i'm not sure how "good" the water is. but i can tell you these clones were grown over the summer outdoor using the same water. all i did was ph it and add nutes before watering as it wasn't hydro. so i doubt it was water.

the reason i didn't water them was because the pots were very saturated. after a day of skipping water i could pick them up and tilt them and get a couple drips. i'm not worried about mold right now as whatever is happening has slowed the growth to where there aren't any buds to speak of.

i said this was a dup setup of one that works well- when i first started it i had the tray fill pump set to 10 minutes. we thought that was what the other setup was doing but it turns out it was only 6 minutes. so with the extra 4 minutes i was pushing more water which is why i backed it off.

i apprecaite your advice about the sulfer pot, but am i correct in thinking you believe this condiditon is just from under-watering? i was thinking i might have locked them up from hitting them too hard combined w/ over-watering but wasn't sure how to proceed. i wil set the watering timer back to its regular cycle tonight and see how it goes.

so it doesn't look like nute burn or a mag def? i thought that because i noticed some of the leaves have purplish stems + few of the plants are starting to get purple color in the stalks would indicate a mag defiency?

should i add epsom salts to the res?

thanks again

One problem is it looks & sounds like under watering too. Strange

Remember clones inherit the age of the mother so after the first week of switch you should only use 1/2 strength the first 5-day's or so then bump it up. You are using CO² and pushing them but it sounds like you may not be giving then enough nutrients to keep up with the rest of the push.

I use Epson salt in the res tank not as a foil spray. Moist leaves with just Ph adjusted water and maybe a little B1 is fine in vegetation cycle and the first 2 weeks of flower but after that you run into chances of bud rot. When you have a spare buck or 200 lying around you should think about a sulfur pot. If you have mold that will kill it fast and not harm the plants or the taste.

You may want to put some kiddy play sand on top of the dirt for your plants; it looks like there may be some roots on top of the soil.
