I just transplanted from 1 gal to 3 gals and i notice the root ball was really small for 2 months. like barley even pot bound :?

Anyways heres the specs.

800 watts -> 400 hps 400 Mh
promix HP with 5-10% worm casting
3 gal square pots
Advanced nutrients grow mico bloom - ph perfect
19/5 light cycle.
1-2 tsb dolmite lime per galon of soil.
Watering with ph tap water at 6.? ph. i use the General Hydro drops and I look for a yellow color.


So.... After that.. what do you think is wrong with my plants? Grow SUCKS! super slow. NEW GROWTH is the affected area. OLD LEAVES ARE FINE.... New growth is all yellow and veiny and skinny.

My stems feel like wood! like i couldnt even clone theses plants if i wanted to.

Petules ( stem directly of the leaves) are red/ purple

I flushed 2 weeks ago and have just been giving water.
---> i think its somthing to do with the Promix SOILESS mix. like becoming to acidic from the peat or not having enough nutes ect.

I think if u haven't given a feeding in two weeks than u should feed them..

no food no growth haha.... makes sense dont it??? I use that to stall my veging plants sometimes.... tops will grow out stunted and shitty most likely if they get any more yellow in the tops.... mowood 9n the money....

We FIgured it out!!!!!!!!!!! PH IS WAY TO LOW. i wasnt letting the water sit in the pots long enough before testing the run off. like i would just keep dumping untill i saw runoff. test it. and it was always the same as my IN ph. NOW><..... this time i watered soaked the pot. but no run off. came back in 20 mins and watered till run off. GUESS WHAT??????? ph in was 7............. ph out..............5 ... dun dun dun!!!!!! :wooho o:

Sooo how do i go about fixing this? do i flush with just plain h20 or do i add like a 1/4 strength?

I also have a fishtank.... because i have so many rocks and coral in there.... ph is like 8.

good aged water for a flush from the fish tank?

or 7.8 ph out of the tap. Thing is i will not be able to age it. ( not enough bottles) so it will have some clorine in it. Im growing with salt based ferts so microbs are a huge deal.


Thanks for all your help guys!!!!

I dont see anything wrong with your plant. I think you are over reacting.

Just keep feeding them in the proper pH range, stop testing runoff. Stop looking for symptoms and your plants will get better. Stems are supposed to be tough, petioles are often reddish in hue, and it would be more concerning if your new growth was huge. It is new growth after all.

So when you say you have "coral" in your tank im assuming its salt water?

Hey guys.... So Im reviving this post... Plants are starting to look a little funky. they are on day 2 of week 2 of flower, and i want to get this nipped in the but before it gets to bad.

3 gal pots with Promix HP 1 tbl spoon of dolmite lime per container
advanced nutes grow micro bloom @ 2ML/L grow 4ML/L micro and 5ML/L bloom.
They were hit with bud bloom to at the flip.
1 tsb of blackstrap molassase

FEED-WATER-WATER But sometimes i replace a water. with a worm casting tea + humic acids. Black diamond from Gerneral Organics

Under 2 400watt lights. 1 hps 1 mh bare bulb no reflector. ( to minimize heat)
temps 77-79
RH % 65%


So what do you guys see? I do have a specific problem in mind. but i just know somethings not right.


Thanks so much for lending your time to my garden.

Respect and love from Canadian Harvest
