A few words of advise !! Scrap the nft and go get sum cocco why because its easier than soil more forgiving the dwc nft ect ect do it and your half way there to growin some nice simple plants and yes i do mean simple its the best medium out there imo and it amazes me why u tried those nft trays anyway lollipoppin fimmin toppin lst supercroppin sog scrog and the rest of the techniques will become second nature once you know how to grow these simple plants properly with no hick ups along the way

I'm going the opposite way as soon as i build another groom i'm switching to NFT been in coco 6 years now time for a change, the benefits are explosive growth, huge yield finish quicker drawbacks are it can go wrong very fast

what kind of nft system are you looking at m8 .. i agree with the explosive growth, not so sure about problems or going wrong fast, i have never had any problems with NFT itself
i have read about nft being susceptible to root zone infections, i have not seen this happen yet

peace

I've got 2 x GT205's and a 905 but only used 1 of them so far and ended up fire fighting root rot my fault but i know where i went wrong so next time should be better

[mrt1980]

i got 1 blue cheese in soil and the rest in air pots and coco so i can see the difference. i doing white widow too and i had 1 and a half oz per plant first time i grew that. im aiming for 2 oz per plant so any more will be a bonus

can anyone tell me if this is nute burn? thats the blue cheese and the bottom ones the white widow but thats looking ok for my growing skills anyway lol

 

[IC3M4L3]

yeh thats nute burn mate flush em out and start nutes again 1/4 strength and work up

first of all i was thinking mag def or something cos when ive had nute burn before it was always at the tips where as this is inbetween the veins. but now that the plant is sagging down i think it might be burn

 

[IC3M4L3]

yeh mate i deffo think its burn u can see it flaking but im not expert on nute burns and defficiancys as i dont get them problems as i always start low amounts and work up as ive a perpencity for killing em lol

they've been like that for over 2 weeks when i was giving them half strength nutes. the leaves where curling up so i upped the dose. im switching them to 12/12 tomorrow and giving them a flush so hopfully they'll pick up. i was going to re-pot them today but my new tent hasnt been delivered, i had everything else that they sent but not the tent. i emailed them and they said its been held up at the delivery depot so i should have it by 12 tomorrow

someone told me curling up means they want more and curling down is too much. it always worked for me till now lol

 

[cheddar1985]

Its not nute burn so flushin it will only cause u more aggro than good ive neva had leaf in my garden like that but its either calcium deficency on a zinc deficency from over watering them the latter is my guess so dont over do waterin is a good start

i was thinking a deficency cos ive read coco might not leave the plant get enough calcium or magnesium but i dont think its over watering cos i lift the pots to see if they need it and wait till its really light. im going to order some dolomite lime and epsom salts in the next few days to see if that helps.
cheers for the input lads
