Bad start how will it finish???

jballs · Dec 14, 2009

Ok so to start out I got 47 urples and most of them had not taken and would not infested with mites. Then I went back and got sum to replace what was not dead or so infested it would not come back. Then where I live the water PH is 8.3 & The TDS is 600 so I decided to get IONIC nutrient for hard water. I ended up getting sulfur deficiency all the new growth is super yellow. I ditched the IONIC and tap water & am now using Botanicare pure blend & Aquaschield. I am growing in a 4X4X6.5 grow tent, 600 HPS, 274cfm vent fan, 3X3 ebb flow Rockwool flood & drain. I have 2 Blueberry Hash Plant, 2 Mango x Widow cross, 31 Urples all clones. I killed the mites neem oil & safe soap, I applied it every other day for almost a week now one more spray in the morning and I think that will do it. My temps in the ten is 70*-75* all the time, my rez temp is 60*, TDS 750, PH 5.8-6.3. I dub this the start from hell never have I had such problems with growing LOL life will go on and I will prevail with thumping ass buds or my name is not JBALS lol. Fill free to post I dont mind!!!! I encourage it !!!!!!!!
Thank you all.

Well I have had many problems since I started spider mites, nutrient problems, and last but not least toxic grow tent. All thing are super now I am using Botanicare Pure BlendPro nutrient and got rid of the old grow tent. I am running 880TDS &my PH is 6.0 room temps are running around 70-75F. The plants look so mutch better now that I took down the tent it has been around 4 days and all the yellowing is going away. All the new growth is lush and green things are right back on track. My new tent is on the way and will be here on WED. As quick as I get the tent up I will be switching to 12-12. If you get a grow tent and you notice that the tops of your plants start to turn yellow and it proceeds down the plan you could have a toxic grow hut use my first pics as a reference to the following. My new pics are super just like new plants hell ya. Enjoy and remember I dont mind questions or comments Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! :hump:

Things are ok looking super now TDS1115 PH5.8-6.0 drift, got rid of the mites and now have a small problem with root aphids right now. I am using GONATS & it seams to be taking care of it. All in all things are way better than when i started as you can see. This is the most shit start ever. I have a friend that pretends that he can grow and kills every thing he gits his hands on, I thought he had rubbed off on me LOL. Let me no what you all think.
Thanks

Things are still looking good things ar taking off nicely. I am going to go and git sum Hydroplex to help things along. I am running 1100 tds & ph is 5.8 room temp still 75* in the day and 60* at night. Thanks and happy growing to all.

jballs · Jan 22, 2010

I think it is till looking good i started to push them a little hard at 1300PPM over kill just a bit caught it right away. I am running 950TDS right now for the next half week or so. Still battling root aphids using GOGNATS and it is not doing the job. I am going to try one of 2 things beneficial nematodes or concentrate pyrethrin in the rez. If any one has an opinion or experience on this matter let me no.
Thank you as all ways fill free to post. :leaf:
