Flipped lights on June 13.
Last couple weeks this has been going on.
I'm at about 2.4 e.c.
I keep pH between 5.7 and 6.1 using advance nutrients nice grow and bloom.
( My first time using it).

Room temp about 75 on average, with humidity at about 65 %.
I stopped giving the grow a week ago.
She looked extra green.
Topped off with some Cal mag.
Early in the week.
Not sure what's going on.

2.4 ec is 1200ppm and many stay at 800ppm til they are in the last part of the grow where they increase it gradually..I think 2.4 may be too hot....Maybe back it off to 1.6 ec or 800ppm... I think that will help...good luck...DJXX

Hey thanks.
I'll try that.
Should I do a day of just plain pH Ed water or put her right into new mix.
I'm going to try PK only.

So here's where I'm at.
She's sitting in tap water.
I've drained my bucket and cleaned it.
Filled with spring water
I added
1teaspoon pear gal of beastie bloom (ok) only
5 ml fish emulsion
5ml hydroguard
5 ml of silica blast.
That put my pH at 5.8
And 650 ppms on the .05 conversion.
Didn't use advanced nutrients trio this time plant is too green,
Amy suggestions before I put her in it..
Thanks
 
I've never used a concentration of more than 1/4 tsp/gall w/ foxfarm powders in any hydro system, they are pretty hot. Mix them too hot and tank PH can drop fast in my experience, watch carefully over time.

Damage like that could be related to root health like rot or microbial blooms. Careful with levels of organic material in solution until you have things under control. If tank is too warm and not aerated enough you are going to have issues.

I'll back off on the nutes a little bit next time but right now I'm at about half the strength that was running before and I didn't see any problems up until a week ago.
I noticed my water temperature was close to 80 so I will have to address that somehow maybe ice water bottles in the morning I really hate to invest in a chiller at this time they're really expensive I heard

If you have the money, get one, they aint getting cheaper and you need 72*F.. frozen bottles of water are a PITA.
