LSD25, Green Crack, AK47, Strawberry Cheese. Autos in DWC

Group pic.

AK is leading in growth. Funny, because it's my oldest seed. Bought in 2018 from ILGM.

Taproot is out of the net pot on all but the Strawberry Cheese. Still holding 500ppm. Did have to raise the light a little. The GC and AK were starting to curl a little. Went from 34" to 36". They're happy again.

Nice light setup! Very nice work! You get some deep/far reds in the mix and maybe some UVB for last 2 weeks of flower to increase quality of product....

What nutrients you using?

I've been thinking about taking this one apart and turning it into 2 separate fixtures. Each fixture would get 4 QB132s, and some combination of more red.

Tap water, Jack's 321, and hydroguard. Using pH down until I run Jack's at full strength.

And thank you.

AK has some white spots. Has since it cracked. They are there from the beginning of growth on each leaf. Checked for spider mites. No evidence. They aren't from leaf miners. The spots don't grow. pH has been stable 5.8-5.9. Roots look good. Tent only fluctuates 12° over 24hrs. Thrips maybe? Just the way she grows? Jacks321 at half strength and tap water.

Might be thirps.....I had them once and it looked exactly like that. I used a organic product called Maggie's Farm 3 in 1 spray......it has no pesticides at all, it's effective and it smells awesome!! It also works as a great preventive measure to keep all bugs away!

if your sure all other parameters are in check....it's thirps

Right on. Thanks. I'll have to break out the magnifier a little early in this grow.

I hear ya, but the good news is thrips are pretty easy to get rid of......could have been worse, like spidermites in which case you have to torch the place to the ground, and move to another state to be sure they don't follow and find you!!

Ya know if ya don't find anything with your scope, that could possibly be your Ph being a little on the high side maybe....you running higher than 6.2? Tap can have buffers or bicarbonates in it that like to hold the ph levels at around 7.0.....but you used this water with previous grows I assume......

pH has been holding 5.8 pretty steady. Been testing with multiple meters. Yeah, it's the same water I alway use. Couldn't find my scope yesterday. LOL. I'll try to get it sorted today.

I bought some organic spray from a local place. I'll watch the leaves for new spots.

The spots are on the AK. She's the biggest so far, but her taproot is just barely peeking out of the net pot. The other three have started building nice root systems in the reservoirs.

They've all got it now. Not sure that it's thrips anymore.

Underside.

I'm going to do full res change outs today.

It may have been thrips, but I definitely had a cal/mag deficiency and some root rot going. Hit them all with a few ml of cal/mag per gallon and additional hydroguard during res change. The problem has stopped. All new growth looks great and the roots are almost all white again.

Pics are the green crack and then the group.

The LSD.

30 days from seed. Did a light defoliation today.

The GC couldn't handle full strength Jack's. I had to dial her back to around 800ppm. The other 3 are at 1000ppm. I stopped adjusting pH just to see what happens. I keep reading conflicting reports about how to manage pH with Jack's. They've been sitting at 6.2-6.3 for a week now with no issues.
