OK well left the plants in the prop, sort of dwc untill we get the tubes built, swapped out the solution the other day and they all picked up, now we are on 430ppm ph5.9 light still the cls 300w 18/6 and the plants some have tiny little brown spots and two have a leaf twist, thoughts and help please....IMG_0851.jpgIMG_0852.jpgIMG_0853.jpgIMG_0854.jpgIMG_0855.jpgIMG_0856.jpgIMG_0857.jpgIMG_0858.jpgIMG_0860.jpg

Ahh so that is nute burn, I thought I had the lamp too low, bummer, Nutes were only running at 300 at the time, do I just ignore it, I have the nutes, still on Canna Start, at about 430ppm, ph 5.8.

If you look at the others pics, closly I think there is other tiny brown spots, is this ok?

Thanks for input, it really is appreciated

Well were growing, finally, a mix of dwc, aero, now a recurculating dwc, worried about roots clogging this one up, but we will see.

Well not too sure about what happened finally, they were doing fine, I was looking with a scope, but could not see the trikes change, ok found a few brown, but I was getting yellow leaves at this stage.


So 4 days h2o and that about wrapped it, but just didnt feel it meat it;'s potential, 12 plants and producing 800g, mediocre at best.


Next 12 in the flowering room already, again these in dwc, switched to a slow crculating system, and they look a lot happier.


Another 24, Umm... a few look good but some just look at if they have been given a good kicking, BUT Good news is that I got enough clones to stay alive to fire the tubes up properly, ROCK and ROLL, only day three with 42 clones loaded, still half empty, but looking good, they seem well happy, worried as Pump is down stairs, that we will have a power cut, and not had time to put any monitoring in yet. So wondering about runnig a seperate pump in a lower level in the barrel from the other, and seeing if I could get a slow trickle running permantly down the tubes, runing them up gently, nuted about 420 ppm, now and lights 300w clf, and a mh spaced well back, burnt a few and trying to run it up slowly, thinking about getting a few dimmable ballasts, for the starting period.


It has a 200l tank, so hopefully it should be stablilised, no drift atm, 5.8 all the way through. Fair bit of noise from the return flow, but this I can live with, maybe float something on the surface?


Not got in to the trimming, or fimming yet, worried as still losing half my clones, It will get to the point soon when I don't have to worry too much, I have one of those 120 aero clone things, and if I can keep 70 alive it will fill the machine.


A little worried atm, as buyer just got busted for an offence three years ago, I think he has my phone number, but that is all, just hope text were clean, I cant remember, deleted already, bummer... He I dropped the first lot, off and now most of there little crew have been picked up, can they get prints from the inside of boxes? Did I leave any there, Umm...


Take care, and look forward to your reply as always.
