At first I thought I had a problem with nute lockout due to high PH in the RW.
I thought had a problem with PH runoff from the time I transplanted the clones into the 3x3 RW blocks. I started another thread about the high PH runoff - @7. I flushed and flushed. 4 times now. 2 times with PH'd FloraKleen, 2 times with PH's RO water with Cal/Mag+.
I put them in the buckets for the last 10 days of veg. I was hopping to get the roots out of the RW and into the Hydroton. I have roots coming out the bottom of the buckets now. Nice and white and healthy looking.
The leaves being affected are Fan leaves from the mid section of the plant. Many times the leaf fingers elongate before the tips turn gold/bronze. Then they get dry and brittle.
After so many flushes, I doubt it is nute lockout.
I don't think it is nute burn - I was running 1.0-1.2EC in the 4-5th weeks of Veg.
Flipped to 12/12 last night.
It looks a little like a Mg deficiency, so yesterday I foliar sprayed with tap water and Epsom Salt.
Is this a virus or mold? I am losing 1-2 fan leaves every day or two.
Thanks for any help.
Hydro Growers:
1. Are you growing from seed or clones? = Clones
2. How old are your plants? = 4 weeks from rooting
3. How tall are your plants? = 12"-18"
4. What type of hydro system are you using? = Ebb & Grow Buckets - clones started in 3x3x4 RW and placed in Hydroton buckets.
5. What brand/type of nutrients are you using? = House and Garden
6. What is the Ph of your nutrient solution? = 5.8
7. What is the PPM/EC of your tap water? = @150/.3EC - using RO
8. What is the PPM/EC of your nutrient solution? = @500-600/1.0-1.2EC
9. What is the temperature of your nutrient solution? = @70-72F
10. Does your PPM/EC show a rise or fall when you do your daily PPM check? = Slight rise
11. Does your pH show a rise or fall when you do your daily check? = Slight rise
12. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything? = Tried Magic Green, then Epsom Salt water.
13. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent
"plant lights") = 600w HPS x6 = 3600w
14. How close are your lights to the plants? = 16"
15. What size is your grow space in square feet? = 150SqFt
16. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space? = 70-80F - 40-60%
17. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space? = none, inspect closely
18. How much experience do you have growing? = third try, second in the buckets
