Discolour of leaves not good i dont think

Hi people this is my first time on this site and not sure how to use it.

I have a berry bomb female and its in its 3rd week from seed and i have slight discolour of the newest leafs. Can some1 suggest what this could be and a little help please.

Is that a standard waterfarm? (airpump pushes the water/oxygen up through the drip ring) or a modified one that uses a water pump to push it up? the leaves look fine btw, Healthy looking indica right there.

He's got some deficiency developing, but I'm a soil grower, so I hesitate to say more than that.

im using canna aqua vega at the momwnt and will be using flora in flowering stage

Is your PH definitely bang on? I noticed this sort of blister/bubblewrap look on a few of my plants after some PH troubles.

im going by a ph test solution and i think 6.4 ill post a pic of it and a update on plant.

needs to come down a bit i think what do u think?

5.5-6.3 for hydro. You may have to cut back on the waterings a bit.

just looked at my water tank and the bottom of it is covered in brown shit. think its my nutes and maybe why my plant ent getting the good shiz ill post pic of water tank and any suggestions would be great.

this is my water tank with tap water and canna aqua vega A and B mixed together. after a while it looks like this. looks to me that the nutes are sticking to the bottom and not getting to the plant. could any 1 please give me a quide line on how much canna aqua veg i need to mix with water

Holy shit that looks horrible! Again, soil grower here, but I'm pretty sure your not supposed to have that much shit growing in your res, lol.

I run mine, hydro, at 6.0 that seems to be the best as it can fluctuate up and down on its own. Also how often are you changing the water. In those things, i have one, I changed and cleaned once a week, small amounts of water cont quick. And to be totaly hones I had a failure at week 7 I think it is because the roots go down in the water and never really get a chance to dry out. I grow tomatoes in mine now becuase they are ok with the roots being in water all the time.

Tristan,

Never used that brand before, but I would but back to 1/2 of the nutes you are feeding for a week and see how the pant responds. From the original pics, it looks healthy (have you grown the strain before?). The plant will let you know what is happening (if its happy or not). Just roll with it and back of the nutes and see how it responds. Also recommend flushing system every week while so young. You could also flush weekly for the duration of your grow to keep it fresher, it wont hurt. 5.8 - 6.3 is a good ph range for hydro grows. Make sure your water is in that range (test after adding nutes). If not, get some ph up/down from a pet store and adjust to get into the correct ph zone. Good luck with the grow!

Now that I see the pump photo I got to say that some of your problem might be the water. That tank is dirty dirty dirty. lol. I have added a underwater cirulation pump to mine. Get one at the pet store in the fish section. The water is being circuated 24/7 and with the air stone in there, I dont see yours, it helps keep the nutes mixed and the oxegyn in the water at all times.

Yeah, I would DEFINITELY recommend an air stone if you don't have on in there. The roots LOVE oxygen. Again, res change every week, back of the nutes or a week, see how she (not sure if you have female seeds, if not, crossing my fingers for you) responds. I always go with less is more when feeding until I am sure everything is cool. The plant will tell you. Just observe and adjust when necessary.

Oh, and if you have not done so yet, get that water changed quick. Maybe change with just fresh h2o, not nutes for a day or so. A good flush.

Ya i would toss those ph test strips and pick up a digital meter. Nutrient absorbtion stops at 6.3 in hydro, if your above that the nutes cannot be absorbed.

Also the dirty water looks like clay dust from the hydro pellets. Did you rise the shit out of the pellets prior to using? if not thats just the dust on the balls. change the water every day for a day or so and it will go away.
