First time grower think i have problems

You can adjust your ppm as needed.
whats the runoff ph and ppm?

I brought my ppm down to 600 and flushed the pots with it last night as suggested by somebody local think they looked a little worse for wear with the 800ppm as leaves started to curl my run off with the 600 ppm very low at 300, ph going in was 6.5 came out at 5.4 hoping today's watering might be better

Ok PH going in should be around 5.6-5.8 and should come out close to the same. If its changing that much then you may need to flush more through for a bit to get the coco reset in a sense.

Imho i dont think its the 800ppm but still a nutrient buildup. What ppm is coming out?

So my ec going in was 1.2 and run off was .590

Ok you need you run more feed through it…

whats your temp and humidity?

 

[RAPTORRAGNAR]

Temp was about 23 and humidity was 60

 

[Aqua Man]

Temp was about 23 and humidity was 60

Ok decent enough. Yeah id flush through about 3x the pot volume of nutrients just to re stabilize the root zone.

PH and temp adjusted of course

Thanks aqua I'll let you know how I get on

Aqua when you say 3x the pot volume you mean like if I've got a 10 litre pot flush with 30 litres ?

Yup i know it sounds like a lot but i think you will find the results more than worth it. Its the fastest way to get things back in order

This sound stupid but is their harm coming to the plant with a low outflow ppm, is this something that could wait 2 days? Or something that needs urgent attention? Only because I mix my water in a 40 litre bucket and I've got 18 Plants lol I'd have time to get them out the tent friday and mix my water up in the bath lol so I'm not mixing 18 loads lol

The sooner the better but a couple days should be fine

Thanks aqua big help again mate

Anytime man

So I flushed half this morning and gonna flush other half this afternoon when lights are back on what I did notice is the taller healthier plants runoff wasn't too bad either whatever the input was or not that much over the smaller ones was well off with ec and I did have to flush them with a lot of water before I got a stable ec, eg.. input was 1.5, temp 23 degrees, ph 5.7 runoff ec was 0.45 or like 0.65 big difference I just kept flushing until ec was balanced or just over with inflow, attached are some photos of the plants and some marks I belive to be either deficiency or nute burn ??

Give about a week to see improvements in new growth

As above so below. Up-pot time?

Would I get away with keeping them in 10 litre pots ?

I don't know bud. I was really just asking the same thing. I believe that a lot of people use 10 liters (2.6 gallons) successfully. I was just watching a video where pot size was being discussed and it was talked about how smaller pots require more skill to keep things dialed in. Didn't mean to interrupt your tutelage with the best person here to help you--@Aqua Man.

No interruption at all. Im not the best person to answer just opinionated lol. i mean there are advantages and disadvantages to smaller or larger pot sizes and a lot of them. Also a lot of difference depending on the media used.

some of which i go over here. But alot depends on the growers skill, time and and equipment.

however not everyone can water as often as need in smaller pots. In my 1 gal coco i was watering 14x a day at peak and well it works great but would be hell for someone to try and hand water so each situ is different

Marijuana Watering, how media, pot size/shape and environment affect it

Ok lots of posts on how to water plants. So I thought I would put together a thread on how different factors contribute to different results that ppl see. This will be a long read based on my personal knowledge, opinions, research and others work to consolidate information for our members. I'm...

HOW TO WATER COCO FOR BEST RESULTS.

Ok writing this cause i see this issue often and rather have a thread to link than explain this each time. This is not my work but a collection of info from many members here and I have put into practice myself. So first off COCO is NOT soil. For best results we want to keep it saturated...
