Hello all,
Iā??ve been lurking around here for a while now, actually was a member years ago, can't seem to remember my name here.
I need some serious help. I am open to all possible answers; please respond with your thoughts.
I am on my 4th growthis time, about 50 or so in my life, and have been having a problem with most new growth shoots, weather in soil or hydro, and I am lost and canā??t seem to fix it. Any new shoots, clone or from seed, seems to shrivel up. Sometimes it dosent happen until my plants grow a few feet, then it hits, and scews me all up.
Let me say that my water is hard, close to 275ppm from the tap, and over 400ppm from my well. It seems to have started as soon as I used the well water.
After a few weeks and seeing all the curling and twisting I switched back to the tap water. It hasent really helped. Even clones I have given away to friends seem to continue with this. My water pH range is always between 6.9 and 7.2.
I tried rain water ph corrected to just about 7 for my soil and about 5.8 to 6 in my hydro, however it does drift down low at times.
The condition seems worse with the rain water, so now Iā??m mixing in about 1/3 tap.
My nutes are peters 20-20-20 in soil, and have tried most hydro nutes as directed sometimes a bit under or over depending on the stage. Mostly use BC, Botanicare and GH products, doesnā??t seem to make a difference which brand I use. In the winter I thought it was getting too cold at night around 65 degrees, but my room has been a steady 75 to 80 for months now, and itā??s getting bad affecting most of my plants.
It seems if I add calmag, it gets worse, and Epsom salts doesnā??t seem to help, I thought it was mag deficient. In the winter it seems to subside after adding more peters to soil, but the hydro never got too bad. But is starting to affect everything now. Now I have a few strains, from NYC Diesel, White Skunk, G13, White widow, Sour Diesel, Chronic, Ice, and OG Kush, and maybe a few others. I am in danger of losing my strains. I have made so many changes like ph up or down, flush and water with 5 ppm rain water and dumping nute tanks to remove the calcium I thought was causing it. Iā??m lost please help. I am going to try to add some photos here.
