Greetings. First post, but really enjoyed following many threads here.
I have an issue that I'm having a hard time figuring out. When in veg (and in flower too I'm sure), after say 3 weeks or so, I cannot keep my roots white. Rather they start browning, then slowly stop drinking, and the plants slow their growth dramatically. If i transplant to a bigger pot, they are ok for a couple weeks, then start the same process over and over. I'm afraid this is happening once I'm in flower also, where my yields and quality have been struggling compared to years past.
Clones are from a cloner.
Plant in 1 gal plastic pots for 2.5 weeks.
They then go inito 5 gals plastic.
Veg lighting t5's.
Temp 76F.
RH 60%.
PH going in 6.0-6.1
Nutes-I've used house and garden soil, veg bloom, and now i'm on jack's nutrients 321. All seem to have similar results.
Well water. 110ppm.
RO'd it's at about zero. I'm using the RO to mix with Jacks.
I'm watering every other day.
The example I'll use with pics is this 1 gal plant. After about 3 weeks, they go from drinking a bunch, to slowing down drinking, to drinking very little. Roots turn brown, and you can see the plant suffering on the leaves.
Currently I'm in 5 gals for 13 days. The roots look great, and are spiralling the pots. I'm afraid in another week, they'll start doing the same thing though.
Any thoughts?
