Awkward Texture and Growth

evu80 · Apr 17, 2012

I've been looking around the forums for answers and couldnt find one that matched my symptoms. My new growth looks really awkward and the texture of the leaves are totally different. Instead of looking lush green, shiny and vibrant, the leaves are droopy, looks dehydrated.

Anyhow best to show a few pictures and hope I can find a quick fix. Temps have been around the mid 70's and RH has been fluctuating between 50 to 70%. PPM has been around 700 with ph starting at 5.6 and ending at 6.5 in three days

Have you noticed any little elongated bugs on your leaves? It looks like your lower leaves have small spots, thrips do that. The adults suck the sap from leaves and shit on them and leave spots. http://myfirstgrow.wordpress.com/2011/02/18/pictures-of-thrips/
Or you could have a micronutrient problem. How is your drainage and what media are you using? What feeding? etc. Your PPMs look a little high and your PH is fluctuating pretty good.

I guess the best thing to do in this case or any most case is to flush it and back off on the feeding regime.

I'm using rockwool cubes and hydroton mix in plastic pots. Watering every other day atm until they increase in size

back down ur ppms for a bit. check ur run off and see how high it is. u have alot of ph swing, try to keep it at 5.8-6.2, adjust it everyday if possible

I agree I think ur ppm's r kinda hot.. I bet the runoff is even hotter.. Give them a good flush
