Ok, so I just did a quarter gallon of my Nute mix from yesterday added to a clean bucket. I think that's an 1/8th of recommended dose. I used a 1/4 strength yesterday before they went real bad today. That I think should feed it if it needs it but not hurt if it doesn't. The roots look great.
It's funny you say that. This was a micro seed I bought off of guaranteed to germ people. I didn't have high hopes for it. It's fighting though that's for sure. And when I started this seed I said to myself this is probably the best seed in the pack.
I think the fresh water and lower Nute dose worked. That micro leaf is no longer touching itself. I wasn't sure it being auto and hydro If it was worth keeping. Considering it's showing signs of bad genes with those curved leaf tips.
It was the Nutes. Not sure what happened because a 1/4 dose isn't much. I cut it down to an 1/8 and that leaf is moving.
Your roots are probably also now dangling in the water, correct?
I'm doing DWC bucket and I did pour ro water on it. Clean bucket and went with an 1/8th Nute dose. That leaf is on the move now. I'm thinking it was nitrogen toxicity but I know it wouldn't show recovery that quick. Thirsty is what you're saying. Can't hurt but do you suggest Nute mix or plain RO water?
Yes
Never ever, ever give a plant plain RO. Ever. Especially in Hydroponics, it'll create a reverse osmotic pressure on the roots and draw nutrients OUT of the plant. Always use a light nutrient.
That is probably why the plant is starting to turn around. Its found food and water in the bucket below.
Couple weeks I'll have them. I have the liquid pH test kit that came with up & down. I have well water spring fed which is soft. I decided to use RO, Hydrogaurd & Calmag. I can get distilled water if that's better. I don't have city water.
No it's just stripped before it gets to me. Goes through rock, clay and sand. It's not super soft but it's not in between either. I can get some plain spring water from Walmart, it's supposed to be filtered tap water I think the small print read.
Can you get a water quality report? You may have some water issues.
I could but not sure what kind of water I should be using? I don't have soft water build up and I have drunk it 14 years. My issue is sometimes the soap is hard to rinse off your body. Once I have meters then I'll know how it's working If I used the spring water, I know it's acidic.
