Here is what's up my EC was high around 600 ppms on a 500 scale I noticed that my pH was dropping and my ec was going up so I dropped the EC to 350 but still the EC would rises. So I dropped it again to 220 ppm with only uc roots and h2o2 29% at 3ml a gallon and still the same thing. I have no bad yellowing going on the only thing bad was that my room air temp would fluctuate from 74 to 81 when the light where on. Don't know what I should do need help.

If your nutes are at 500ppm and two days later there at 350ppm you need to up your ppm! It works like this change res set ppm at say 600ppm ph 5.9 run for 24hrs, now if you ppm rise and ph drops nutes are too strong. If ppm drop and ph rises, nutes are too weak. But if your ppm and ph are basically stable then you have found the right mix for your plants.

I do know that thanks my problem is that now my ec is at 220 and my ph is still dropping and the ec still rises. I am in week 7 of flower buds aren't that big. Should I try to lower more?

i think he meant he dropped the ppms to 350, definitely sounds like it too hot to me. i would cut it back to like 150 and let them bounce back, always remember when bumping up your nutrients to do it slowly so you're plants can adapt. my current run i went from 150 to 300 and burned them. took few days to bounce back but all is well now.

this far along in flower you might not see any definite changes in your plants by correcting the problem. but you can hope to get them flushed and finished at least. now you'll be better prepared for your next run.

Yea I was thinking that I changed the ec levels way to fast. I still have some white hairs When I was in soil it was a 14 week finisher . I may still have time. How long should I wait before trying to bring up my ec?

 

[stickyfing3rs]

id wait until you start to see your ppms dropping, your plants will show you when they are ready. damn 14 weeks is a long flowering time, should have time to get them whipped back into shape.

Here is a new problem what do you think it is? my ppm 500 scale are 190 and my pH is at 5.6 my tap water comes out at 110ppm.

 

[woodsmaneh]

Your starving them at 190, I run my clones at 450 in veg, and my plants in flower I go as high as 800 and finish at 500.

 

[stickyfing3rs]

i agree woods, id start bumping it up slowly. they'll eat it up like crazy now. they are ready

i rarely run my ppms over 300 even in heavy flowering mode, my current run they got bumped from 210 to 280 the 3rd week of flower and burned them. any idea why that is? strain might be part of it but I've never had much luck running shit higher then that. my plants are always happy and thriving other then when i burnt them of course

I have the same problem when i have my poem in the 300 range I get all the signs of over fertilization. What I need to get is a top off also what do you think the pH swing is from?

 

[Growboy]

I will post notes later today with updated info about what I have done to fix so far.

 

[woodsmaneh]

Feeding is strain related. I like to push till I get a little bit of tip burn than back off just a bit.

new up date on problem

 

[shawnskush]

have you phed your runoff?

 

[Growboy]

I use a uc my ph yesterday was 5.7

 

[stickyfing3rs]

kinda looks like heat stress on the leaves that are curlingr, other then that they are looking better

 

[Growboy]

The room temp is at 70-75 all the time so it shouldn't be heat stress.

 

[shawnskush]

might wants to raise ph to 5.9ish dont know how much diff it would make tho 5.7 just seems low
