H) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. advanced nutes 3 part. Im going according to what the bottle states. I had luck using the grotek nutes but this is the first time im using advanced and my girl is suffering?
I) What is the ec/ppm of your unadjusted tap (or filtered) water??? dont have ppm meter
J) What is the ec/ppm of your nutrient solution?dont have ppm meter
K) What is the temperature of your nutrient solution? (high and low temps) lower temps algae has been completely elimanated from res.
L) Does your ec/ppm show a rise or fall when you do your daily PPM check?
M) Does the ph fluctuate?I adjust ph to 5.5 with the nutes and ph usually increases to 6.0 with in about 24 hours. After that it gets to about 5.8 steady
N) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you
spray? (Just after lights come on, just before they go out...)no never

O) What size of closet, room or hut?2ftx4ft
P) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off?lights on 83 and humidity is around 35% alll the time. I'm running the girl with lights on for 24 hours. I know this light schedule is not natural but i've done it in my last 3 grows without any issues.

One more issue that I feel would be good for you guys to know, I currently have been smoking meds inside the closet due to the cold temps outside. Will this have anything to do with the situation that I an having?

Picture upload seems to be broken.
Perhaps if you describe the issue, someone can help.
I do have one question.
"algae has been completely elimanated from res"
How, exactly, did you do that?
Might just be the problem.
Algae, is relatively harmless.
Some algae killers are not.

Are you asking if the plants would be offended by you smoking cannabis in fromt of 'em? <kidding>
I smoke a few cigarettes in my flowering shed every day, especially on really hot and really cold days. It has adequate ventilation, and it's never been an issue.
If you go to your User CP, and hit the Pictures and Albums tab on the left menu, you can upload pix. But in a post, all you can do right now is add the link to that picture here in your post. A big pain in the ass, but it's best to actually see what you're refering to.
If you have no ph test kit (the ones for freshwater aquariums work fine for newcomers) go online and look for your city water quality report. It'll tell you the local water ph, PPM...stuff like that. then let us know the answers to those questions you had to skip. The info is very important to your ladies.

Well, I think the light that was coming in from the tubing for the airstone was causing some algae to build up around the tube that I would just have to wipe off when I would swap res every week. It never was a problem for my other DWC's but this plant for some reason has gotten really outta control. I didn't use any chemicals or anything to get that little bit of algae that building up.

I posted some pics to give you guys a better idea of how crappy she really looks.
I have a PH pen and ph testing strips and both of them suggest that the ph is in the 5.7 range. This is her third week tomorrow and I haven't seen her ph go any higher then 6.0 and any lower then 5.4. I just picked up some distilled water so I don
t use my well water but I don't know whether I should mix more nutes or just give her straight water? I am completly lost guys and I think this is the first time I've not had ANY idea what to do!!!
Somebody please help:hippy:

Your pics look like potential root rot. Can you upload a pic of the roots?
I am by no means a seasoned grower, but that is what I experienced when they got root rot.

Pics of roots have been posted in my album. They are brownish but I think that is due to the nutes?

"I had luck using the grotek nutes but this is the first time im using advanced and my girl is suffering?"
Maybe that's your problem. Looks like you've got fert burn on the leaf tips. You've got to reduce the strength.

I still have the grotek however I was inspired by the the 20% more yield guaranteed by Advanced Nutrients. I thought the plant was having some type of deficiency instead of over nuting because I was only giving 3/4 strength.

guaranteed ? then return the AN nutes and go back to what ur use to.to increase yields 20% or more INVEST in a EC or PPM meter and tweak the grotex. sorry ....NO guarantees !!!!! a good EC/PPM meter will cost less than that AN snake oil and will be much much more usefull.
