As the title says, I'm about 25 days into my first flowering and my plant is looking quite sad. Lots of brown leaves all over. I'll attach pictures at the end but here is some additional info:
Strain: train wreck
Lights: Mars-hydro old style 300w equivalent
Distance from canopy: 18"
Grow box dimensions: 2x1.5x5
Intake air flow: 4, 1.5 inch holes in the bottom of the box
Output air flow: 120mm running fan attached to a carbon filter moving around 70-80 cfm of air
Light on temp: 82
Light off temp: 65
Humidity: ~45%
Substrate: coco/perlite 75/25
Size of container: 3 gal
Feed schedule: every three days (pot is light when I feed)
Water type: filtered tap @ 55ppm
Feed type: GH nutes following H3ad 's formula of 1 ml of micro to 1.5ml bloom. Also add around 2.5 ml of calmag each watering to raise ppms to 250 before adding any other nutes.
Additional additives each watering: 2 ml hydroguard and around 1-3.5ml of silica blast to bring up the Ph to where it needs to be.
Ph: ~6 using testing drops. Probably should buy a digital Ph meter if I stick with coco since the drops arent all that precise.
Last feed: 2.5 ml calmag, 3.5 ml blast, 2 ml hydroguard, 6 ml micro, 9 ml bloom = 955ppm to the top and around 850 ppm out the bottom.
Brown tips and edges started about a week into flowering. Before that I had some yellowing around which looked like a Mg deficiency. Now that I'm 3.5 weeks in the browning has spread all over and the buds are pretty small.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
