First DWC grow, does this plant look healthy?

[Marshdoggy]

Hey guys first grow here, sundae punch by elev8 genetics. My ph is around 6 consistently, it’s in the 6th week of veg and I feel like the leaves are a bit wrinkled but I do not know. Any input or questions feel free to ask

What do the roots look like? The leaves may be from the very low humidity.

What ppms are you feeding.

Ppm are around 500 beginning of week. 6 days later at 300. Is my humidity low? And here’s a pic from last weeks roots. Will update tonight

What nutrients are you using?

Running sterile or live? There looks like some root issues.

Humidity should be 60-65% for this stage IMO.

What lights are you using and how close are they?

Ph should be 5.6-6.0. when mixing nutrients lower to 5.6ish and let drift to 6.0 and then ph back down.

How often are you changing the nutrient solution

 

[Marshdoggy]

What nutrients are you using? Florabloom, floramicro, floragro, great white myocorrizae, optimum zenzyme,-and a little bit of Calimagic

Running sterile or live? There looks like some root issues. I had root issues and when I added the great white, as well as two more air stones, all new root growth has been bright white

Humidity should be 60-65% for this stage IMO. I will try out my humidifier to bump it up

What lights are you using and how close are they?im running 2 230w actual led cob lights at around 18 inch away

Ph should be 5.6-6.0. when mixing nutrients lower to 5.6ish and let drift to 6.0 and then ph back down.

How often are you changing the nutrient solution changing nutes every 7 days

I think those might be a bit to close... What your light cycle? Do you have an Android phone?

Makes sense on the roots. I would top feed once a day for a bit just to allow the enzymes and bacteria to clean up that spot and colonize the upper rootzone and media. By top feed I just mean pour a little of the nutrient solution from the top by hand. Good practice once a week or so just to flush out any salt buildup or in this case daily just to innoculate and treat roots and media. New roots look great.

You don't want the humidifier in the tent. Use it in the room the tent is in if possible.

Thanks for the help! The plants have been growing up towards light so it’s the closest they have been. I will start to top feed daily. I’ve been on an 18 6 since the start. I have an iPhone I can send you more pictures of roots tonight I have a res change if you’d like

Reason I asked is there is an app you can use for Android. I would back the lights up to 30" and see how they respond. They are on full power? Also up humidity of ya can.

They are full power, and I’ll try to run my humidifier tonight and see if my leaves moisten up

Don't run it at night... Only need it for lights on. Plants don't transpire at night.

I have a lux meter on my iPhone now. Do you know an optimal value

18/6? Probably 35k would be good for now and see how they respond. You can try to push slowly up to 45k. Flower 65k and your golden

Update on reservoir change. Some pictures attached. All new roots look white, old part is still brownish, but as aqua man suggested I top fed to hopefully clean some of that up. Moved lights to 30 inches. Waiting for ppm and ph to settle and will update later. When I measured in bucket I had 5.91ph and when I added to reservoir jumped to 6.1

Would bring ph down to 5.6 if ya can.

Humidity would be a welcome change for the plant also

Have the humidifier set up we’re going to see how it goes in the coming days

Here’s some pics of some leaves I feel may be showing something. Not sure what. Could be calcium or magnesium?

Rust spots on outer edge of leaves. Seems to be older leaves

The first picture is magnesium deficiency .

this second picture is calcium deficiency

Perhaps you could run a test on a few leafs and foliar spray with cal mag combo.

If that does not work , maybe try sterolyzing by wiping down some of the plumbing .

Also a newbie myself . Getting my medical card in a few weeks . I am running experiments on house plants right now for practice . You might set up a second very small system to run experiments on before making changes on big system.

It's going to get worse before it gets better. Any leaves with damage on them will continue to look worse. In other words any damaged leaf will not get better only worse. Pay attention to new growth and give it 4-5 days to see some improvement after the change.
