This is the first large op i have ever done and i have been having problems left and right. I will try to be as descriptive as possible about all aspects and hopefully post pics soon
The room:
7-4x8 drain tables, top fed, 32 sites per table using 6x6 rockwool cubes
each table has 2-600w hps on either side of a 1k hps.
All lights are well vented
a/c cooled. 76-78 oF day, 70 at night
plenty of fans and fresh air, no co2 yet...
reverse osmosis filter for water
The Nutes:
I have been using general hydroponics at about half the amount the table says to use. I am also using cal-mag plus, and foxfarm solubles (open sesame, beastie blooms, and cha ching). PPM is just over 1250 and the plants are almost 6 weeks into flower. ph is checked daily and maintained at about a 6-6.2
I have used this same combination with tap water at my old house and never saw problems like this.
My first question is if it has something to do with the RO. tap water in my area comes out at about 350 ppm at a 6.6 so it would be harder to use.
The problem:
Plants in flower have severely yellow, almost white leaves. tips burn and curl in areas. some tips turn almost a brown-purple color and curl under. I originally thought it was a N problem, so i made guano tea to add with little to no effect. Flowering is still going ok, but there is a noticable loss in production. Its happening much more than i have ever seen before. i know the leaves will begin to yellow and drop toward the end of flower but this has been a problem since about week 4.
Could this be the RO?
Should i switch to other nutes?
is there something else i should add?
any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated
