'll know milky.. but more over you wanna see 20% amber heads anywhere you stick the scope... i hope you flushed those babies really good you have salt build up signs everywhere on your fans..
the milky ones will look like the trichromes filled up with semen they won't be clear and glassy..
so do you see them ambers everywhere you stick the scope? or are you looking to find them?hahaha first explanation that made sense!
So in that case, I see glassy trichs not enough semen trichs too and too few amber
I am looking to find them, I can find them on all of the top colas. Not enough for a % though, it is like where's waldo lol
well 99.9% of newer growers never run fresh water cycles... so lets say Monday you feed your fresh nutrient feed.. tuesday you come back and ph balance... top off your resivors... rebalance ppms.. wednesday same thing .. thurday same thing... Friday you SHOULD be draining your resivoir... putting fresh clean PH BALANCED water in and run that water from friday to sunday (checking and keeping a stable ph the whole time on the clean water.. top off obviously too..) .. thats going to flush salts and give your plants a break from chemical feeding.. they need that.. then monday drain the water.. restart fresh solution and go again... thats how a real hydro setup is supposed to be ran... no one does that.. you need to at the very least run fresh water for a weekend once a month AT MINIMUM if you don't you get the salt build up your getting.. it happens when your consistently running chemicals through your system and never flushing it out.. the salts and metals build up in the system and they start frying your roots. which burns the plant like you have..
Makes a lot of sense, these babies went from organic nutes in dwc (I had tons of issues as I was warned I would have), I flushed for about 4 days and switched to GH Flora Micro & Bloom using the Lucas Formula. Everything improved and I vegged for a few more weeks and then flipped it.
no his temps aren't causing that its salt burn.
I check temps everyday and they never go above ~80 and never under ~65. I thought it was a heat issue as well, but I thought there is no way that it can be. I even have the temps logging on my computer to make sure lol The humidity ~%45-65
5.5-6.5 is too much of a fluctuation on hydro you wanna be very stable .... i would never let it swing more than .5 .. believe it or not your plants can shock from a full point ph change.
no its not heat or humidity both have total different looks your salt burning ... GUNNER DANG IT listen and learn!
Yea the swing has been an issue, I definitely learned and will not be growing this many in the tub or if I do cut veg time down.
one thing that will stop the major swing are you toping off EVERY DAY and rebalancing your PPM levels?
i have to assume not because your swinging .. thats part of hydro you have to be in there daily checking your PH and rebalancing.. you HAVE GOT TO TOP OFF DAILY or your plants will be sitting in NUTRIENT DENSE water... (which is what creates the burns your having) ... and really hydro you should be rebalancing your PPM levels daily so your plants food isn't swinging...
Yes, I am very active in my grow area. I top off and rebalance PPM as needed, for the last ~7 days they haven't been eating much if anything. So I was just adding water and making sure the PH was balanced. I had a feeling there was an issue, so I looked around online and I read that in the last few weeks it is not uncommon for plants to slow down eating. I then noticed the leaves getting worse and the plants still not really eating, so I changed the res and put low strength solution in.
if your about to harvest there should only be plain water in your resivor no nutrients.. and you should be running plain water for 1.5-2 weeks . then harvest.. any sooner and they aren't going to be flushed properly..
