curling leaves question

[mountainman]

Hey Latewood. The plant was looking pretty good after flushing it for a day. Then I replaced the flush water with a light nutrient solution. I was a little worried at first, cause a few hours it started looking wilted, kinda like the heat stressed plants at the beginning of this post. But, next morning, my gf and I woke up to find a great, erect looking plant. I was pretty damn happy.

I added some Earth Juice Catalyst again, no problems at all. I'm not gonna add those silicates again, I kinda wonder if it could have been some impurities in those. I guess the lesson I learned here is, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" I didn't need the silicates when I added them, so it was a dumbass move on my part. But as I said, I don't know for sure if that's what cause the problems, and I'm not about to test that hypothesis either ;-)

As far as the superthrive, the local hydro store here carries it. Is it worth the expense? What are the advantages going to be? I'll drop the cash if it's worth it.

12/12 cycle was induced last night, as they need to be sexed before a trip. I'll give the boy/girl results when they're in ;-)

Make sure you read this thread and decide if you actually need it, you don't wanna overload your system with anything you don't need :-)

all i am using is bog standard potting peat and im using canna vega once every 2 weeks with a watering of just water in between feeds ill post some pics so ya can see what the problem is i really need to do something about this thanks all

The burnt tips make me think nutrient burn, but the evenly yellowed leaves puzzle me. However, did you adjust the ph of your peat? Pure peat usually needs to be adjusted before use. Someone else could fill you in on that concept better than I.

i havent checked any ph balance and dident know ya had to ajust potting peat befour use i will get a ph testing kit when im in town and see, what should the recommended ph balance be for my plants and should i use epsom salts if its over or under the recommended balance cheers mountainman

If I remember right, soil should be around 6.8. As far as the other questions, hopefully Latewood or Zandor can fill you in, as I'm not extremely experienced. I just know some basics :-)
