Hydro Growers:
1. Are you growing from seed or clones?
Clone.
2. How old are your plants?
Week 6 of flower.
3. How tall are your plants?
2.5 feet.
4. What type of hydro system are you using?
Coco, one gallon fabric pots, usually with Blumats, but hand watering this time around.
5. What brand/type of nutrients are you using?
Per gallon:
15ml Canna Coco
4ml Bloombastic
3ml PK 13/14
1ml MBFerts Bloom and Trichome
0.5g AgSil
0.25g Whey
6. What is the Ph of your nutrient solution?
5.8-6
7. What is the PPM/EC of your tap water?
RO, so ~10ppm.
8. What is the PPM/EC of your nutrient solution?
1200ppm (Hanna)
9. What is the temperature of your nutrient solution?
Probably 60-62F, give or take. If I leave half for the morning it'll be more like 70-72.
12. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything?
Spray-n-grow, Bill's Perfect Fertilizer, Coco Wet
CA-25, Seaplex, Seagreen, AACT
Aptus Fasilitor and Massboost
Spinosad
Axiom
Bud Factor X
Regalia
13. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights")
4x DE HPS at 1150w or so ("super lumens").
14. How close are your lights to the plants?
3ft.
15. What size is your grow space in square feet?
130sq/ft
16. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space?
75F, 55RH.
17. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space?
Happy little springtails.
18. How much experience do you have growing?
Years, but cycles are typically not back to back.
1250ppm bottled CO2.
Now that that's out of the way, I'm essentially waking up to tops with crispy, distorted leaves, despite those very leaves being perfectly fine the night before. Things were more clearly a phosphorous deficiency earlier in the grow, and watering more often seemed to solve the issue. It came back up, so I upped the phosphorous in my solution and again, it seemed fine; however, it's back again, and this time it seems to be moving faster. Previously a leaf would yellow, black spot down the center, typical; however, this time leaves are dying before they even have a chance to yellow.
I feel like I'm pushing plenty of P, so I have no idea, is Mendo Breath just the hungriest plant in the world? This issue cropped up in previous runs, not quite as bad, but... it's getting hard for me to not just hit them at 5000ppm, and abandon these shit genetics forever. :(
Sour 91 on the side is doing fine, a couple clawed leaves away from the light, presumably due to the nutrient strength, but they're also in 3 gallon fabric pots.
