hello gang,
i'm a totally new grower and new to this site. This is my first post so ill try to be as precise as possible.
i'm growning in a hydroponics flood and drain system, 4 buckets with a 40 liter main tank, the light is on a 16 hour schedule and the water comes on for about 5 min ever 3 hours, (enough to fill the bucket) and it takes about...2 min for the bucket to drain. And 4 additional hempy buckets.
two hempy buckets have LA con, and the other two have the same as the hydro system. (skunk 1) Everything in the hempy buckets is doing fantastic, aside from my stupid ass splashing water on them and sticking them back under the light to get burnt. (but i only did it once) :o)
My problem is coming from the hydro system plants. Im not sure what it is, i've had a look around and the thing that seems to be the closest is nute burn, but i'd like some expert opinions on that diagnosis, as my plants don't seem to look exactly like most nute burn pics, maybe it's a combination of things. uh (sigh)
The problem is that the bottom most leaves, (the oldest ones) seem to be turning a bit sickly yellow, then getting brown spots and getting REAL crispy, if you touch them they break and almost turn to dust. the top newest leaves are fine but the middle leaves seem to be now curling downward. The main vein in the middle of the leaf has become quite rigid in it's downward turn.
I'm about 4 week in using aqua veg nutes.
EC, was at 8 (same as the hempy buckets)
Ph is at 5.5/5.8 it ran for about a week and this started. once it started i flushed for 24 hours and they seem to perk up so i put more nutes in at EC 5. and it now seem to be even worse. so at the moment i've just running pure Phed 5.5 water through till one of you fine knowledgeable folk hopefully can help me.
