So this grow has been a nightmare. Everything started perfect. Left for 2 weeks someone with experience started taking care of them. I suspect the plantsitter of not mixing well the nutrient solution (as for the silica and other nutrients creating a lockout and maybe damaging roots?) The plantsitter also admitted when spraying for spider mites he was adding double dose (by accident). I also looked after how he sprayed and he would spray so much on the plant it would be dripping. We do have a borg problem, but by spraying every 4-5days we are keeping them under control. Here are infos on grow
Growing medium: promix bx (peat&perlite)
3 gal containers
Lighting: DE hps & DE MH (half/half checkerboard position) set a 750W on 18/6
Average temps&RH: 25-26C (77-78F)
55-65% RH
(Super good airflow, turned co2 off cause plants weren't healthy)
Well water at initial 65ppm. Super clean.
Insecticidal soap: OPAL by OMEX (health canada approved) its a 47% potassium salts of fatty acid.
Nutrient recipe:
0.25ml/L Armor Si
2ml/L vitamin b's
1ml/L cal-mag
2ml/L worm castings
1ml/L grow A
1ml/L grow B
800ppm 1.6 E.C 6.2PH
We have several strains in this room going and all of them suffered from a lockout. Once i came back and saw the lockout i took total control of the room. Started by flushing plants. After i implemented a 1 feed 1 flush. On flush times i'd put superthrive and Bio-rhizotonic to help the roots get healthy since they were all brown.
It has been 2 weeks now. And some strains are doing very well ( Florida OG , the Bigfoot, Dosidos) but for example my true purple Cali OG isn't. I did a runoff test and they were all between 1200-1600 ppm!!! With a 800ppm feed and flush everytime.
For example the Florida OG the runoff was 350-600 ppm. And they are doing great. Just trying to see what everyone thinks.... i've been growing indoors for 2 years now full time and never had problems like this. Could it be a disease. Could it just be unhealthy roots or root burn?
