Hello Folks,
I have been working with the Undercurrent for around 1 1/2 years now and still haven't gotten it working like the Big Boys. I have had 3 good runs, one great run(my first run), and 2 HORRIBLE runs. Each time I have had major problems with the PH dropping. Some worse than others, but always a drop. I am about ready to scrap the system but want to give it one more run with some help from the Farm.
Room:
- 16 ft length x 11 ft wide x 8 ft tall
- Two 600W HPS and one 1000W HPS (tried dual arc but the bulb kept flickering and going out on me).
- 15,000 BTU wall mounted AC
- 8 X 13G UC System in the middle under lights
- 1 row of plants growing in organic soil on either side of UC
- Sealed, CO2.
- 5 wall mounts fans
Nutrients:
Zone @ 1ml/G
MagiCal @ 1ml/G
Epsom Salt @ whatever rate brings PPM up to 150 or 200 (had serious Magnesium deficiency(i suspect) during week 5 of both bad runs) **added P/K boost each time and had the problems... maybe someone can enlighted me**
Canna Flores A and B
PH up (sometimes Silica, sometimes tap water, sometimes PH UP)
Each time I have run the system the plants get angry if I go past 650 PPM, no higher. Anyone else have this happen all ?
I used to run Canna Boost and Roots Excell without Zone but decided to run a sterile system because i have had brown roots in the past and am wondering if that is the problem.
Each time I have run the system the plants are happy under 650 PPM, no higher. Anyone else have this issue?
Here are a few pics of the Room, my Super Skunk run, and my current run.
Can anyone tell me what they think is happening to the plant from my current run? My PH is surprisingly stable this run @ 5.5 PPM @ 560 but the plants aren't looking well.
I want to upload more photos but I am having trouble with the upload process failing and timing out. I will try again tomorrow.
