Ppm 1000 ph 6.2 now.
20ml per gal calmag(was 10)
10ml per gal micro
15ml per gal grow
5ml per gal bloom
10ml per gal hydroguard
30ppm filtered water. I add mix in that order. Then dilute to 1000ppm.
Using cool mist humidifier due to warm mist heated the tent over 80 degrees. Tsl 2000 2×4 tent. 72 degrees lights off, 74 at 75% where im at, and 79 at 100%. . humidifier reads 40% with cool mist and 50% with warm mist which isnt used.
It sprouted on Feb 4th. Everything was fine until the leafs started getting bigger about a week ago. Once the leaf gets big, it dies. This is the second set that is doing it. I adjusted ph from 5.5 up to 6.3 due to a friend. He said it was a ph imbalance because I was running at 5.5. He told me it could take up to 10 days for the problem to go away. Hes never done dwc though and this is MY FIRST GROW.
For me it seems like its growing fast. The bucket holds about 4 gallon of water.
I had an air gap to promote root growth but due to not using chiller I developed slight root rot, and caught it, flushed and its no more. That was about when all of this started. I week 1 and 2 was 450 ppm, then i flushed and had 650 ppm while cleaning root rot, next day it was up to 850ppm so i flushed it thinking it was all thr root rot particles that raised the ppm. Now im at 1000ppm.
Im getting substantial growth and a thick healthy stalk.
My thoughts are either my ppm is too high and humidity is too low causing it to need more water from the roots. Which is why new parts grow fast but large leafs cannot get enough water?
Or there are particles in the cool mist non filtered water landing on the leafs choking them?
Or its a manganese defficiency or nitrogen toxicity. .
