well, the ph was checked and found to be at about 5.1-5.2 so some hydrated lime was added to get it at about 5.8-6.
Could this have been a cause?
The reason this wasnt noticed is because generally the ph was too high and would only go up. This is the first time it has been too low or gone down. Must get back on the ol ph checking tradition.
They were pretty darn dry after not watering for a full 24 hours, but the condition didnt get any better.
I didn't/can't believe you topped them/shocked the shit out of them...you might've signed their "Death Warrant" doing that...Oh well...NEXT!
yea my foaf is a total moron :P
when you need to raise the PH.. just add more water if you can... try not to put anything unnecessarily into your water
Have you checked your tap water...
when your water comes straight from the tap what is the PPM...?
something is fishy here
Your roots are a healthy WHITE.. correct?
this case will be solved..
thanks for al the picks sandman...
: )
unfortunately my foaf has no ppm meter. The roots are pretty healthy white looking. All I know is the tap water has a ph of about 8.
There was about 1 gallon of fresh water added through the pots earlier to try something different. The plants still look the same though.
There is some wierd tapering of the stem at the base of most plants though that is kinda freaky, along with some discoloring of the leaves and stems....
I wish my foaf had more experience. Also I wish that they wouldnt die and would all be perfect in the morning....Im so sad.
anyone?
the nute rezevoir was changed out, and it was noticed that there was a bunch of what looked like salt stuff all over the bottom, and the nute solution was very red. So that was replaced with fresh water, and this time we went with natural spring water in 1 gallon jugs from the sto. The nutes used were GH 3 part and we went with the mild 1 tspn per gallon of each micro, bloom and grow. Hope to god that these monkeys will pull it out of there ass and come back!
Is it recomended to try some super thrive?
something is seriously wrong... I would stick with very very little nutrients and make sure your ph is 6.8...
sorry I don't have the answer
: (
6.8? I dont know why but I could swear that a PH of about 5.5 was recomended to my foaf by someone somewhere...
I love you too!
