They are weeds, so they'll bounce back. I have never used the h202, but I'd say quit! Also you are going to have 6 amazing ladies, they will need lots of RO water. You may need to buy a good RO system for them.

Peace, :joint:

i change all the water with fresh nuts water and now i wait..
the plants it doent looks good but i think they recover.

i use lucas formula but im looking for some other recipe to work.
question.... why my ph is 4,5??? first time ph drops so down.
and how is the dosage ph-up for litre or gallon?
how many hours i have to wait until the ph is stable??
i use only RO water for my plants.

hydrosun

i try to do your feeding schedule. 3g-2m-1b-1dn per gallon right?
i found it week(300PPM). 300 ppm is good for this
stage of plants?
lucas feeding gives almost 600ppm .5 0-5-10

im looking for a good recipe for dwc.
also one other member told me 5-2,5-2,5 for veg..
im loosing my head with all that numbers and all the opinions
of growers.until i find the solution i wil burn my poor plants.
thanks:smoker:

300 is perfect. That mix with RO water should come out to a stabilized 5.8ph or so. I can't imagine why you would get 4.5! I would like to see 5.8 - 6.1 w/ 300PPM.

My veg room is 442 this morning and three of the plants are bigger than 36" (photo from a while ago)

They are eating like MAD. I would add 1 gal of my mix made at 100% should ph that to 6.0, just over fill. I am sure your system capacity can handle the extra one gal.

i found the problem.my ph meter is out of control.
i tried to calibrate several times but it doesnt work.
right know my ph is 5,9-6
ppm close to 600
and water temps 22c.this is the last..my patience almost over.
if they dont recover il throw it.not just the plants but the entire sustem.

That sounds perfect. Just add RO from here until they perk up. When stressed they will not be eating much food, they will want water.

i have a new problem know..
the leaves getting pal green and some brown spots like
burnt.
ph is stable at 5,9 and the ppm are around 500.
is there a case for underfeeding and the leaves are like this??
maybe is a calmag deficiency.i dont know at all.

i need someone who knows about DWC for my questions.

can you help me please?:eek::

Hi tjo,
Probably this is a Mg def,man...I saw that signs often in this last period...if you want check my 3d and look at pics.
if you have a MICRO-elements nutrients try to spray it on and under the leaves,pH quite high,6,5-7.Spray on and UNDER the leaves,for a couple of times.Just one or 2 days you will not see more def.signs.
If you running your system with RO water...you shoud use any Ca & Mg supplement!If you use tap water,try to change it more often and pay attention at flocculation,calcium fixation and look if in the rez there is any residue.Take a look at my 3d again man,I'm experienced all these thing.here's the link:http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?p=2835324#post2835324

Good luck bro:wave:

They look good, but maybe they could use a little more N that is just my thought. I know Lucas doesn't like the green GH bottle, but I have found my plants like some green every now and then.

Your ladies are huge for such a short time ;)

yesterday i change the water.
for 90 litre of water i use
128ml micro 192ml bloom ,7ml grow-grow is not used with lucas but
7ml is small amount..i think- and 4 teaspoon of epsom salts.
today the plants looks worse.this is mean is not a mag deficiency.
after a few search in google i think is cal def.
what do you think? and if is cal def how can a recover the plants??



hydrosun
i have to say i read all your thread and im imprest.
nice big trees you got there and this is the point.
1 reason i change it to dwc is, for few plants.
before that i run 15 soil pots with 1200w in the same place.
i was tired with the transplating,watering and all this mess about the dirt.
you are smoker like me..and you understand me..
i smoke 5g every day and if this experiment goes wrong then
propably i lose my mind..im addicted but is not problem when i
have something for smoke..
maybe my engish are not so good for making post here
but definately i dont want to go back in soil.
thanks for yor patience bro and i would like a favour..

can you tell me more specific about your dwc recipe??
sorry im not an idiot..im just confuzed with all that i ve read about dwc recipes..
let say, x ml grow x ml micro x ml bloom x ml diamond nectar etc
also i dont understand yet when and how i use the 50% or 25% of the strengh.i would like to know one schedule with 100% strebgh so
this can not confuze me.
thanks bro. let smoke some of my old ssh know.
i smoked ssh for 2 years and i love it...but my ssh mom die and the
only seeds i had are those strain.

cheers:joint:

3.8 L = 1 gallon.

My grow blend is 10ml micro 15ml grow 5ml bloom 5ml diamond nectar 5ml Becauzz Grow.

I would mix that in 7.6L of water and it should read between 700 - 800 PPM.

I make it less strong when the plants are little but yours are big.

The leaves with damage look much older than the new healthy green leaves. I think you are doing fine. How about pruning off the damages leaves? It looks like the rest of the leaves are preforming great.

5g a day, we are brothers!

I wouldn't worry about Cal / Mag def. I have never adjusted by adding cal or mag and as you said my trees and even failed little plants speak for themselves.

Peace, :joint:

Ok 1st thing 1st check your roots. It looks to be mild but I can kinda see the yellowish pale green spots and Ive had my plants do that exact same thing befor. Whats your ph at right now? Have you calibrated your ph meter lately? After you check these simple things first then try the cal-mag. Get some close up pics so we can see it better.
Good luck
