I just abused the clones again and took off all there fan leafs and lower growth off
@jb420710 What is your current watering schedule?I just topped and stripped all the seedlings in the 6in cubes yesterday, but here’s how everything’s looking! I got my hydro x pro yesterday and the irrigation system should be here next week.
And I’ve been hand watering them when ever They feel dry Athena pro line 2.7-3.0 ec 5.6-5.8 ph@jb420710 What is your current watering schedule?
If it’s flood and drain how often and what PH & ppm?
Lower your EC significantly, I had a feeling something was up from the algae building up faster than the plants grow.And I’ve been hand watering them when ever They feel dry Athena pro line 2.7-3.0 ec 5.6-5.8 ph
^ this. Although, with the flush, don't use straight pHed water. Always flush with a mild nutrient solution, 0.2 - 0.3 EC. Hitting them with straight water will cause further issues, especially with such a drastic shift from 3.0 EC to 0.1 or less. Once the runoff is equal to input, then you can feed again, and certainly not at the levels you are currently. That's WAY too hot. Hell, I'm on day 20 of flower with incredibly rapid growth and am barely at 1.8 EC and have no intentions of going higher. The plants are healthy as can be and vigorous as all get out.Lower your EC significantly, I had a feeling something was up from the algae building up faster than the plants grow.
Wait for @Dirtbag or someone else with more experience than me to confirm, but;
You likely have a lot of unused salts built up in your Rockwool and will need to flush them out well with just PH’d water, then feed a very light feeding around 0.6-0.8
I would personally feed them in the 0.8-1.0 EC range for plants that small until they are more established (1-2 weeks) then gradually raise the EC and monitor the runoff.
Slowly build up to the 1.4-1.6 range but that should be the most the plants can eat for a lot of the cycle, don’t hit close those numbers until there is vigorous growth.
Ph around 5.8-6.0 might be a better range
Stop taking leaves off or topping as well for 2 weeks, it will only stress out the plants and further slow down growth.
Great point! I agree with @tobh^ this. Although, with the flush, don't use straight pHed water. Always flush with a mild nutrient solution, 0.2 - 0.3 EC.

The ec of 3.0 is getting pushed by a few different companies. Athena is pushing it but it came from aroya. Aroya it the real company behind the high EC push. And it works if done correctly.Here’s a visual reference of tobh plants that are thriving at 1.8 EC
What are you running for humidity?I’m not going to flush or change my ec yet. I now have equipment to monitor my environment, and to get my lights at the right height. My irrigation system and moisture content meter will be here soon, I’m in no rush, I’m fine with how there growing considering how terrible my environment was. My room ain’t even fully built yet. Once I fix all those problems and still having issues I’ll try that.
It was at 30% when I plugged in the troll master yesterday.. i haven’t had anything to measure humidity or temperature till yesterday lolWhat are you running for humidity?
