Major issues with plants. HELP!!
Okay I've managed to keep the light hour temps to roughly 80 degrees F maybe tops 84 degrees F. I have used spring water to foilage spray each plant at lights on the past two days.
5 of the 6 plants have shown major recovery signs. Two are growing very well and 3 have become "perky" again. the one that was hardest hit I pruned significantly today. I'll have to keep an eye on it but it looks as though there is plenty of new healthy growth at the nodes.
I also picked up a pH testing kit. I tested the spring water and it read in at 6.0 pH. I tested the nute mixed water from the solution of spring water and Dutch nutes and it read between 4.0-5.0 pH (prolly lower 4s) What can i add to the spring water to raise the pH to roughly 6.5-7.0 as i have read is where MJ is happy? Epson salts or something?
Listed (since I now checked outr tap water too):
Bottle Spring water: pH 6.0
Nute+spring water: pH 4.0-4.5
Tap Water: pH 7.5-8.0
Anyway these plants aren't gonna see any nutes for a week or more to try and break them out of the overnute problem.
I will take some pictures at the end of the week but one plant did react okay to the over nute situation and is going crazy. The preflowers are like an inch long and there are literally like 100 or more of them overall on the plant. So I am happy that if other plants don't work out I can still clone from a good plant for the next grow.
I want to really thank everyone for their help on this. I mean I have done extreme amounts of reading over the past few months and still I had a major problem. Live and learn I guess, but I am gonna make a complete list later this week when I post more pics of the materials and nutes I have to work with for my second grow. I bought a few different brands of nutes when I was at the hydroponics store. Now don't interpret that as having availability to this store as it is the closest and is 3 HOURS away. It sucks. But like I said I have another brand called B.C. Boost and Thrive Alive, and Awesome Blossoms.
I also wanna clone using rockwool cubes which I bought like 50 of them at the hydrostore. I could start clones in this and still move them to a soil medium once they have show some significant roots right? Well not the main topic here and I will do some searching to look into it more and post some ideas here.NovaBlue Reviewed by NovaBlue on . Major issues with plants. HELP!!
