damnit, i ran into more problems. last week and the week before i was using about 4-5 gallons of water, and last weeks mix was with the foxfarm grow big and big bloom with some hygrozime mixed in and as you all saw my plants were doing really good. foxfarm has a weekly schedule and you always change up the nutes every week. on the schedule week one and two were what i was using, now week three said use just the grow big. the hygrozime is something i throw in there to help protect against algae and boost the roots. i also had 3 little sample packets of liquid karma around and this week i threw in 5 gallons of water mixed in with 75ml of grow big and 60ml of hygrozime and the 3 sample packets of liquid karma. i ph balanced it and left it alone. an hour later, the ph was like 1.0 or something and the plants looked like they had nute burn on them and i instantly rebalanced the ph and left them alone for another hour. the next hour, they looked still kinda crappy so we took out a gallon of nute water and replaced it with a gallon of regular purified water and ph balanced it again. before i changed the water there was algae growth all over the airstones and the inside of the bucket and i scrubbed it all out with just a TINY bit of bleach. anyway, i think the weakest plant in the middle had root rot cuz the roots arent even half the size as the bigger ones. i think this plant is shocked as hell, and when i did change the nutes yesterday there was prolly only 1-2 gallons in there and the small plant couldnt reach the water and it wilted up but it is coming back. anyway, i know theres a lot of trial and error in this but did taking out the big bloom nutes fuck it up? i was just going by the weekly schedule and the plants freaked. i of course, have more pics, and a close up of a leaf so you all can see what exactly is diseasing my babies, if not nute burn. i hope they're gonna be okay
Anastrophy Reviewed by Anastrophy on . do these plants look healthy? hey everyone ive posted a few times before. this is my first setup and i know that theres all sorts of grow faq's out there and ive read them and ive learned a shitload in the time that ive been doing this. all three of these plants are roughly 2 weeks old, give or take a day in between their sprouting time. im using a 95w fluorescent grow light, 4 gallons of purified water in the resevoir, using foxfarm nutes and some hygrozime which the hydro shop dude suggested, and i spray them once a day Rating: 5
