2nd time grow (love dis shit) need some help

WHats going Fellow cultivators, This is my second grow, First grow went pretty well, However i had some very light buds about 4oz produce total , 4 plants. I think this was due to my grow room temps + i had some night fixes with light leaks. MY room is set up now with no future problems. Ok, heres where i ran into some trouble. Im using Biotanic Organic Grow which is a 2-1.5-2 solution for veggie. 3 of my plants are awsome doing really well. but one is lookin shitty and other on its way out the door, I got some seeds from a deliveryservice in nyc. Some trainwreck and haze. MY best plant is just a normal seed from some pretty good bud. The tainwreck plants are looking good to. So thats 3 good plants 1 ok plant and 1 bad plant. I think the 1 ok plant might just look the way it does naturally, no imperfections in color but the leaves are curling on the edges. The one bad plant is curling like ramhorns. and is browing and leaves are dying. the brown spots occur at the base (worse) to about mid plant where its not that bad. and then the newest leaves are starting to dry out. pH is good, temp is about 80 lights on. full hydro system, drips 24/7. 50-60% humidity 3 inch pods, in rubbermaid bins, grow rocks, seperate resevoir. 400wtt light. any help greatly appreciated im about 4 weeks into veg.

Where can i upload pics?

2nd pic trainwreck
3rd pic my poor haze i think its haze

Huge zoom so if u cant see anything ur blind perfect pics i need input

if you have a drip sytem turn it off!
the plants will struggle against the flow of nutrients 24 hrs a day
if it is a dripper system! run say five minutes every three hrs or soo!
i cant work out what system that is!
you have small basckets of arlita in what!?
dripping into what!?is that rockwool!
info info info!

OK, the plants are planted ingrow rocks, the rubber maid container holds the roots and drains under too a resevior.

I thought the plants could run under the nutrients allday long as long as the root s didnt rot.., Plus there is a drainage, so the roots dont sit in the nutrients, but rather are just saturated all day. Im running the drip system now 15 mins every 2 1/2 hrs, best timer i could find was 15 min intervals. So well see what changes i can see. ill post some pics in a couple days.

I also just set the lights from 20/4 to 18/6 maybe this will help as well. and flushed my roots with some clean poland spring. i also have hard water ppm is up there my calcium is through the roof, i ussually just go light on the nutes, dont have a ppm meter cause ever time i went to buy one i had other thisng to get like a blower or carbon filter and they cost like 50 bucks i would ebay one but my mom would kill me haha :smokin: my ph is yellow i think thats about 5.5 6.0 and it goes up every 2 days to about 7 and i pull it back down to 5.5.

Humidity level a tad high, shoot for 30-50 (50 being high lvl)

hey whats up fellow greenthumb.....

heres what i gather by your pics and info

#1 . you need more air than nute solution, plants are like us.... we need food, but we have to have o2..... time your drippers to flow for about 5-15min. every 4-8hrs and make sure your roots get plenty of air (w/o dryin out of course)

#2. if youre adjusting your ph from 7 to 5.5 at one time youre stressin your plants... it is advised in the "cannabis grow bible" that if you change your ph more than 0.5 a day, it puts a pretty large amount of stress on the plants, and what are you using to control the ph.... i just use lemon/lime juice with 2 ml. of h202 per gal. and ive had good luck with that

#3 i take it your using those 5 in 1 strips to test your nute solution... if so, the scale stops at 6.2 ph.. if youre pure yelllow, youre about 4.5-5.0 ... i personally tend to see my ph jumping around when i try to keep it low like that... it always wants to jump up for some reason..... i personally would keep it around 5.7-6.5

thats just my .02 though

keep us updated, id like to see the outcome of this

good luck:thumbsup:
