So I'm totally new to growing and having an issue with my super silver haze. The info on it is as follows:
4 1000k HPS for lighting
six total plants each in 25 gallon smart pots
soil is 2 parts ocean forest 1 part happy frog and 20% coarse vermiculite
plants are in late veg (actually just flipped today 5/25/2013)
lights are roughly 24"-30" from top of plants
I use Canna products (rhizotonic, bio boost, vega, and flores)
Water every 6-8 days with the third watering just normal water.
Humidity is 30-50%
Temp is 81-70 F
I wait until my plants droop slightly telling me that they need water. That way my soil has time to receive air.
Constant circulation
Use CO2 once an evening for about 10-15 min.
A Can filter hooked up to an 8" fan that is good for 744 cfm with another booster 8" fan that is good for 730 cfm that runs through all of the lights and out the roof of my house.
As this is my first grow ever, I'm still getting the gist of what nutes my plants need when. So, at first I was to believe that they needed Calmag. So, my nute solution was 6 ml of Calmag + 2 ml rhizotonic per gallon. I did that twice in 16 days and noticed a good change. Then tonight, since I just started to flower, I mixed a solution of 2 ml Calmag + 4 ml micro nutrients + 2 ml rhizotonic + 7 ml flores + 4 ml vega per gallon. My pH is between 6.35 and 6.45 and my TDS meter reads between 460 ppm (for the first sequences of watering) and 630 ppm (for the second solution). Water temp is a little chilly at around 59 F but all in all I think everything should be fine, however.
I keep losing about 3 - 15 leaves a night. Usually bigger fan leaves. It is never new growth that is dying. The leaves are mixed in with the others sometimes and other times they are on the bottom. Usually, the leaf begins to turn slightly yellow, then have some dead spots at the tip and edges. Then the tips continue to turn brown and eventually the whole leaf dies. The leave tips usually turn upwards but sometimes they turn to the side.
I have trimmed the inside vegetation as well as some of the lower puny branches to increase air flow and to focus the growth to my main colas.
This is the problem my plants are having from the first sign until it is dead and withered away. Please help if you can!
