Can anyone help please?
Right guys, I'm running iws flood and drain 60/40 coco claypebbles mix. I've never had a problem when growing other strains but this time I've tried a strain that I've never grew before in this system, my leaves were starting to fade and go like a lime green in colour, I thought maybe it was a lockout at first so I flushed through with plain ph water and starting a low dose, nothing happened. So I moved onto step two by dimming my lights down to 300w from 600w, nothing changed!
My temprature is sitting just nice at 25/26c. I was on two floods a day and now I've dropped back to one flood a day, what I have noticed (which I can't get my head around) they start to perk up before the flood is introduced, i can't say they perknup to where they look 100% but they look alot better then soon as its flooded about 5 plants in the system droop like crazy and a few other droop but perk up a few hours after. But so many of the plants stay drooping, I don't know how I can be overwatering because I've flooded 3times a day before on a different strain and this timer has a 24hr schedule and with it being a system you should atleast be flooding 1 time a day on the timer so that it's automated, so what shall I do? It seems like when I let them get dryish they start to come alive abit more??? Any help would be appreciated, im really baffled. Ph is at 5.8 letting it drift to 6.2. Ive now upped the feeds to 4times a day and see if there is any change. I lifted some of the pots out of the system and the roots are lovely and white and are huge so the roots are doing really well. I will attach some photos of all the plants. Thanks
