oh and just to throw the last pic in. 2 shots of some of my blue dream harvest the outher week.20130830_190542.jpg20130830_190616.jpg
 
Also give flush half our ago and run off was 5.9 and 5.8 in outher .
Gave anouther flush checkd run off and it 6.1 same as what I put in
 
At first site I to think nitrogen deficiency but looks more like iron deficiencyto me..View attachment 2809179

Solution: Iron deficiencies are very uncommon as long as the pH is kept below 6.5 (5.7 for hydroponic or rockwool). Too much Phosphorus can also lock up iron. The best thing you can do is check the pH of your system, and then flush the system with clean pH'd water that contains nutrients at half strength to start, then start working your way up to full nutrient strength. It's worthwhile to note that iron has a tendency to react with many other components of fertilizer solutions and can cause other nutrients to be locked up from the plant. When supplementing your plant with iron, it is often necessary to not use fertilizer for that watering. If you are supplementing with iron, make sure you first read the label of both the fertilizer and the iron supplement you are using to minimize any problems.

Hope this helps man.
 
up the e.c!

i never let the e.c drop below 1.0 when they are past the seedling stage.

also helps to let the coco dry up slightly between waterings
 
i use canna a+b too, often over 2.0 ec, it is tough to burn plants with. use it at 4ml/l and it will make your plants very happy.

up the e.c!

i never let the e.c drop below 1.0 when they are past the seedling stage.

I think it is under feeding as. I posted a link underneath.. this is first time doing a drip system practicing on my two mothers.
The knowlage I have got is never let coco dry out.
Im going to take drip emmiters off and get a one minute timer run to waste
2-3 times a day
 
I am going to up the e.c.. I always have done in the past.
Some nice lush green leaves there. How many week veg is that?
 
What ghb said maybe also I use general hydroponics flora series + cal-mag + h2o2 + floralicious plus in coco. I do have a EC meter but have never used it, never had any problems or big problems anyways other than 2 hempys back when I used seeds.
 
that is 6 weeks from seed but that only tells half the story, i have 22 plants under a 150w cfl they grow slowly but nice all the same.



don't let it dry out, just don't keep it constantly wet, looking at all your pics they are saturated, leave a day or two between watering if you can and the added oxygen will ensure a healthier root mass and therefore healthier plants.

hey your the one posting saying you have problems, looking at the pics i would agree. if you listen to me you will have healthier plants, just saying.


look how dry the coco is on this 5 week BLUE CHEESE

Yes I agree on what your saying. I have had sevrel succesful coco grows feeding 2-3 days then a water 2-3days after and so on. Leave to drybout a bit for oxygen. But im just curious, on the run to waste system. People have said that when flooding your plants with a fresh nute solution several times a day with air stone in res. Will constantly give fresh oxygen supply..
What should I up my e.c to. 1.0? and work from there? They are about 3 week veg upto now.

and ill flood once a day? Or ever outher day?
 
look it's up to you what you choose to do in your garden, i may have come of as a dick on the last post but i am simply saying that when doing anything why would you want to make things more complex and more didfficult than it has to be?.

i think starting at 1.0ec is wise, do it for a week then see how they look.

try every other day til they get a big root system.

and yes, an airstone will supply them with extra oxygen so they will be able to take being wetter for longer. it is the drying out that helps the roots fill out the entire pot imo, if kept constantly wet the roots will tend to stay at the bottom and never really fill the pot out.


keep us posted on your results.
 
I use a air stone and h2o2 in my res the roots love it ! there barneys, there's 16 Im a greedy whore 16 plants and only 2 600 hps lights plus a led and some bottom tube lights.. wish I had more light but fuck it my light bill is high as I am. plus I have another 600 in with the clones dimmed down.
 
i only use h202 if there is a problem in my res, my coco is very much alive so i try not to kill the micro organisms by adding that stuff. i hand feed too

my barneys blue cheese was a yielder but was not cheesey at all, yours looks like a good pheno alaska, smell much?
 
Ok cheers for the help. Just anouther new system. Like you said earlyer why make it harder than it is .KISS
im goin to up the e.c and just flood once a day. See how it goes if not every 2 days. Ill post back in a few days with new pics if they pick up.
they should!
 
I dont have the room for hand feeding..
No cheese teate with my plants ether, The smell really strong I'm using 2 big chorcoal filters and still a little smell, but in the fall and winter I do not vert outside fuel oil cost to much, I lovez me heat when its -40 F outside.
I just started adding 30 ml of h2o2 to my 20 gal res when I changed water it really helped me with slime in the tank "much cleaner".
I've been growing for years but I leard on my own some i'm sure I do some stuff wrong but works good for me.
