Re-occuring tip burn/WALL of text

Here are the current pic's of my clones today (4 weeks in the system), before they have been fed with the lower PPM's.

I don't like the drooping already, even after just one watering. Is there any CalMag in the mix? You said you split some with distilled. Perhaps 1ml/g CalMag. There is really no way to know what is in your water unless you have it tested......what's that 300+ of in there? And what did the Brita do since the number rose instead of dropped but your plants weren't drooping before weret they?

What is that stuff in the bottom of your res? Do you believe it's sediment from your water or sediment from your nutes?

@WeedHound - In my 40g resv.there is no CalMag in the mix. Its 30 gallons [email protected] Tap (no brita) and [email protected] Ionic Grow.

I couldn't tell you what it was, kind of almost a sandy type of sediment, it could have been from nutes or my water I'm not sure. I think you may possibly be right about adding alittle CalMag however, before I came to work the plants were still looking droopy and they hadn't been watered yet this morning, I'll let you know how they look after a couple of waterings later today...if they are still droopy I may consider adding like 1ml/gal. CalMag to my 30gal. of water I have in there right now. I think that would probably bump me up to alittle over [email protected] total in the resv. What do you think WeedHound?

I bought a gallon of distilled, put 50/50 CalMag/Ionic Grow sitting at [email protected] PPM Total in the gallon jug to water my seedlings. I can post a picture of them later today if you wish.

just my 2cents I picked up from hydro-growers about nutes:

if you don't have just a tiny bit of tip burn -- you're not pushing your plants enough... not enough nutes.

:smokin:

Well, that was actually my plan, but since I was frying the shit out of them like a day ago (lol) I don't know what my window is anymore. At this point, I'm just trying to see if I can find an equalibrium with these clones before I'm ready to transplant my seedlings into the system. What my goal is, is for these clones to start showing signs of good healthy growth and also get me used to playing around with PPM's and such before I attempt putting my seedlings in my resv. They are of the utmost importance to me now and I'm going to try everything in my power this time to try and not screw them up for once. My biggest concern at this point is my room temp. I'm sitting in the low 80's inside the tent during the hottest hours of the day, dropping down to low 70's at night (lowest temp. is 68 at night because I have a space heater in there set at 68 degree's). When it gets hotter outside getting closer to summer I'm not sure how hot it will get in there but I'm assuming hotter. I really want to avoid having to put a window air conditioner in that room because I've got it set up very nicely right now for security. I have an ozone machine that really does a decent job killing the smell but I try not to run it much because I'm afraid it would dmg the plants if I ran it all the time. I don't know =\

@WeedHound - Well I've tested my PH and PPM's. My PH went up from 5.6 to 5.7 in the resv. The PPM's have not changed and still are sitting at [email protected] ([email protected] tap water, [email protected] Ionic Grow). The clones are still looking somewhat floppy and a couple of the new larger leaves tips are pointing down, almost curling down. I was thinking about putting 1ml/gal. of CalMag in there but I'm not sure if thats what I should do...I'll probably wait for a response from you WH. However, the new growth is looking really healthy in coloring.

My other concern is my seedlings...the leave are looking rough, like bubbled and ragged I guess. I can't think of a good way to describe it. Maybe crinkled up sort of. What do you think I should do? To let you know I was watering the clones in the beginning with [email protected] water before I had gotten my PPM pen and now I'm watering it with [email protected] (50/50 CalMag/Ionic Grow). I had also lowered my lights yesterday so that could be a possibility but I'm not sure.
