A friend of mine asked me to help figure out what is going on in her garden. In my infirmary thread the general consensus seemed to be that she was overferting them, causing lockout. Pics in my gallery show the carnage, and the infirmary thread has a lot of pertinent info as well about the stats, specs, temps, ferts, monitors, and the like.
She's flushing the system with Florakleen right now, and will probably do so for 2 hours as directed on the bottle unless someone here tells me to tell her otherwise. (2 hours is up in 20 minutes, actually, so, eeek, please help!)
She'll be refilling the res soon and needs advice from the pro's on exactly what to give them and how much of it to get these girls healthy again.
Her res is 15 gallons and they were vegging happily with the following mix:
5ml AN Barricade Potassium Silicate, 40ml Humic Acid, 60ml Pureblend Grow, 6tsp Supernatural Grow. 500PPM
When she switched to 12/12 she flushed the system with Florakleen and mixed the following:
250ml Sensizyme / 6tsp Supernatural Bloom / 60ml Pureblend Bloom / 4ml Silicate / 40ml Humic Acid) 600ppm
Six days later symptoms began to appear as yellowing and necrotic spots on the margins on the largest oldest fan leaves in the middle of the plant.
From there it was 9 days of misdiagnosing and misfeeding, and she now realizes that she needs help, fast.
They're at day 15 of bloom now, and in need of a proper nute solution, so please help me help her get on the right track.
She has the following products available to her:
Supernatural (Dry Ferts, both Grow and Bloom)
Pureblend (Both Grow and Bloom - NOT PRO)
Cal-Mag plus
AN Barricade Potassium Silicate
Humic Acid (Labeled 1ml/L)
Sensizyme
AN PH up and down
(She also has some other stuff like Koolbloom liquid, PK 9/10 or something like that, Tarantula, Green Up, and lots of H202, but doesn't plan on using any of it)
I assume the Humic Acid, Potassium Silicate, and Sensizyme can be administered at full strength... what about the Big Bud? Should she add any Cal-Mag plus? Should she still use the Pureblend Bloom at the supplemental dose, or avoid it altogether? Finally, once she starts adding the Supernatural Bloom, where should I tell her to aim for on ppm? 400, 500, 600,?? Seriously, help would be good here before any further damage is done.
In advance, I thank you, she thanks you, and the girls will certainly thank you.
