Tough times ahead if i cant get some answers ! Please !! Lil help here for the novice ..... Im running MK ! Ive got 24 in a Ebb and Flow System :mrgreen: 18 ON 6 OFF in my first two weeks and i cant tell if im over or under feeding .... Lights on at 6pm , I have the timer set for first feed at 830pm for 15 minutes a hour and a half after they turn on ...I dont feed again till 1030am , a hour and a half before the lights go off .... Crispy ends and every time a new set of leaves comes out they seem to go yellow after the first two days or so .. Im struggling ..... No Nutes yet and running R.O. water for taste and potency ... Right ?


From my understanding this particular strain likes to stay dry ???? PLEASE ADVISE !


This is my 3rd year and Ive never had any issues till I put these girls in :cry:

Hydroton .. Ive also put some paper plates down to deter the heat thinking that could be part of the equation ? Your thoughts ? Thank You

Here we go ... These girls were fed one hour before pics for fifteen minutes 7:00pm...... HELP ! They look alright but not as good as they should ? Notice the burnt edges on the older growth...also color is a issue...Maybe the R.O. water ? If so what enzyme should i run ? 842.jpg849.jpg845.jpg847.jpg

feed them as the lights come on, the moment lights on the plant comes alive and needs water and food instantly, also feed right before lights out. looks like the plants are begging for you to up the nutrient strength, that lime green means more N is needed , looking for a dark green. i just read that your 2 weeks in an no nutes yet just RO water? with RO water you should run a cal-mag supplement, botanicare's cal-mag is perfect

You are starving your plants. I have always ran a drip system and my feed pump goes on when the lights go on and comes off when the lights go off. I use the FHD bucket system and their 8 week feeding plan with their Plant life products. Have hooked up a couple of begginer freinds on this and it seems to be easy and gives them a constant success.View attachment 1034255

I put them on a reg feeding schedule as far as nutes go in the third week just to let them snap out of a lil shock ? I though at first that it might of had to do with the inoculate that I had used ? They have feed three times in the last 36 hours and seem to be doing a ton better :) But Im sure the Cal Mag had a lot to do with it ..THANKS MORRIS ! And a lil tip from GRO ..... RIGHT ON ! I knew they were lacking , I was in a quandary about the specifics on these short phenol strain running hydro .... But i would like to think all is well but we know better.... LOL if it not one its the other ... At least at this stage . I give six months and Ill have most issues ironed out ... DO TO THIS THREAD ! Happy to be a part and grateful I get answers with results ..... I need to open your attachment Roadguy so I can look at your schedule ... BUT it wont open WTF ? Ive tried ? Maybe send it again ? Let me know please and Thanks ...
