Hello everyone I am new to ICmag, but have been reading on this forum and others as well for a few years now. please forgive me if i am out of line or violating any rules here. I did my best to read up before posting.
Anyways, i have 3 grows under my belt and have not really been happy with any so far. I started with amended soil and moved to coco coir and from pure blend pro to dyna gro largely because of the info shared by uncle ben and home brewer on various forums.
Whats going on is i am struggling to correct an issue of what appears to be an over watering issue. I have been battling this same problem for about 8 months now trying different things and developing theorys as to what the problem could be and following them up without a fix. This is my last resort to try to fix the issue before I pull the plug on this whole thing a quit. If there is anyone who can help, i would really appreciate it.
various info to help with diagnosis
nutrients: dyna gro foliage pro (veg) dyna gro bloom (flower) and protekt and 1ml/gal cal mag plus with 0ppm ro di water nothing else startijg from over all ppm of 300 ppm clones to about 500ppm veg and havent gone over 600ppm during flower
ph:5.8 using milwaukee mw802 ph meter
growing in a box that is 144cu ft with pleanty of air flow
using 11 vero 29 pendant leds (2700k) (diy) all on there own dimmers. I have seen plants grow like crazy under them before these problems arose.
medium: botanicare coco coir bricks preflushed in 2gal geo pots drain to waste
the strain in question is THC Bomb, but i have the same issue with all strains of the 4 i have on hand.
the problem that i have is this. the clones i start with root fine and start off growing great. i then transplant to the coco in 1gal geopots they grow very fast initially with roots coming out all over, but then they turn dark green like a N toxicity and then shortly after suddenly stop growing for no apparent reason. roots seem to die back and the new growth turns lime to yellow and then under leaves start slowly yellowing and dying and stems turn purple and become stiff and the plant basically continues to get worse and worse till it dies. this has happened to me in flower as well as veg. It has wiped out my mothers and reduced yields down to nearly nothing. Ive read and trued everything i can find or do, but nothing helps.
Let me know if you need anymore info to help with diagnosis. thanks everyone in advance.
