Whats up everyone!
I recently switched over to flood and drain in my flower room to try and start a perpetual SOG. I have a 40 site recirculating cloner using R/O with nutrient solution at 5.6 ph 200 ppm. After 2 weeks in the cloner all clones had large white roots. I planted them in 5.5" square pots using a medium 50/50 coco/perlite and sprinkled some mycorrhizae in each pot prior to planting.
I put the new clones in the veg room for 3 days giving them 1 feeding at 680 ppm and 5.6 ph (The same nutrient solution Im providing the mothers on drip irrigation to waste system). After the 3 days, I put the best 20 clones in the flower room in my new DIY flood and drain setup. My reservoir is 15 gallon and is recirculated 24/7.
I'm us GH Flora Series, and made a nutrient solution of 1088 ppm 5.6 ph. I was following the feed chart that was provided put lowered the doses some to try in be in the lower range of the ppm scale. I believe that scale ranged between 900-1300ppm. I currently flood the table for 15 minutes, once a day, 30 minutes after lights turn on.
No noticeable changes on day 1 however, when I went to check the plants today I noticed the newer leaves were like a neon green or a very light green. I checked my nutrient solution tested the ppm and the ph. Ppm came back at 1190 with a ph of 6.8.
I added 3 1/2 gallons of fresh R/O to the reservoir and ph'ed the solution back to 5.6 with a new ppm of 830. I then flooded the table for 15 minutes.
I have attached some pictures for review but I'm thinking they might have been over fertilized.
When making up the solution for the 15 gallon reservoir I mixed up all the nutrients with 2 gallons of R/O. Was this wrong to do? Was the amount of nutrients I put in the 2 gallons of water too much?
Should I have just put the nutrients directly into the reservoir first instead of mixing them up?
Thinking back on it when mixing I felt like there was a small white cloud after adding the micro. Could I have caused some sort of nutrient block by doing this? The nutrient solution appears to have a lot of particulates.
Could it be too much light to fast? Coming from led veg room going to 1200 watt hps?
I followed the proper order of putting the nutrients in the bucket
All temps within range across the board.
Any help/guidance would be great.
Thanks
