revanche's dwc problem

[Revanche21]

You've got a wicked N overdose from all that superthrive. The upper LH plant in the first 2 pics confirms that. Soft, dark green, cupped, lush but dull growth. Did you read the instructions on the bottle? It reads, "a drop a gallon". One drop = app. 1/40 mL. Do the conversion from mL to teaspoons to see how badly you overdosed the plants. Where do you see a listing of the micronutrients in SuperThrive? It's not a micro supplement. It's a hormone, and has a crapload of urea in it as well.
Use a micro supplement for micronutirents. GH makes one for hydroponics.

With all that secondary growth, it actually looks like you'd be okay to flower. Looks like more than 5 nodes to me actually. But get them healthy first.

I am not trying to dis your game, but you are reinventing a perfectly functional wheel. Go pick up the GH 3 part and some calmag and run the way that works. If you cannot afford the $20 USD for a pint each of grow, bloom, micro, and the $15 for a test/up/down pH kit, you should consider growing outdoors, where you can use practically any fertilizer you've got kicking around (not the azalea stuff though). Your electricity costs more than that!

I know, and I thank you for your help after the problem first started, I DID order the correct hydroponic ferts that I should have been using, I skimped out and now im paying for it, lesson learned :\

node is set of leaves? theres 5 major sets
the directions for superthrive say 1/4tsp per gallon I figured 1.5 tsp was only 1/4th over :\ ill do a flush again lol

*edit*

actually going to drain a gallon and add regular water to dilute the solution and wait until the correct nutrients show up

i was told to use only a drop of Superthrive per gallon or i would burn my plants, very strong shit as i understand it
anyway, toke on

bozo,
peace, love, dope

Huh. My bottle of ST says one drop. I is confused. Be careful with that stuff- it's IMHO best reserved for soil growers to use as a transplanting solution. It is primarily meant to reduce the stress of moving a root ball into a new home.
But since you are going into flower you need to completely stop using it anyway. It actually hurts bud-set with all that N and hormones. I'd change the res completely to remove all ST from the system. I'm glad you are getting some easier fertilizer to use!

Yup, a node is the bump on the stem where each set of leaves comes out.

Thank you for all your help, maybe if I don't get all lazy Ill set up a grow journal for everything that has happened so far, so others can not make the same mistake haha wish me luck!

lol good luck, you're not the first person to overdose on a Thrive product, and no doubt you won't be the last.

I petrified one of my brand new seedllings with too much ST .....hard as a rock.....used the the little tap root as a toothpick and almost took my eye out with it......:wtf:

Good luck

Grower friend says pH needs to be 5.5

Text says 5.2 is optimal

Stinky says 5.5 is way too low

other growers recommend around 6.0

Currently the setup is at 6.0

What to do?

I would keep on the safe side and stick with something around 6, whether that be slightly more acidic or less, by like .2 or so.

Dude! Look at the date before you resurrect an old post like this. OP posted this back in MAY!! Which means the grow is finished and harvested, or the plants died. Either way there's no point in replying this late.
