First run in a DIY UC. My plants are about 2.5 weeks into veg in this UC system. They went in at about 5" tall. Roots poked out in just a few days and growth seemed to be taking off. In the last week it seems that alll growth has come to a halt. And just in the past few days the leaves have begun to dry out and crinkle (see pics from today). Root growth has just about stopped. Roots appear crystal white on all plants (this pic makes them look a little brown, but they are white).
We think these plants shoud be twice as tall 2.5 weeks into a UC veg!
Here are the vitals:
100 gallon DIY UC
5.5 inch net pots with Hydroton
Hydrologic RO with sediment prefilter. RO water comes out at 0 PPM. (Well water to start at 240ppm, very hard, stinky, rusty!)
PH in UC stable 6.2
250 PPM DM A & B. Started plants at about 165ppm.
1.5 ml Zone/gallon
Room temp range 75-82
Res temp range 64-68 (chiller)
Humidity range 35-50%
My plants in my Hempy buckets are doing well. We cant seem to figure it out. We are kindof leaning toward our well water. It does go through the RO systems and comes out at 0 ppm.
Or maybe root aphids. We do see a few very small bugs flying around every once in a while. We never see any on the leaves themselves or on the roots.
Has anybody had issues with well water and RO?? Someone said that we may be taking all of the needed nutes out of the water to start??
I dont know??
