hay shake this probably wont help, but ive had similar discolouring before.. and i thought it was my ph dropping suddenly..
hope you get it sorted.. those beans of killas should be sturdy, they will come back for u :thumbsup:

Hey shake,
Just my two cents but 7.2 seems abit high... most pH in hempy i've read about are running between 5.8-6.2
Hope things clear up for you and things go great :jointsmile:
Is that 7.2 for just the RO water or your nute mixture! either way both are too high! like deleafer said the range is 5.8-6.2 anything higher and your gonna run into a lot of nute lockout problems.....seems like your already experiencing that as well....This should be ran like passive hydro or hydro.....soil ph ranges will cause all types of problems....Quote:

Maybe you could add a bit more info shake! Also. you running 50/50 perlite/vermiculite might also be causing problems....with not enough water retention! I never ran anything or seen anything saying 50/50 is a good mixture!
7.2 is the pH of the water before anything is done to it. i get it from one of those machines that dispense water at the grocery store and whatnot.Quote:

i adjust my nute mix to a ph of 6.0 or so, after they are added of course. i know hempys are a hydro system and should be treated as such. give your boy a little credit!
the 50/50 mix was just a starting point as i have read all kinds of ratios. killa you like the 4:1 (perl/verm) if i'm not mistaken. jrosek from IC and that thread you pointed me to likes 60/40 (perl/verm) if i'm not mistaken. so it was merely a starting point.
like is said, i dont' have to water them every two to three days. i can go a week or so between watering them. i've always just lifted them to see if they need water.
i have since recovered from the nute lockout/pH/molasses problems. the plants are looking totally healthy. i will get some new pics up tonight or tomorrow.
i do appreciate all the help and it sucks i can't get back to you guys sooner.
i'll be back later.

Glad to hear they are doing better :thumbsup: can't wait to see how the hempys do for you :jointsmile:
:DHey shake,any updates.-smello

thanks for staying interested.

Hey Shake,
Long time no talk. I haven't had a chance to go through your whole log yet but I'm curious why you switched the WH to soil.
We just popped a few WH's. They'll be going into hempy buckets soon.
Later,

what's going on MC? glad to see you back on the boards! i hope all is well with you and yours.Quote:

(i do have a new meter!) so i will be playing with hempys again, just had to get everything right to do so.
learn from my mistakes my friend! good to see you again.
good growing!
