I currently have 2 tents running, a 5x5 with 4 Sensi Star (from seed), and a 5x10 with a mix of Sensi Star (from seed) and Pure Kush (clones). I keep track of absolutely everything I do/change in both rooms, so I know where I went wrong, but I really can't figure this out!?
Both Tents are DWC
Temps in both tents were at 78 degrees Farenheit (until I had to turn my heat on..went up to 83 in the day or two before drooping - tents have since dropped back to 78 as I've shut my heat off and will FREEZE if it keeps them alive until I get something to block the vents in the basement)
I have air stones in ALL buckets, and multiple air stones in each res.
In the 5x5:
Plants were doing amazing with a little CO2 added until about week 1 of veg, CO2 was moved into the 5x10 as I only have one tank currently. The day I did res change, when CO2 had been missing for approx 3-4 days (but still getting little CO2 passive from 5x10 Tent), plants started drooping VERY slightly. After res change - I made a big mistake by adding straight cold water, so I assumed that was the shock. I left them with low nutes 1:1:1 Grow:Micro:Bloom approx 300 ppm. Still drooping, now the bottom leaves are turning yellow (N Def). I've tried upping the nutes to deal with the deficiency, but that seems to have just made them worse. I've since then did a complete flush out. The roots are yellowing and a bit slimy so I did an H202 rinse, then another res change and added a little Flora Shield but still no help with the drooping. Plants are probably days away from death now. Pumps are on full time, but have been since day 1 and had no affect on them before removing CO2.
In the 5x10: Plants not getting CO2 as I found there was a leak in my tank - I don't have a CO2 monitor yet and didn't want to chance an Overdose of CO2...for the plants OR me
All plants have been doing great until yesterday, getting fresh nutes every 2-3 days because ppm's kept drooping. When I hit 550ppm (yesterday) plants..clones mainly..started drooping and have leaves that are starting to look a little wrinkly..The Sensi Stars are also a little wrinkly, but no drooping. Res change was due so I've changed the water and did a straight flush out.. I will be adding nutes tonight but when looking at them this morning, the drooping of the clones has become wayyy worse. Top Feed Pumps are on a 5 min on 1 hour off timer. Was doing a 1:1:1 ratio of G:M:B, until plants started showing signs of Magnesium Def about a week ago, so then 1:1:1:0.5 G:M:B:Cal Mag
I will post pics of both tents as soon as I possibly can!
Please if you have any ideas or need more information I need to save these plants - I know the 5x5 is pretty much shot, but the 5x10 has some BEAUTIFUL clones that I'm definately not ready to give up on yet!
I had this problem with my last grow of 8 Ball Kush but H2O2 brought them right around after they started getting root rot, now I don't know just what to do!? Lights are off right now so I'd really like to have some kind of plan before they come on again in 5 1/2 hours.
