Help! I have a nutrient problem
I am growing four plants from clones. Two are romulan haze and two are G13 x mango. One of each is in soil and one of each is in a hydroponic waterfarm system. After I transplanted my soil plants into three gallon pots they are looking much better. My hydro plants on the other hand are looking kinda burnt.
These plants got burned right when I put them into my waterfarms because I didn't have a tds/ppm meter at the time. When I bought a ppm meter 2 days later I found out that my ppm was around 1900. So I changed my nutrient solution which brought the ppm down to around 650. Eventually the ppm rose back up to over 800 and my plants were still looking burnt. I then added water to my nutrient solution to bring the ppm back down to around 550. After a few days at around 600 ppm I still wasnt noticing an improvement. Finally, last night I emptied out all the nutrients and just put in tap water with a PH adjusted to 6.1. I plan on flushing them like this for about 24 hours.
The first picture is of some of the older and more burnt leaves.
The second picture is of the whole plant. Notice that some of the leaf tips are curling up as well as turing brown.
The third picture is of my hydro romulan haze plant. This one doesnt seem to mind the nutrients quite as much as the first plant (G13 x mango)
It is amazing how much faster the hydroponic plants are growing. You can see how much larger they are than the soil plants in the last picture.
So what do you think? Am I doing the right thing by flushing them for 24 hours? Does it look like there are any nutrient deficiencies? Will the leaves with burnt edges and tips ever recover or should I prune the worst of them off to allow more light to younger healthier leaves?
I have had all 4 of these clones under my 400w MH for 10 days now. Considering their current size and age, what would be a good PPM to put them at when I am done flushing.
As for nutrients I am using GH 3 part nutes at the ratios recommended by the video http://www.seemorebuds.com
Thanks in advance for the help. I really need it considering this is my first grow.towel Reviewed by towel on . Help! I have a nutrient problem I am growing four plants from clones.
