I would change reservoir h20 and feed at 3/4 strength gh...no bloom booster
6.2 is a high ph IMO.. I check daily and the only time it ever fluctuates to above 6 is the next day after a Rez change. I then lower it to 5.5 and it will usually stay in the 5.5-5.7 range.. what is your water temp? Ph, water temp and vpn are what needs to be dialed in.Hey guys,
This is my first grow. I'm doing a DWC grow and i am on week 7 and would like some feedback.
Strain: delicious seeds Cotton Candy Kush
light: 2x 600HPS and 1x 250 HID
Grow tent is 150cm x 150cm
I am also using RO water
Nutes: general hydroponics 3 part and bloom booster. I also used seaweed and fulvic acids during veg.
Ph: allways between 5.7 and 6.2
i can't tell about temperature and humidity because I did not have much money to start this grow and didn't buy a thermometer.
I think I overfed the plants at about week 5, but as soon as I noticed it i changed my reservoir and gave them nutes at 1/4 strenght for 2 days and then added back nutes at 75% strenght.
I also think it has been too hot inside the tent because the plants don't look that good ( some leaves are curling down, and i have brown spots on leaves) maybe the light was too close..?!
I know I did ( or I'm still doing) something wrong, i just cannot identify where the problem is...
If anything is missing just let me know

Ok so its not light burn. At all. Definitely not. If it was light burn it would be the very worst at the tops and get better the farther from the light it is and it bleaches the leaf. Looks way different. Im in modular ebb/flow using gen hydro nutes and i find i have to cut their feedchart in half. Or use the "low" measurements on the new feedchart. Ibsee 2 things that look like a tiny bit of phosphorus excess but honestly, it looks like your watering practices/pump timing is off. The plants look like they're not getting enough air. You said DWC, do your air stones need replacing or is the water level too high? They can also droop like that if the roots get cold so if they perk right back up 30 minutes after watering then thats all it was. How much bloom and koolbloom (or whatever bloom booster you use) are you using? At this point you should have around 10mls per gallon of bloom and 2.5mls per gallon of liquid koolbloom (if you use a different booster i dont know what the measurement is). If you want to grow hydro, you really need a TDS meter so you can actually measure the concentration of your nutrients in ppm/EC. Personally, i feel 750-900ppm lfor mid-late bloom is ideal but everyone should grow in the ways that best pleases them. Oh and one other thing, you mentioned that the res was too concentrated but you fixed it, well, there will be symptoms of the damage that was done that only start to show up after a week or 2 (magnesium can be deficient for 4 weeks before you see any signs of it) so my point is that even though you have already reduced your nute strength, you will see a phosphorus excess start to appear but watch it cloely since it is most likely just finally showing the damage that was already done.Hey guys,

Ok so you have to be careful. Those mold spores will rub off on to other buds and then grow from there so make sure you remove is out cleanly.I did cut all the branches with mold on them..
It was 6-7 branches, i noticed not the all plant had mold, only some spots.. i cutted all the stems with mold out, do you guys think I could try and smoke the rest? Or should I throw the whole stem away?
