I’ll cut straight too it. Thank you for stopping by.
Setup:
1) Growers Choice ROI720 LED @30k Lux currently (75%)
2) 150L insulated res. Holds 35 gallons of solution
3) Sour D clones
4) 6” net pots
5) 400 cfm filter and fan exhausting
6) 12k btu ducted in
7) 5x5 tent
8) 4x5 scrog net
9) 165L/min of air being pumped with air stones and air discs
10) BlueLab Guardian PH/PPM,Temp for Res
11) TrolMaster HydroX climate controller, Temp, Humidity, PPMs, VDP with App
12) TrolMaster AquaX PH probe, Temp and PPM probe with App
13) 3 x clip-on air fans
14) 2 gallon humidifier
There is No Co2 being added. I just take the reading to track what the natural occurring levels are in my tent over time.
Nutrients:
1) 7 stage RO water. Final step is UV treatment
2) H&G Aqua Flakes A&B 50/50 ratio
3) Botanicare Hydroguard
4) Botanicare Cal-mag
5) GH PH up&down
The Numbers:
Climate:
Temps: 70-80f according to the TrolMaster I have about 7 degree fluctuations in 10 minutes periods, or the sensor is overall sensitive and it’s catching drafts, ext... idk if this is an issue or not, idk how I have 10 degree temp swings ever.... my lights are on 24/7...... never been off.
Humidity currently 55-70%. See below
NaturalCo2 PPMs: 500-1000. Avg around 500
Res Solution
63-66F
PH: 5.8-6.2
PPMs: Have dropped by around 40-80 PPMs every single day throughout all 5 weeks of veg for the most part.
I’ve started at 200 and each week changed the Res, and increased by 200 up to now 1000 PPMs.
Well it’s 1000PPMs for BlueLab and 600 and change for TrolMaster.
So it depends what scale you use.
I Cannot get the PH to stay below 5.8. I will lower it to 5.6-5.7 and it will rise to 5.8-6.0 within 24 hours.
The PH always drops in conjunction with this. Usually about 40 PPMs on average per 24 hours. However sometimes more. For instance.
This last increase from 900 to 1000 and the plants took it back down to 900 in 24 hours and drank about 6 gallons of water. Shits crazy.
You can see the light/bright new growth. I knowlighter new growth is normal. But this seems excessive.The plant is growing like crazy through so maybe it just can’t keep up with new growth ?
Maybe over fert and locking out? Can someone explain the PPM drop then ? I would like to be corrected if the PH rising, PPM dropping, and water level decreasing is not an indication the plant is taking in more nutrients then water. Therefore, increase feed ?
I had low humidity for the first 3-4 weeks.20-30%. Could this have caused issuespushing the start of week 6 still ? My humidity has been steady at 55-70 for about 2 weeks. A majority of my concerns are new growth. My though is, the low humidity messed with transpiration rates and therefore effected nutrient uptake?
I’ve done 2 Res changes since increasing humidity. The 3rd will be done today.
Another thought I had... maybe I am training them too hard and trimming too much ? They are growing so quick I have to be very very aggressive. The continue to grow at a crazyrate though so I’m not so sure they don’t like it??
Please help me figure out this light/ bright new growth, rising PH , and dropping PPM. I appreciate
