I did, with nutrients it was sitting at between 6.8-6.9. I started using spring water, which naturally has a slightly high ph than RO water, but I was happy to see it was in/ really close to a good ph.
That’s where ya want it… I woulda guessed it was too low locking out the P and Mag. They are filling out nicely. Hopefully the increase in k helps with your issue, though it doesn’t really appear to be slowing ya down much.
I will say I could notice an explosion in growth after that first heavy feeding. I keep taking pictures of the one cola in detail each day since that one isn’t topped, so that’s been the cola I can look at in detail. Surely the rest will follow suit, at least hopefully.
The droop should lift up eventually
Yea, not too worried unless they’re like that in a day or two.
Nice!
Sorry for the mess of links, I think it’s definitely a potassium deficiency. That being said, potassium is a mobile nutrient so you will see the issue in older lower leaves first and as it progresses it will pull all available potassium from where it’s no longer needed and devote it to newer growth. So that’s what you are seeing when you say it’s eating its leaves. I would suggest that you keep using your bloom nutrients for every watering and be sure to make sure that your ph is in the 5.5 at lowest to 6.5 at highest range. Water slowly until you get runoff. Don’t let them get dry, that will only cause more nutrient uptake issues. I know I over emphasized the watering thing to death at this point, but it’s the easiest way to to create issues with your grow. Either under or overwatering will directly affect the health and vitality of your plants. It’s one of the most important things to grasp when you start growing.
I agree, I think what the issue was is a combination of overwatering in the first few weeks of sprout and then under watering when they’re mature. Also, when I was dealing with fungal gnats all the way back in veg, I bottom watered for a week or two, so I think the soil became hydrophobic. Watering is what I hope to get down by this next grow, since it’s how the plant can grow at a decent rate. I agree with the potassium, hopefully not too much damage is done and I can pump enough food safely.
Looks great a little bit of a breeze, and that can also help combat potential mold or mildew issues as well. Plus you’re turning the air over in the tent so it’s getting fresh air which will have higher co2 levels vs air that sits stagnant. Good
job.
Push em harder, give em what you got!!
Adjusting the amount of micro might be worth a shot, tinkering with the nutrient balance and so on
I’ll do maybe 25% less of the micro tomorrow and see how they respond.
