Very nice build, once day it shall be the model I use to base my barn off of.
Lookin nice man! The deficiency looks like magnesium from here, but could be potash. Can you get few closer pics? How high are you feeding in Ec? Whats the ph trend been like?
I just pulled my first run out of the small wall tables, did 6 plants per tray, so 12 all together and got 11oz from a useless space that had nothing and a $60 investment, I think itll go way higher cuz I put them things in super smallAwesome work. The carts are great and the little window box planter rigs on the wall, haha.. love it!
What are your yields per 1k with the vertical lamp above the canopy like that? I dangled 9 sixers like this in a bedroom once or twice and despite not having the bulbs dropped into the canopy the yields were still decent.
I'm with Smurf, that large leaf that we can see right there in the empty square. Does look a lot like Mg def to me.
It looks like you put a lot of work into making a really clean & proper room. Congrats!
Why the 6 Gal jugs up on the top shelf if I might ask? Ya must be ripped. Killer bench and work area though. I love these kinda pics. My shit is in a bit of dis-array right now so I appreciate the inspiration.
Very nice space, what size did you end up with for the bloom room
cool grow i love seeing fresh buildout pics. i can empathize with the workload, we started out 40kw in february of 2014 and didn't get a crop plugged and growing until september, its definately a fucking ton of work building a grow from scratch.
the first pic shows a frame but no foundation? did y'all pour the concrete slab after framing or something? also really like that workbench setup pretty clean. and yea id recommend upgrading the mini splits to central ACs if funds and time allow, works way better.
thanks for lookin in...I was thinking CalMag too but I add Epsom salts in week 1-2, might not be enough tho
My PPMs are in the 1200-1400 range thru bloom and PH is from 5.6-6.0
Ok. If you think your adding enough Mg, then i would deduce that the problem is that element is present in the media, but not availiable. It could be locked up by phosphates, potash, calcium, or the ph is too low.
I suggest trying to do 6.0-6.3ph and see what happens. This will open up Mg availiabilty. This should help, even if some is locked up by other elements. Are you using r/o water? And pk boosters?
I grow in coco coir. So my feeding levels are way lower than yours (750ppm max @ 0.5conv). If you are on the same conv scale as me then that means you are running about 2.4-2.8 Ec! That seems like a food program more for hydroponic tomatoes, as they require much more than our plant. Maybe try running 800-1000ppm for a while, as well as doing the ph adjustment.
During signs of deficiency, the biggest mistake i see growers make is to add more stuff to correct it. If you dont know what your seeing or why its happening, flush with mild nutes, adjust ph, and go from there. The first thing you will see on an underfed plant is a nitrogen def, followed by Mg, and then Ca a while after. So if there is no nitro deficiency first, then more than likely the soil has enough food, but the plants just cant access some of it. Just my 2cents bud.
Its a pole barn, so no need for a footing, just drill holes, drop in concrete base "pills" and land the posts, frame it all level and plumb then I poured the floor after the building was completed
Me and a buddy built the entire thing from start to finish in about 4 days of about 7-10 hours per day
A remodel wil lalways take longer than new build but ive built/framed houses for a few years and work in the industry too but doing a pole barn is damn near like doing legos or Lincoln logs, you have to try to fuck it up to get it wrongHoly shit are you serious? :jawdrop:
It took me weeks just to retrofit a shed on my property
Do you have any previous carpentry/contractor experience?
I take my hat off, sir

Glad you figured it out. I had a buddy with this prob once. He never cleaned his equipment. Not saying you dont.
Were the leaves senescing and dropping off? Any signs of epinasty? These are usually common byproducts of ethylene toxcicity.
Have the plants recovered or is it too early to tell?
