haha thanks for the guess. Man, theres just so much stuff to type. I really want your opinion on this though so here goes. I just went and shot some pics like 5 mins ago btw. Anyways, this is my first time growing, I have a very simple, small setup. I use cubes in a recirculating drip system. Im about 1 to 2 weeks from harvesting. Iv been on flora nova bloom since a week into flowering at about 1200 ppm on my hanna meter.About 2 weeks later i added the cool bloom at 250ppm and reduced the flora nova to 1000ppm. My problems started when my PH got to low, around 5.0-5.1 which was around the same time i added the cool bloom. I corrected that and the leaves on top looked a little better and it stopped getting worse. The next issue was fungus knats. Thats when the black spots started showing up and leaves started dyeing. I killed all those bastards and my black spot problem might be slowing down, i cant really tell. My girls are definetly shedding though. Generally I like to keep the ph around 5.8-6.0 which is proving to be fairly tricky. Especially because im to cheap to buy ph up and rockwooll sucks. The first part of my grow all the ph did was go up, now all it does is go down, and yes i presoaked my cubes overnight before i used them. My temp and humidity is decent 75 to 80 with lights on 70-75 lights out, humidity right 40-50% Water/nutrient temp is always right around 72 degrees. I run a 400 watt light in a 2x2 space which is way overkill, and since its my first grow i veged to long and have overgrown monsters. I guess thats a common newby mistake, live and learn. Thats what i say at least. Thank you for taking the time to try and help, its greatly appreciated. It sounds like i need to dust my wallet off and get some higromite and some pots.
