DAY 57

Hey guys,

Extra air pump work great, She is looking much more happy but i have an another problem i think. Please look at the pictures and tell me what's cause this. I couldn't figured out what it is? The problem is only very young leaves.Bottom leaves are perfect healthy green but the bud shots and leaves are in bad condition.

PPM was 610 morning, now 500 PH was 5.8 in morning now 5.0 i add some ph up and 0,5 L water. All day She drank only 0,5 L before i was adding 1L sometimes more than 1L. So its a good sign she is eating and having fun right now , but what the hell is this soft leaves??

Is that be she suffered O2 last 1-2 weeks?

It's getting worse guys, please help!!!

My Ph is going down really fast 4.8 in half day, so i added more nutes and now her PPM is 750 from 600. Is this acidic water causes this??? I'am not at home all day she is living in this acidic water all day...

so i made a search but doesn't satisfy what i found.

Don't now humidity, but room temp and res temp is ok for her.Enough O2 in the res.Using cool tube for heat stress.So what causes this if these are stabilized.

Using natural spring water from the market.Don't have CAL/MAG. Is it Cal/MAg def.???

HEEELP!!

I wouldnt keep adding nutes to her. You'll just end up adding nute burn to list to fix. If anything I would back down do a proper res change and clean everything with bleach solution. Seems to me like your getting the on sets of slime. I could be wrong but hey. lol.

DAY 60


I changed res with tap water which is waited 24 hours and bubbled. PPM 750 and PH 6.1 Water temp is 17C Room temp 20C. I took out most of the damaged leaves like in the picture.She seems to be well with 850 ppm, in one day she ate 150 ppm.I added 2.5 ml PK 13/14 to 10L res. don't know is it early to add this in this stage of flowering?

I wouldn't worry about the hurt foliage. You have way to much as it is IMO. I would go through here before its too late into flower and trim off all the sun leaves. If you don't like trimming them all i would go and trim all the ones hiding bud sites.

So it seems like doing a res change and cleaning everything helped your ph problem ? If I was you I would look into pond-zyme or something. I say pond-zyme because it seems like its the best route being cheap and super effective everyone says for healthy roots and a clean res.

May even want to tie some off those branches down to get them seperated and let the light in there. It will only help your end yield and overall product if it gets even light.

Here.. read this thread from another website.. Very informative... a lot of the answers you seek can be found in here.

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688

How far away is your light to the tops of your plant? Could there be any type of heat stress? I saw your temp gauge in a pic but it was at the same level as the light. You need a wired temp gauge and have it sitting at the top of the plant to give you an accurate reading.

When you say you do a res change.. Does this involve flushing out your hydroton as well. There could be built up nutrients in there that are blocking other nutes that the plant wants to intake. Your hydroton looks clean though.. So, i'm just curious. cause you should be flushing the medium at least every 2 weeks with ph'd water. I haven't seen or read anything about flushing the system just cleaning the bucket.

good luck, got pretty far along for your first DWC attempt. Be happy

Hey man, thanks about your advices. I only washed my grow medium once till this day. About light, its about 50cm far from the top. There is no fan cause the room is already cold enough (16C day 10C night) and its heating her very nice. Its between 20C to 25C at the top during the day. :-D

Hey guys ,

It's been very very long time from my last post. I've been too busy last month, even i couldn't open the computer. Today is the 107th Day of TD. I started flushing 5 days ago, but still she has green leaves. My last ppm was more than 1000 but don't know the real number cause my cheap ec meter is only read 3 digit. :wall: Well, now ppm is 190, ph 5.8. how long it takes to complete flushing? She has very powerful smell that i can smell from my saloon.
