rest of story 001.jpgrest of story 002.jpgrest of story 003.jpgrest of story 005.jpgChanged out res. 5-8-16 + 100ml botanicare cal/mag. No adjustment needed for ph. Room temp 77, rh 51. Thought I'd put up pics of the rest of things. Time to hurry up and wait. Thanks again for the responses!

The schedule they show has you using alot but I found it's not really all needed. You can keep it at 1200ppm the whole grow. And I've been changing the tank every 2 weeks or more just add half base nutes after a week. It's costly to buy at first but saves money in the long run. Getting 1.5 grows out of 1 set now. And 3 out of the veg nutes. Haven't seen any def yet.

View attachment 2115619Better days. Hashplant. They got a little leafburn from "gravity", but this is 6 buckets and that fan is 5ft from floor. incredible smoke...been chasin' the dragon ever since!
Hey bro that gravity is some tricky stuff! If added to soon, late or to much will fuck your hole crop up with no
Way to correct it. Little food for thought!

Thanks Warlock. Years ago I used to push it up to 16-1800ppm's. I found the same thing. I rarely go over 1200 at any stage anymore. Keep the tips coming ya'all. You're making growing fun again!

I no longer use it. If all is right buds will be plenty dense. luckily that batch just burned some leaves, still good smoke.

Upper medium size fan leaves "taco'ed" or "canoe'ed" on 3 of 6 plants. Not much change other than that. Almost time for technaflora...or soil.

just some food for thought in your pics above it looks like your light is kinda close to your plants i keep my 1k's tied all the way to the top of my tent. i have heard people say this and that about distance with a 1k but i keep mine way up there and when i have moved them closer have noticed nothing but neg outcome. tacoing/canoeing is a sign of intense light stress in some cases. just a thought its prably going to take some time for them to show a comeback.

Thanks for the heads up. I actually raised my light since pic. It's 30-36 inches from tops right now. I'm gonna give it one more day and then update with pics. I also calibrated my meter again just to get that off my mind. I just have to get these healthy and into flower cause I have a flight to catch in 11 weeks and they need to harvested by then. 8 week strain so gives me 2 weeks to solve this. Actually it gives ya'all 2 weeks to solve this as I failed.

Umm if your flight is in 11 weeks flower now. 1 week is transition and then 8 to harvest. So that's 9. 1 week to dry now your at 10. 1 week to cure and get your jars to 45% humidity so you can store them long term. And like hr sometimes 12/12 helps clear this up.

18-24 is the best for 1000's but it really depends on the heat at the canopy. Sometimes 36 is needed. I also rise and lower my lights. Sometimes I need a little stretch so I take them up as much as I can for a few days then drop them down. Helps open them up for light without trimming. But makes stocks weak so don't do it very often.

First thing I thought of for a P K def. I'm a little gunshy to think out of the box right now. I feel as if I have been creating one toxic soup after another. I'm changing out res in a few...5-8-16(hellraizer suggested) and 10ml-gal botanicare cal/mag. I'll let that run for a week and if nothing changes i'm dumping the gh for "the recipe". "never failed" is sounding awful good, but I told the wife I would try 1 more time with what I have before I go drop another couple hun' on a new nute line.

I must say I am overwhelmed by the support here. All I got on other sites was 1 or 2 responses saying "mag def"mag def mag def. I've had those and corrected with no prob so I knew it was more than that. I've noticed since that's pretty much their answer to any "sick plant" problem. Ya'all are my warm blanket, you have given me hope!

Wanted to say thanks for all the support here too, not only do the more experienced botanists contribute but you guys go in depth in your explanations and really help the threads, i frequent this site more and more than i do my other ones for this same reason, nothing but good experiences here so far...as im sure you don't hear it enough....thanks guys...
