Indoor Grow with GrowDots

[Sellncars]

Hello everyone,

I have an indoor grow going, today is week 5 of flower. I have 3 plants going in a 4x4 tent. My soil is Foxfarm Ocean Forest, I decided to try the growdots, went with the medium amount needed per gallon container. My containers are 10 gallon. The ph when i water has been at 6.3, and after i flush the plants, the runoff Ph is at 5.8, and the ppm is at 1800 and change. They seem to be growing ok, but some of the leaves have been turning yellow and brown. Any idea's? Nute Burn? How do i stop this? Or just keep going forward until they are finished?

Overpriced Osmocote.

Correct!! Never again!! You have no control over it.

Are there any grow journals completed with the dots?

Those pelletized time release fertilizers are hard to keep control of. You cant flush a meduium with time realeased granules it doesnt work it just realeases more. Are you using more than just the grow dots for fertilizer?

No, I've only been using the grow dots. Just PH'D water.

Your plants are very well fed. The leaves are dark green, and some are starting to claw.
Like you said, you committed your plants to a jail sentence with those time release granules.
I would let them serve out their sentence with only plain water and hope for the best.

I agree with @7CardBud theres not much you can do now. The granules are in there and there is no turning back. Plain water I wouldnt even PH it so you dont have to add anymore chems unless your water is super acidic or basic and you must, otherwise that 10 gallon pot will easily buffer and keep the ph in range until you harvest if you're just using plain water. Water till theres a good amount of runoff each time and you should be good. Keep us posted and good luck.
