New guy with too much money spent on grow to have problems

[jeremylippens]

Ok I'm new and have had many issues but I read a lot and this makes no sense. I am growing in a 2 gallon Rez. ( whole kit bought for a grand). Mars led. And the plants I'm posting here are aurora indica. Now with this being my very first dwc I have made many mistake. The most recent being that this plant after 3 weeks flower the timer broke went full on for 3-4 days. I noticed the yellowing mid plant right away and started trying to adjust nutes for it when it wasn't the problem. It was the lights. So here are my plants. I have a large strong root system. But this plant has yellowed and lost leaves all the way to the top. I have now emptied the Rez and filled with ro water at 5.7. Tell me what what you guys

I think what is off for me is when I add 1/4 strength nutes for one gallon even though it's 2 gallon. It shows nut burn to me.

Guessing - With Mars led you might be getting little light to the bottom of the plant?
Maybe next time (in veg) you should scrog it, bending tying and pruning to get all the bud sites at the same height, in a flat canopy

2 gallon rez. is that right?

 

[jeremylippens]

Yes sir

Murphy's law in full effect, the more ya spent, the more problems ya have

not the light, low nutes with a cal/mag issue

 

[chemphlegm]

1/4 nutes =1/4 results?
surprised?
I followed the directions of more than a dozen hydro nutrient systems
used in half a dozen different hydro feeding designs and a hundred different cup winners., and they all worked with ease and perfect results. I had terrible results with every led light I ever used.

 

[jeremylippens]

Thank you. The weird thing is when I do get them up to about 6-800 ppm the tips start browning. So I back off. I'm just at a loss

 

[jeremylippens]

I flushed the Rez yesterday and haven't put any nutes in it any suggestions on what to add to the 2 gallons. I have gh flora series and cal mag. On hand

2 gal is really really small. not much room for root growth and keeping the water cool would also be an issue

The "stealth" box I bought came with it pretty much a turn key op I put the aurora in it and it has done very well right up to when the timer broke and the lights where on for 3 days straight. The last grow was a animal cookie and it did very well. The funny thing is the other 2 aurora are in for soil and they only got about 8" tall and are doing the same thing I'll see if I can post those also

It's been a long summer with a 2 gallon Rez for sure

Not enough information. Light wattage, height from plants, what nutes what area the box is, stuff like that. If the used Flora you wouldn't need to add cal mag, which would throw it out of balance. How often do you change the solution, what's the water quality. Is it the Flora 3 part or FloraNova. You gave us very little to work with to identify your problem. Looks like simple nitrogen deficiency or just not enough light. And Mars suck, you know that right? Would actually be better off putting some LED lightbulbs in there.

Also, you said the Aurora also fucked up in soil outside. Where did you get the plants, from seed or a clone? Could just be a crappy plant. Maybe a crappy strain, never investigated it. Doesn't look very Indica to me. You also said you spent a lot of money, in the thread title. On that box? Because it ain't worth much by the looks of it. Is there even a fan anywhere in that thing? Probably got hot as fuck in there.

The mars light say 102 watts. The box is only 4 ft in height. I use the flora trio and cal mag as nutes the light as you can kind of see is about 13-16 inches above the longest cola. I personally change the water every 7 days. Every sat morning. I had read that 1/4 nutes always for the plants in dwc.

 

[jeremylippens]

The box is outside in my shed

 

[whitebb2727]

You spent way too much for that setup. You could've bought it separate for less than half.

Other than the weak light i think your problem is changing your water every 7 days. Are you adding back to the rez durring those 7 days? What are you adding back? Im no hydro expert but for a rez that small 7 days seems wrong i would do it every other day.

 

[jeremylippens]

Usually plain ph water till sat

Your not feeding enough. And you need more light,I feed every other day in soil. By 1st week of flower full strength

 

[jeremylippens]

I'm really don't think I could fit a bigger Rez in the cab due to the light then. Being way to close and not able to lift if far enough away once she stretches I really have to be able to close it up and hide it. What other kind of light do you think for this box. I'm not mass growing at all just personal meds
