Guess I like to experience ALL the problems I can,in 1 grow. Not really,shits just happnin'. this time I dunno. Shock from nute burn or shock from SHOCK?
Mixxing nutes the other night while standing in a little water,stuck my hand in the res and WTF...got a bit of a shock. Discovered this only went away by unplugging my 300 watt heater thats in the res.. Is this f'n up my nutes?
Had probs at the beginning with ph issues due to UNWASHED Hydroton.FIXED that.
Then Cal-Mag def. with tap water. Cal-Mag at 2.5 ml/gal and upped my nutes to full strength (PBP @ 15 ml/gal fixed that. Holy shit girls were growing like freakin' crazy. PPM's 1080-1160. 12 gals/day and PPM's dropping around 50 a day.
At the flip,I thought I may still have a slight cal-mag issue so I increased to 3/4 strength. I also added roots excel @ 1 ml/gal AND Bud Ignightor @ (don't remember and my notes r not here w/me) whatever is on the bottle.I did lower PBP a little but with additives around 1300 PPM's.
For the next wk my girls stopped eating and mostly just takeing water.I would add water to knock the ppm's down but the next day,same thing.
I wasn't seein' the burn coming from the bottom cuz they're kinda big(6') and I wasn't getting "underneath" to look.When I did...SHIT, NUTE BURN like a mo fo. Tops looked GREAT but death is comeing from below,and movin fast. I'm thinkin' TOO MUCH N from Cal-Mag AND Roots Excel.
Did a 24 hr flush with Clearex and changed the res. This time PBP at 12.5 ml/gal and Cal-Mag @ 1/2 strength. For the last week they're just not eating,water only.MAYBE a little food. PPM's going up about 50 a day drinking 6 gals/day. Beginning ppm=953,day 2=914ppm,day 3=950. Added water to bring to 850 ppm. Next day=950 ppm AGAIN. Empty a bit of res fluid and water down to around 750 ppm. Been 1 wk since res change and still went up 50-60 ppm but,they drank 9 gals so I'd say they ate a little. We'll see what tonight brings. Just wondering if the electricic leak is zappin' my nutes.
Funny thing is,by looking at the ladies, I can't tell shit.They r BEA utiful. Stretch like crazy though first 2 wks of flip.
