Light green leaves

I have got Epsom Salts! Yay! £1.50, bargain! Mixed them up to the lower end of the scale mentioned in this post. The solution now consists of a very weak nutrient solution and epsom salts @ 1 desert spoon to 5 l of water. I have misted plants. Fingers crossed.

Are you from the uk ? just when you put £1-50

I am from the Uk. Lovely place it is too. Nothing yet with the plants as you predicted. I'm just going to sit tight and not fuss over them. The Epsom Salts should de-stress them. Should I look out for a just a general healthier green/perkier appearance? Sorry three more qu's

Did they become this way through stress of overfert?

How can they survive with no/hardly any nutrients as there is none in the growing medium?

Would you advise to have the pump on 24/7 or on a timer. My hydro shop says 4 15 minute feeds a day, others say 24/7. At the mo its on lights on, off lights off.

Sorry if i'm driving you mad

Am from scotland.

Q-1 They prob became like that with over fert, when they are babies they need like a few drops too like every 2ltr.
Q-2 They will still have fert ''nuit in their system your trying to flush that from them.
Q-3 I Run hydro and run on a timer, my timer comes on just as my lights go out, and for 1 hour, as they get bigger and stronger just keep adding on 15 mins, if the leaf tipps start to drop back off for a few days.

A good thing for you to have or get is those big WATER AT WORK bottles, i have about 3 of them and all pre made up and sitting to go, they hold like 18ltr, you should be changing your water in your res every 10 days, if your not its just being lazy.

What your looking for now in your plants is ( ANY NEW GROWTH) at the top.

Thanks for all those answers. They are growing and there is a little new green growth everyday from the top.

Cool, ive grew Phatt fruity before its a strong plant, most of Barneys seeds strains dont like alot of food, they get by on the min, but in the future start with a very small amount of food, if the bottle says 7ml per ltr, and your just starting id do 7ml / 10ml max to about every 30ltr of water, its better to add and underfeed (top up) than to much and fuck up and go through all the hassle getting them back again to health,
Its like a new born baby in life, and trying to give it a 3 course meal, start with baby food for a baby, (weak mix) small amounts. Best of luck ok, ill stay tuned till my work here is done and you are happy.

Banks things are not looking too good. I append two pictures of progress. One from above showing new green growth, other at a lower level showing the damage to some leaves. Is this existing damage already done? I am not sure if things are improving.

I have unfiddled and prayed.

Am i being impatient? (most likely) I thought things were improving, now i'm not too sure. The pic from above doesn't seem too bad, but the low level looks unhappy.

I think they are still in the intensive care unit.

As you know there are hardly any nutes and epsom salts in res.

Dear Lord please make my plants flourish and be all they can be (and let Banksy win his bet.)

BEFORE !


AFTER !

They look better to me, give it time.

My plants have improved and certainly are growing. I have been using a weak nutrient solution and Epsom Salts for about a week now and there are some improvements.

I am still a bit unhappy about the speed of growth. Despite the speed, fan leaves are turn yellow and then fall. Why is this? The ph is definitely fine. There certainly isnt too many nutrients. Temp is fine. I feed them for one hour a day.

Is there any possibility i am under-feeding them now? I just dont think thats it.

Why they arent flourishing yet, or am i being impatient Banksy again.

Posting pictures of improvement. I think i have figured out something. It came to me whilst sleeping/being stoned. I didnt leave enough time for these babies to have rooted properly. Thus with the pump at full flow, the roots couldnt do their tings under saturated conditions. I have allowed the cubes to dry out a little since discovering this stonerish cause of buggering up ones plants. This is making a difference.

I would love subscribers to this grow. I can do dances with hats and coconuts if required.

They were so bad off from the start due to overwatering. Rockwool does hold wayyyyy to much water for pot. If you're going to grow in RW you need a regulated drip system. Even at 12" my plants need water only once a day in flood configuration. You had such bad results due to drowning them, that's it.
