I only missed the one feeding but its been two days now and the stems have perked back up by the fan leaves are still dropping on the that are still droopy. The ones that have perked up, the fan leaves are curling inwards and clawing and I wasnt sure if that was normal after they've been severely dehydrated. Also if I give them a flush, should it be PH'ed water??
Yeah its rock wool and I did kinda hit them with a heavy feeding immediately....I have a dual feeding for the tables and they just missed the one feeding, but the impact was extremely detrimental and this is the first time out of my 8ish grows this has happened. Will the fan leaves ever return to normal or are they pretty shot now as well??
Also how long should I give them straight water for?? Just one feeding??
Damn. Well I appreciate the knowledge and info. I may reply later if i have any further questions. Thank you!
Week 4 for one table and week 6 for the other. The week six table is getting close to harvest since the trics are now just starting to milk over and the other table just finished its stretching week.
I'm also running LEDs. 2 600w's and 1 300w. I bleach burned one of the ladies on the 6 week table so I'm thinking she is gone since she was pretty much just holding on. Tonight I will post pics when the lights kick on though.
I'm sure they weren't completely dry, just they were super wilted and lifeless...I just flushed them with the ph'ed water but since the table with 5 on them are probably a week or so away from harvest, it just obliterated them and the table with the 4 were just finishing their 3rd week...I'm quite certain they weren't dead since the kolas have perked up but the fan leaves are still crappy and wilt looking...will the fan leaves get better or will they look like crap the entire time?
Holy. Shit. How did i not notice the lack of root mass? Good eyes and a good question!
When I transplant in to flower, I set the rock wool on a cotton badding to let the roots attach to it. Plus then it traps more moisture and typically keeps the roots a bit more wet over longer periods.
What i was trying to get at was that normally when i see somebody run NFT or any kind of flood tables I'm used to seeing a big carpet of roots in the bottom of the tray. Like this...
So I know this is a fairly stupid question and I should know better, but in regards to the roots, is it better to have them get big as hell rather then small and confined? I haven't had any issues with the way I've grown, minus the missed feeding, but would it be more beneficial for them to be covered and to travel??
