Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. As the OP mentioned, s/he is NOT using soil. In fact MOST weed growers that say they are 'dirt farmers' are using SOILESS mediums. If you don't have things like CLAY and SAND in your mix, you are NOT using soil and should be using the soiless pH range...

Looks like you are in flower, eh? A good indicator on a Ca def is to look for two different colors on the spots you are describing, namely a circle of a lighter color surrounded by a ring of a rust or brown color. I agree with Miss Seamaiden of the semi-creepy avatar on two points: Give us...

Yea, sometimes I do the Catholic Nuns proud. I often make up my own words and grammar to annoy them too, and my spelling and proofreading skills, well ... I take pride in your notice of my page breaks - I am a loquacious, long-winded bastard and those are key to not drowning people in...

Well, nobody else is answering, so I will. 5.1-5.3 as a starting point for veg nutes. Let it rise to 5.9-6.1 and then dump and change it out. No higher than about 6.3 in flower. Avoid using pH Up & Down to do this. As far as EC, that all depends. Strain is less important than some make...

One plant? LST. There is a difference between LST and SCROG, concerning hormonal release in the plant. Sometimes achieved in SCROG, but incidentally, whereas with LST, it is intentional, with every branch trained. Most of the tutorials about LST are spin-offs and actually don't describe what...

Don't look at it that way. Hydro is way easier than people like to make it. There is also a bunch of incorrect information about it out there and satellite grow systems, like yours, that are designed to farm money out of your pocket more than they are to farm Sweet Lady Jane out of your grow...

They do indeed show some issues. I am assuming they were started in the clay pellets when you got them. This is nothing more than what may be some nice folks at that collective, but, well, I wouldn't consult them for grow advice. Those are plants that were in the wrong pH solution with the wrong...

Why don't you give us an update, if you are still around on this site. I have a bunch of different advice. Give more info, first. How many plants, the size of your grow tent, light, temp and humidity. You have some fundamental flaws in your growing system, use of growing space, nutrient...

A last follow up, I posted those specific pics, as in just a few pictures, I could show three different grow systems (RDWC, E&F, PPV), 5 different light setups, and various states of veg of 50-60 different strains including clones. And not to hijack threads with my pics, but because the things...

Yea, it is in my post #8 above. I got all cute with it and it is the light green sentence beginning, " Don't feel like typing ..." I'll give myself a D- for link delivery...

I'm not fired up about it, just trying to steer somebody in the right direction on correcting their issues and try to help him/her harvest the most amount of highest quality bud they can for their grow space, strain and skill level. Following your advice will do the opposite. No 'nice' way to...

I'm not trying to be confrontational here, fractal, and I am not really going to go into detail as to why people have bottles of Cal/Mag in their growroom, unnecessarily. Click on that thread, dude. Look at the pics of the 50-60 different strains I posted. Now, all this talk we hear about ye...

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, that second pic screams pH issues, providing the color I am seeing on my screen is accurate. Pro-mix, mixed with more perlite (a good thing). Welcome to the world of hand watered hydroponic farming using a peat/perlite/vermiculite growing media...

This is where I would start. Gone this far, not having a RO filter can cause problems. 180 ppm ain't bad, but what is it? What is the pH? A big, big thing I want to know is if that pH is adjusted to with adjusters and then maintained at 5.8-5.9 for the life of the tub?

A couple last caveats before I forget; For all of my talk about how easy it is to run multiple strains in a high performance system (like vertically lit RWDC) with the proper proportion of nutrients, additives, etc. (I have grown, at least through veg with all of them, over 80 strains). Most...

One of many trays of fully rooted clones from mothers most would tell you is a bad pH range and way too low. I didn't have any problems fully rooting 100% of my clones pulled from all those different mothers in a very short period of time. Those are freshly rooted clones, not fresh cuttings...

These next few are from a 10,000 watt mother room I had. You will see probably over 50 strains in those pics. RWDC, E&F, and the good 'ol PPV that people wrongly call and treat like soil. All on the same pH, nute regime, etc., (obviously adjusted for strength, but same proportions of nutes in...

Well CrazyCat72, if those two digits refer to what they usually do, then in addition to the Cat part, we share the same birth year. People can still feel free to pick apart my posts and tell you I am full of shit, won't ruffle my feathers. So, after seeing you thank me, even though I just...

If you have more than one issue occurring, things can get confusing. Further, a nutrient deficiency can occur, even though there are plenty available in the growing media. What do you call soil? 'Cause what most farmers call soil, ain't. If you tell me that the 60-70% is mostly peat, I am...

A couple more quick things: I think GH 3 part is a great nute for beginner hydro growers. This is not to say it is a 'beginners' nute and as you progress in experience you will automatically discard it and switch to something else. It is just an easy nute to work with for providing all of...
