I agree with whoever said overnute problem if ph is normal (5.7 is perfect if you've been keeping it stable.) 84 degrees isn't going to do that to your plants unless you put something on them like an antifungal or spray or something and didn't pull back your lights. I'm guessing overnute...

i must say....and not trying to be rude....it really amazes how many people won't bother with or refuse to check and follow something as simple and important as water and soil ph. Web Gallery Wizard™

PS....If your soil soil is two or three inches dry.....I rest my case. :)

And just WHO do you think I learned that information from Ms KindPrincess?? Kiss that beautiful pup of yours for me. I'll write.. ;)

If your runoff is low.....and the water going in is normal.....the issue is in your soil. I don't consider 5.7 an ok ph for growing in soil. It should be 6.2-6.8.....both the water and the soil runoff. Growgirl, yes flush.....I like the idea of flushing with 7.0 water but I wouldn't go above...

I love you......:mrgreen:

check ph.....

That sounds good....keep an eye and make sure the new growth comes in healthy looking. good luck. :)

Correct ph for both soil runoff and your water should 6.2-6.8. i'm pretty sure that's your problem.

Yes.....drop your ph to 5.6-6.0 and don't let it wander outside that range. i think your problems will go away if you do. What kind of nutes are you using and how many ppms?

Yes....I'd give them at least one more grow feeding and more if you have the time.....low strength.....before turning them. ;)

You're welcome....next time you water them. give them 1/4 strength dose of nutes in ph correct water and see what they do with it. If they act happy (and I think they will) you can work the nutes up slowly from there. PS....SLOWLY is your key here....its ALOT harder to fix nute burn in a plant...

That is probably a good idea.....flush with ph correct water and check the ph of the runoff coming out the bottom.....make sure they are the same (if not...flush until they are). Good luck. :)

If you are growing in rockwool....your ph should be between 5.6-6.0. I have a feeling your ph is too much on the edge and you are locking out nutes. Drop it to the above number if the media you are growing in is not soil.

I'd be turning my leaves over at that temp as well.....:mrgreen: :peace:

My friend has also done this....as an expirement.....02 pumped in under pressiure (3x amount the plant would receive normally in a hydro app) WILL cause explosive growth (ha ha pun intended)In fact he said the plants just went NUTS with growing. But since he used to grow for hydroponic food...

root/shoot ratios and media/biomass ratios are different in hydro than in soil. What does this mean? I have no clue. But I got this info from someones who knows his shit and when I told him what you were doing he said yes....quite possible in hydro due to the statement above. Went on to say he...

It does make me wonder about room temps.....are the leaves turning over to try and cool off? The other is the lamp being too FAR away...causing weak stems etc... Both these were already mentioned.....I just said them again to look smart. :D

I agree with w33....in my opinion it doesn't make any difference really if you water them with a gallon or 2 cups etc as long as you have good drainager which is VERY important. Keepin them CONSTANTLY moist creates the issues. Let them dry out before you water again...then recheck soil runoff.
