Are you sitting down? Just kiidding...well live and learn. I will try and help you figure out what is going wrong, but 1st.
You say you are doing rubbermaid and everything is done right...Well explain it to me please?
You say you nutrient ppm readings are low enough not to have problems...clearly you have problems. So, we need to start form info/scratch...OK?
ppm/ec meter...make/model?_________________
tap or distilled/ro water?____________________
what ph is water before nutes?_________________
ph meter...make/model?____________________
ph after nutes mixed?________________________
how do you adjust your ph?_____________________
what kind of nutes are you using?___________________
how do you mix you solution?___________________
what additives?____________________
are you growing in a box...a closet....a room?_________________
what kind of lights?___________________
location of ballast?_____________________
exhaust/ac?_______________________
room temps?_____________
canopy area temps?_______________
answer these for me and maybe we will find something. peace later
ok, 2 rubbermaids which both drain into a res, top feed system netpots with hyrdoton. The drippers run all the time as the root just hang.
sunleaves tds meter not sure model
Well water 220ppm
i use a ph standard water kit(not elec.)
ph is about 7.5 before anything
never checked ph after nutes add, i just ph it to 5.8
i use ph down from the store
Pure blend pro bloom and liquid karma
i just put in ussually half recomended and stir
liquid karma
closet 4x8 (4x3 actually grow space)
400wtt hps
balast is in the room
exhaust 465cfm blower+carbon filter
room temps 80/68
85
Wow...sounds good. temps you want to try and get into low 70's in flower. It looks like toxic salt build-up???despite all the measures you took...I am kind of stumped. Heat can also contribute to those problems...what is humidity in closet?
best thing I can advise is flush completely.
perhaps you can get them back on track, but from the looks of them, the damage is done. I would consider flushing and taking the most damaged plants and harvesting them. leave the healthy one/s to finish. I use the exact system (partially, I have so many different systems)(right now I am vegging in this type of drip system and transfer to bubblers for flowering)
and you shouldn't have any problems with this. Anyway goodluck and let me know what you decide to do>>>When you start again...we will go from scratch. peace
oops
humididty is at 40% which def. contributes to anything bad happening faster. It could be toxic build up too much salts stuck in the net pots, i keep flushing it, but maybe it only works so well. yeah im so close to harvesting them all anyway. At this point i cant even tell if she is comming back around. Unfortunately the damage is done. but the buds are still lookin ok and very resinous. NOt a complete waste, however her buds would have been alot faTTER, well see hows she smokes. thank you every one for your concerns input and advice. Sometimes even if you dont get help the support is all you need.
i think combined, organic nutes, with rockwool 1" cubes + hydroton, is the problem, ive been noticing what i thought was little root rot, was nutes just chillin all up and over the roots. now in the pots i dont kno cause i cant see in them and flushing doesnt seem to work. you need to us your foilar spray bottle on jet to get it off. now the sick plants roots arent bad they look very good and i dont see any build up like on some of the others, however inside the pot may be diferent ive spent a good 30 mins diggin out hydroton and just spraying the roots, getting rid of any excess build up. i think with the rockwool its killing the abilty for the water to just run strait down and out. I would seriously crack up if this was a strain llike jack herrer, and ofcourse i have no idea. well bag seeds will do this i guess.
ok, as im nearing the end of my pacience, i harvested her, she got some nice buds, and to my surprise there purple, didnt see this until now, really not sure how i missed it, i think the strain is trainwreck. Anyways back to my other babies so i dont ruin the rest of them. thnx guys, i tired to take some picks of her manicured but my camera kept spittin out blurry picks i need to get a tripod.
