Getting Red

[HiGro]

Howdy there my fellow Farmers, HiGro here. Recently acquired some beans for Bloody Skunk and Dark Devil both from the Red Family. Hopefully I can get some real Red tones near harvest if i can get the temps down low enough. I've never grown either strain and don't know know what to expect really so if your reading this and have had experience please share. I just germinated them last week and just put them in their Hydro set up DWC with 3" net pots and rock wool AoK starters. Just plain Ph'd water. Just put em in the nursery and intro to light. Pull up a seat on this one Plenty of updates and pictures to enjoy.

Looks like they've been stunted or something 22-23 days old they should be bigger I would think, more then one node...

 

[Ned Kelly]

Yea something is nor right they look like 1 week old .

Rest of your plants don't look happy either. Droopy, purple petioles, burnt tips ... Your pH seems to be off and some other issues.

Don't wont to be a party killer here, but those Sweet Seeds seem to be realy finicky bitches and after a start like that they aren't gona live for you to see some pistils.

roots are dying notice how the stem get really narrow towards the bottom , soon its goona just ay over and die. Do you have gnat larva eating the tap root?

 

[HiGro]

They didn't make any progress so I pulled them they grew nice healthy roots they just didn't grow sweet seeds are definitely finicky they did get cold it got down to around 61°f and ph was at 6.3 at a time I'm going to pop some more beans here soon and try it again.

And toaster yeah my other two clones are suffering all my fault! I tried some New nutes called photosynthesis+ and nourish from micro life supposed to be organic bennies I use 1/3 strength of what it called for and it totally locked them out! The bottle and instructions even said you could not over use this product what a lie!

 

[Toaster79]

Did you use anything else with photosinthesis+? If they are only microorganisms you need to feed them so they can process the food for the plants.

[HiGro]

I used the nourish with it and grow from bio juice

 

[Toaster79]

So you used broken down food for plants ready avaliable with bennies and food for bennies as I understand this right? Might be too much at once.

 

[HiGro]

Well once the cuts established good roots I gave em a little of the grow from bio juice and they exploded with growth, ran that for a week they grew ridiculously then I received a few freebies and thought what the check I'll try em out so I added the 1/3 strength photo+, and nourish to it, then almost instant lockout stems periods turned purple and no growth besides the roots they kept on growing great

 

[Toaster79]

Sounds like pH issue. Don't know, I'm a dirt guy. Maybe one of the hydro cats chimes in.

Is that a carpet in the tent?
Just curious on why that is..

Looking good man keep it up
What do you keep the PH at?
looks like there may be some magnesium issues but I could be wrong.. Others know more than myself on the plants language
64.5 f is kinda cold, is that at night or all the time?

 

[HiGro]

Its a closet.

I keep my ph hovering around 5.7, and that's the res temperature at 64°f the air temp is around 78°f

Yeah they could is a little cal-mag but I usually don't intro to nutes untill they have 3 sets of true leaves
