Garden...not happy anymore. What's happening?

[BowHunterSimon]

In 3 gallon pots, I'd be bone dry in 3-5 days at most, depending on the size of plant, stage of growth, etc.

My budding large plant in a 3 gal pot, yes 3 days everytime, 4th she will be droopy.

 

[GNick55]

I run off shallow well water, coming from our creek basically... Stuff grows great outside haha!

I let it sit in 5gal buckets tho to warm up too basement floor temp anyways. then add nutes and stir vigorously

ok good..
well it could be the inconsistent watering practices plus not feeding enough?
your flowering plants though different colours weren’t feed properly during the flowering stage either that’s why you have the coloured leaves. the plant taking from them what they need to finish.. your veg plant leaves are yellow to white as the plant needs more nitrogen etc to continue growth..
but something has screwed with me hose roots and maybe the plants have been stunted?
just saying..

 

[GNick55]

Yes I should invest in some of those pot raisers. They all do sit in saucers tho which are grooved and allow for somewhat of an air flow, wouldn't hurt more for sure. No issues in summer tho, those nice plants I treated the same.

this is good idea

 

[BowHunterSimon]

Is this what you use through the entire grow?

Yea not sure either, I just watered when I felt the pots where light. But when I transplanted one of those plants, the roots did not look healthy at all, not white and strong, they were more light brownish looking, leaning towards root rot maybe? But that wouldn't make much sense as the pots were always very light, or almost a droopy dry plant before I watered it again.

 

[BowHunterSimon]

Cheap too. But golf balls if I can get them for a wicked price. Thank you sir.

i only use these or a combination of them..
i post all my grow info with my grows ever sunday.. you can look at recent finished at what’s gnick55 up too, go to last page and go backwards all/everything i do is posted..
green gaia i use for outdoors..

I have ran pbpg all the way - I just started adding bloom at the flower

thank you. So the Karma keeps PH where it needs to be, and your bloom version is for soil? Can that be used with peat?

 

[ezenzyme]

So no PPM meter? Been feeding them the same thing this whole time? Imaging your were still eating the same portion since you were a baby....
You lost control when your plants got too big for their dirt needing tons more food and never giving it to them since then there has been no change. Pallets are free and will raise them up NOW!!
How much experience do you have growing?

I have been feeding them around 1EC every 3 watering.
That is why I transplanted 2 of them into larger pots, adding less water than soaking a 5gal pot with a tiny plant.

2 years I been growing for ;p

karma is like minerals and vitamins..
promix hp has ph buffers.. no clue as what ph is etc..

 

[GNick55]

this is my medium

yes same, i added perlite and a bit of extra lime tho...

So i transplanted one of them plants in sunshine #4 pro as a test to see if it would pickup in a different medium, if it was a medium related issue, but no difference yet, and it's been over a week.

oh i golf a lot and like looking for golf balls while playing, so ya their free to me.,
risers look perfect!

 

[BowHunterSimon]

I just dug a hole into the moist grow medium about 2/3 down and measured temp at 16.3 celcius, or 61 fahrenheit. Is that okay or too cool.

I ck my ph and ec two/three times a grow and I do adjust feedings for stages

 

[Observationist]

You said pH was the issue and it is. You can do whatever you want with ppm/ec, if your pH isn't good, nothing will grow well. Make pH of medium ~5.8-5.9, if you want healthy plants, runoff should never be more than ~0.5 off that, if it is, make adjustments so that it's not.

I always just used 1.3 ec, 1 bottle of general purpose nutes, start to finish, soil or coco and the plants grew very well. I don't monitor temps or humidity indoors and can't control it outdoors and the plants have never seemed to mind, they are much tougher than people, they are usually growing outdoors, in nature.

ive been flushing my clones in coco because the PH is fuckin wild. think of my meters is fucking pointless for coco media, and the other is a cheap PH pen
need better measuring tools lol

Sounds like it's on the low end of things but I'll defer to the experts. I'd imagine growth wouldn't exactly be vigorous at those temps.
