i think over water, i had that problem when using #3 bags to start in
so i started putting them in 5x5 squares to start to build roots then transplanting
Yes let them dry maybe even 2 days..i know it will seem like it would slow them down, but there not drinking it fast enough. let them get dry then hit them with calmag, and right after...10 mins later run your norm nutes through.
Ill see if i can dig up some of my pics...seems to happen to to only one of mine(afgan kush x skunk #1) but they were doing the same as yours except in 1 gallons.
I have never used in a foliar. Then drench with cal/mag will rinse the medium, and add the calmag. main thing is they need to dry out so they get past that droopyness an can start absorbing the nutes.
You way over think shit but let me give you what I know if its a little white looking worm very tiny it could be a spring tale Spring tales are good soon you will have soil mites (Hypoaspis miles) the good ones this is from the tea brew its alive and this stuff is the good stuff, We have millions of them in our coco beds and they are great.. But I dont know what you have with out seeing it I would give your plants a couple days of no watering then hit them with a full dose of cal mag and base nutes at 1.3 to 1.4 total ec with cal mag and base nutes and give that a couple days and see how they respond do not give them anything else just cal mag and base with a total ec of 1.3 to 1.4 always mix cal mag first. If they start to respond keep your feed at 1.3 then you can slowly start backing off EC. Ph at 5.8 to 6.0.. Don't do 10 different things and don't do one thing from each person that has gave you advice. Stick to the basics..JACKOk, this is what I found today. Took the largest ppp seedling which was the one that looked the worse and opened up the pot. Took some time but I did manage to see a few white very skinny things moving around. Every time I would see one it would scurry and hide. Then when I went to get my magnifying loupe I couldn't find one again!!!! Looked for another 5 minutes digging through the coco and couldn't find squat. I could see them with the naked eye but they were tiny kinda looked like a little centipede. From the pics I've been looking at of root aphids that doesn't seem to fit the description? So what are these little fuckers???? The big plant that I found these bugs in also had the least mount of root development. Virtually no roots poking out of the pots. Roots in the pot did look nice and white just not much growth. The rest of the ppp seedlings did have roots poking out of the pots but I said fuck and through all 10 seedlings out!!!! My kush clones which are all right next to my ppp seedlings have roots growing out of the damn pots!!!!!! Seriously, some of them have roots 4-5" long dangling from the pots!!!
After throwing out the 10 ppp seedlings next thing i wanted to do was check run off from one of my kush clones. I made a batch of nutes at 1.2 ec and 5.6 ph. I also put some Aptus Bio Shark Soil Attack which is basically essential oils at full strength which is 2ml per gallon in with the mix. Watered plant till I got a little run off and checked it out. It was 0.8 ec and 6.4 ph. The tea I feed the plants with on Monday was ph of 6.7. This is only my 2nd or 3rd watering since then each time I gave them 1.2 ec and 5.8-6.0 ph. Think my ph is high just from the tea?? Plants look healthy and have great root growth.....
Guess first thing first is I need to figure out what bug was in the coco??? Even though my kush plants look OK I'm sure those little bastards are in there as well???? Next things is where the fuck did they come from? And then what should I do for my kush clones? Hoping the aptus soil attack will keep them at bay until we can figure something out!!!! I'm assuming I had these little bastards with my ppp seedlings before I transplanted them into my 2 gallon pots? But the weird thing is the most unhealthy one, the largest one had completely filled the 4" pot it was in with roots!!! And now it had the least amount of root development! Only thigh I did different when I got my kush clones was I dipped the 1.5" rockwool cubes they were in, in some merit 75 which has imid in it. Ppp seedlings only got the miticides. Then when I first pre charged the coco I hit the coco with 1.0 ec and 5.8 ph with some aptus soil attack but only at there maintenance rate which is 1 mil per gallon. Let that sit for a day and then transplanted.
Let me know what u guys think. I gotta get this shit in order before I go crazy!!!! Thanks everyone!!!
