I know how to get rid of chlorine and ph the water. Just don't know how I would do 200 litres. But yeah, one plant at a time. Mega idea. So nice one. Will do that as soon as I water next. I will do the darkest one. See if it helps. The others may peek up just with a feed of water. Instead of a flush. Is it the foliar feeding thats done it do you think? As I'm sure it's not the one quarter strength feed I gave it?

I flushed all of my plants through today. Left water in the bath over night then ph'd to 6.5. Run off was at 7. I've noticed my new growth has now started to curl down and become quite brittle. Nit brittle like they will break, just if you move one leaf the whole plant moves. I probably Should've said stiff instead of brittle? Just seems strange all this. Any more info? Will put pics up after a day or 2 to see how they have reacted from the flush through. I really want to be inducing in the next week. Need this sorted asap.

And is there any chance this is due to serious amounts of fimming and super cropping. I always crop and cut my plants to keep the buds all at the same height and have never had any issues. But I'm wondering if it is possible on some strains it can happen? Also I had a sleestack x skunk in my room. It had all the same treatment. Feed etc. And it was fine. So again. Any chance the green house cheese can't cope with cropping?

It turned out to be male so had to bin it. So gutted. But it was a beautiful plant. All the same environmental factors. But lovely and healthy.

Well, you should have flushed with RO water, but what's done is done. Try flushing one plant with RO water, and get run off down to 6.5.

I can't get hold of any ro water. How about all the cropping. Have you got any opinions on that? Or still just over fed?

I will pop to the shop tomorrow. Haven't seen any ro water in the store but definitely seen distilled. Cheers

I'd like everyone to know that the flush has already made a big difference. My plants have all gone from a droopy look to a more healthy look. I have also hooked my extraction fan up so it could've been a contributing factor in the vitality of the plants. Whatever it was I am thankful for the help. Will put into flower when I feel they have bounced back fully. The tips of tge new growth are still yellow, but are looking a lot happier. I will see if the new shoots are any better. But the plants in general are looking so much better. I think for certain I will go back to hydro. Not really a fan of soil. It's tricky to get round. Much easier imo to control the nutes completely by yourself. Thanks again people.

Try coco in Hempy buckets. It is hydro, but without the pumps and hoses. Simple and huge yields. Use the K.I.S.S. method. Check the Hempy bucket thread, and the Hempy bucket with coco thread. Check the K.I.S.S. thread. All you need......

Was considering coco for this grow. Opted for soil for what reason I don't know? I might give it a go. See how I feel after this. Might try a coco drip system.?
Cheers for the help

The flush I did was a bad move. I've had to feed my plants as it was a deficiency of all sorts. I knew it couldn't be over as I use bio nutes and hardly used any. But problems seem to be sorted now. A good feed and some molasses has perked them right up. The colour us coming back and the clawed leaves have almost all uncurled.
