Good morning THC Farmers. I am considered a new grower because I'm only on my 3rd run at the moment. I love growing and yes my first run was a breeze and everything came out amazing. I bought some clones which I was told they were SFV OG and after the run we realized they were Cookies. LOL It wasn't funny that I was told one thing and they turned out to be something else, however they came out awesome. I got 2 lbs per light the first run. There is a problem with that however. I thought what's the big deal about growing this is so easy! haha Then it happened my 2nd run, and my 3rd... problems.
I grow in Soil ( Ocean Forest) for Veg and Happy Frog for flower. My veg girls are under T5's and my flower is switched into 1000wt HPS lights.
I use Heavy16 for all my nutrients.
The 2nd run I did I battled with a little nut burn because I used the wrong soil for flower. I got the wrong information and bought Ocean Forest soil for my flower side. UGH! The soil was tooo HOT. I only came out with 1.3lb per light the 2nd run. Nugs were small. Wasn't happy.
Then I decided to switch up strains and purchase some Purple Punch clones. I'm here in Los Angeles and I was super unhappy with the very expensive PP I bought. (14.00 a clone) I bought 45 and within 5 days they started dying out. I was able to save around 20. I called the company I bought them from and they said they have a 2 day policy for exchange or refund. Such bullshit! So I bought 25 more from All Star Clones and they are awesome. Lesson learned on buying clones from the internet.
So, on that note. I'm here for some help. The 20 I saved are doing really bad. I'm thinking they are just bad genetics now. They are dying from the bottom up. The tops look amazing. But slowly but surly they are dying leaf by leaf. I took the worst one and pulled it out and dissected the roots. After 6 weeks the roots looked very small. No root rot, no bugs, no mold, just very small root ball. Here are all the levels. Water ph going in 7.5 water ph run off 5.6 My ppm going in 1500 ppm coming out 2200-2600 This is where it gets tricky. Ocean Forest has a run off of roughly 900-1000 ppm run off all alone. So how do you know what are good ppm and what's not good. After 6 weeks I took that bad plant put it in a bowl added water until it was able to give me a ppm reading, it was 800ppm
So there you have it, new grower looking for some answers haha I laugh because when I read all the threads there are 5 different answers to the one questions. To bad there wasn't a Cannabis Doctor LOL
How cool would that be? Take your plant in for a diagnosis.
Any help would be super welcomed! Thank you
