It's been one thing after another..we just can't seem to get it right.....
Our setup....
Small 3x3x5 tent with 400w hps and carbon scrubber.
DWC
Plant: Unknown Strain 3 months in, tricomes clear/hazzy
Nutes: Ionic Bloom 3-2-6, Liquid Koolbloom 0-10-10, Cutting edge bloom 0-6-5 (2tbs per gallon per nute)

About 3 months into veg they just idk, the fan leaves just burn up each time, they will be fine and then just start dropping left and right, the buds seem fine...but the leaves just burn up, the tricomes are not ready to harvest. the last two harvests all smell like fucking grass even after a month of curing....we just don't get it.... And the weight is just horrible maybe a OZ a plant, not dense. I'm just going nuts here....

Just seeing this thread. What is the ph of the water with nutes? It needs to be right at 5.5 to 5.8 max. Any higher or lower you ll risk nute lock. Also do you have fans moving the ahir constintely in their? How often are you flushing your nutes ? At least once a week.Make sure the water temps in the pots are between 65-75 max with 65 to 70 F the optimal temps.

Well what do you do differently at 3 months veg?
Is that when you begin flower?

Could just be shit genetics. Buy some seeds for next grow do you know exactly what you're workin with.

Ph is 5.8, light times are 12 and 12, I let them suck up almost all the water and nutes and then top them off iwth fresh water and nutes. the long time is because the tricomes won't change to hazy or amber.

Don't use an unknown strain. Find a nice clone only strain and use it. If your leaves are burning up, you're PPM is too high or your grow tent is gassing off.

I don't understand how soil can be messy? It gives dank buds. I can't smoke hydro, it just doesn't seem right to me. Keep it old school, grow in dirt. Not water. If you wanna give up because you can't handle hydro, and soil "make a mess" then your not fit to grow.

I've never done hydro, only smoked it. I'd rather have bomb weed then a huge harvest.

I grow in soil, I buy soil, put the plastic bag down, put my pots on the bag. Scoop soil in the pots. Plant the seed, and give water? Through the bag away when I'm done. No mess, no fuss. After I chop. I through the pot away with soil in it. NO MESS!!

Too many nutes. 2 Tablespoons of EACH of those nutes PER gallon is WAY too much. HOLY SHIT, Man! Why are you using THREE DIFFERENT BLOOM NUTES? From different nutrient companies, nonetheless! NOT TO MENTION, YOU SAID 2 tablespoons each per gallon!!!!!! The RECOMMENDED dosage (which is slightly hot) for the Ionic Bloom is 4 TEASPOONS per gallon...that is equal to One and One Third tablespoon...3 teaspoons = 1 Tablespoon... Next, the recommended dosage for the liquid koolbloon is 1 or 2 TEASPOONS per gallon, not tablespoons...What made you think it was wise to feed your plants three different bloom nutes from 3 different companies?

P.S.-I can't believe no one said anything before me...

You need to keep the water level constant (or nearly so) in hydro. Letting the reservoir almost dry out is a big no-no...

I'd really recommend trying soil. I'm another Super Soil convert, and my plants are healthy with very little effort. A Shop Vac makes quick work of any little soil spills.

I prefer hydro because it's less mess than soil :/
Click to expand...
it might be less mess but hydro is sooo easy to mess up and once you do its normally to quick to repair the damage , soil isnt messy if you get a decent sized tray under the pots and you are carefull ...
my advice would be to do a few grows in soil then once you get somewhere near where you wanna be then try your hand a hydro again mate

Hydro is just as easy as soil, just gotta know what you're doing, and not DRASTICALLY overfeed you plants three different bloom nutes from three different companies.

It looks like you gave her to much nutes, less is better. Did the same mistake first grow, next grow use your nutes at half strength all the way through, never go by the exact amount on the bottle
