Hydro Nute Problem with pics... Help Needed

[MVP]

Excellent! I am going to update the Cloning thread and was thinking about adding these pics of my newly remodeled Mum/Clone closet.... what do you think?

Hey your clones look GREAT!!...at least from here they do. Yes post those on the cloning thread and how about a few close-ups?

Changed res nutes to the following:

4 gal RO water (no tap)
+ 20 ml Earth Juice Micro Blast (organic) = 100 PPM
+ 4 ml Zone Root Cond = 104 PPM
+ 25 ml CalMag = 414 PPM
+ 75 ml PBP Bloom = 1275 PPM
+ 10ml Liquid Karma = 1330 PPM

PH = 5.8
Nute Temp = 66 F

My buddy is waiting impatiently as I promised we would go 45 min ago..... I'll check back after dinner time.

I have always been told that when the leaves 'pray' up like that, they are transpiring excess moisture, maybe need the solution less often ... I dropped my pumps back a bit when my plants were doing that, seemed to help a lot, and got my humidity down, too :smokin:

I personally think in this case its a def of some kind....I think you are looking at several there.....so perhaps even some sort of reaction from several problems at once? They seem much more intermixed in hydro than in soil. For example...nuteburn raises your ph ....now you have 2 problems....and so on. There is also the issue of ratios and balance to think about imo....too much/too little of this nute/mineral etc can lock out another nute/mineral. So I find the ratios MORE important than the numbers themselves.

My thought here is lack of CalMag. But if that were not the issue.....my next thought would be a ph lockout problem ......especially since again we are seeing SEVERAL defs at once....often a good indicater of ph problems if you are positive certain nutes are available to the plant. In this case...I just don't think they were available in sufficient amounts here rather than ph causing the problem.

It's 720pm right now and I went in there (night time) with my green flashlight; here is what I found happened in the last 5 hours:

1160 PPM
5.9 PH

Gotta run, the movie just started!

:thumbsup: Keep it up. Hungry mommas!!! the more often you can change rez as long as that kind of thing is happening I would daily until you get something steady going. Higher numbers don't necessarily mean the plant doesn't need anything....maybe it means it's not available to the plant or perhaps not in the right ratio....

PS....I know you are going out of town so just do the best you (or your babysitter can)

Good luck.
