RDWC clones in for a week...
- Thread starter PoopyTeaBags
- Start date
Since they haven't been in there too long you can probably gently pull one out of the Hydroton and check. The temps may have shocked them, but PK is right they'll snap out of it try to keep the room under 85 if possible.
Also when they are that small they don't need a ton of light, if you have dimable ballasts maybe dial it back for a day or two to lower the heat and allow the little ladies to pack on some roots.
You said your PH was 5.8. Is that in the res or each bucket? I'd be interested to see if the buckets have the same PH, if not you'll be able to see which plants are struggling.
I like the daily attention with hand watering as they develop roots, in fact I try to get them to root through the net pot before they go into buckets.
Could you have an intermediate stage with a tub or tray? With this method it is easy to watch the root development.
I have seen this a few times. Every time its been a root issue. They should bounce back after the roots start growing thru the netpots better. I always start my lvpk around 400-450 ppm and there always happy. I would try a different nute that has enough cal-mag in it. Floranova works great with ro water. I love DM gold never had a problem with it and the ph is so so stable.
Keep feeding from the top and bump your water level right up to the bottom of the netpot
Good luck

all the roots i see are pure white beautiful roots.... ill see what they look like today when i stop over there... as for getting them ready before they go in the buckets... yea i will be dooing that with this next 30 bucket rdwc room im building right now... ill ebb and flow it or just do what hydro does.....
edit: you said root all white and healthy ... all i could think of is give them a good flush and just ph water for a few days ..
i had those too and i had to flush em and give em nothing but water for a few days and they swing back, im sure the LVPK is one strong mother and she wont have any problems swiing back ....
good luck bro!

I would give it another try. I have had ample success and huge yields with this cut. I have also gotten it to frost out to the end of the middle fan leaves, and have seen people frost all the way out to the largest outer fan leaves My bottom nugs that get no light are as dense as my top ones, and I have no problem getting well over a pound per 1000 watt light. so far, in side by side tests it has beaten every other indica I have smoked. Which is a lot. over a 100 at least. I ditched my pgoo, gdp and sensi star just to make more room for it. I have grown for over a decade now, and this is the toughest and overall best plant i have grown to date.
let me know if you have any questions on the cut, i would be glad to give some pointers.
its true the set up i was growing it in had some serious issues that no doubt influenced how i feel about it,i never found a happy balance between it yielding well or making a half decent bud,i wanted to toss 70% in the hash making pile,and in the final true measure for me,i just dont like smoking it,but only rarely have i been all that impressed with the "elites"...
there must be something wrong with you or you need to tightin your grow skills because this strain is one strong smoke and one easy plant to grow and can take lots of abuse.seems to me that maybe you didnt grow her out..i whip out all the other strains i had out and the only strain i now have is LVPK because she out weigh all the others..the nugs she grows are small size fist balls the are so heavy making great yields of 8-16 oz per plant on average..
^ Unclefishstick- I'm pretty sure it is just a crazy ibl pheno of some hindu kush indica. it looks just like the landrace pk, which is just a purple version of an afgani kush from the mountains.
try it again, and look into super cropping. also look into a product called bud blood. those two things will help you get the cola connection that is sounds like you desire, but careful with that stuff because you will not have much stretch at all.

anyways poopy your mix is alittle high and you shouldnt be adding cal-mag yet the base nutrients have enough for now..your temps in your room is hot should be 75-78f and no
co2 yet..check you ph metter and calibrate it if needed looks like your ph is off causing lockout in nutrient uptake and like redspaghetti said flush each one and feed a light mix of 200-300 ppm of just base nutrients no cal-mag.if you can buy Revive from advanced nutrients and foliar feed with 200ppm and ph 6.0 will fix your plants right up but you still have to fix your medium.fix a new mix of water in your res without cal-mag and ph 5.6-5.7
you'll be fine they will jump back
and try not adding liquid karma for a week
edit any questions just let me know i will help you perk them up again your not that bad theres still life to them

i grew enough of it...this thread was about poopy's problem,i expressed on opinion based on my experience with this cut,other people have theirs,please enjoy yours,i simply don't care for it
poopy,pythium is a fungal infection that grows inside the stem and can cut off transport of nutrients and water,unfortunately the only way i know to check is to cut the stem open,to me it looks like your micro nutes are locked out and maybe your ppms are too high,i would change out the rez and maybe do some top watering to get the roots going.
thanks gusy im going over there little later ill see what i can do....
do you guys think that the wierd wrinkleing and ruffness could be from the cages??? they are not in the water but possible the water could evaporate up to the top and start froming drop on the cages that fall back in the water..... could that be some of my problems?
That is pretty much the same thing I would do, and after seeing DG's pk thread I would follow his advice. The dude is giving all us pk growers a new benchmark.
also if your humidity is so high that you have stuff dripping like in a locker room then you need a dehumidifier.

the humidity hasnt been a problem yet... got a a/c and a dehumidifier but who know might need a nother since my grow is also dieing i havnt been helping this guys like i should be...
Dont think its the cages, i had cages in DWC before and there werent any problems ... you can eliminate that option there
unless.... your cages are differ than mine ... i bought em at lowes ..
cheers,
well imho you dont really want to go above 35 percent humidity ever if avoidable. so if you are above that then yes, but unless you live in a humid place then your one air conditioning is fine if it is keeping temps around 75ish
well this room was set up for the winter... but we are having a warm fall and its not in tune with the room yet lol....
are you letting your water sit out and de chlorinate a bit? too much chlorine in the water can knock your micros out of solution..
