Hey nor cal, From my experience in top feed dwc, the top feed is really only effective on very young plants that haven’t established a larger root zone. I always keep roots submerged in the water solution as the bubbler will provide plenty of oxygen to the root zone. Not saying you shouldn’t use...

Totally agree Ganga gurl! I dry this way and rotate buds as they dry to minimise annoying flat spots haha. It’s not ideal, as buds are handled a lot more. Maybe it’s a bit pedantic but I personally try to leave a little stalk on the end of each bud and handle the stalk rather than the bud itself...

I’m under the assumption it gives better bag appeal when dry trimming!? As the sugar leaves form around the bud better when hung upside down. Wether it’s on a drying rack or hanging wouldn’t change drying time imo. If the same amount of branch is left on when In drying rack.

Sounds good man! Yea sounds like mag def. as other deficiencies can show lightening in between veins also. but can affect say tops of plant. Light burn can do the same. So I’d say possible mag lock out or lack of. Hopefully those changes will stop the mag deficiency spreading any further!? 8-)...

As long as your learning, you will only get better! Congrats man. I take my hat off to you for persevering :cool:

Maybe someone else can answer this better than me, but if memory serves me right, the plants will reject straight silica to a degree. That’s why it’s in the form of potassium silica, to basically trick the plant into thinking it’s potassium.... Maybe your giving too much potassium silica? The...

Imagine having that!! :lol:

Makes sense if tis is the case Myke!!

That’s a good chart jypsy Dog!!

I just read GBAUTOs advice and it’s solid. I’d bring your ph down to 5.5 (not 5.7) And the brown tips that curl up are symptoms of potassium deficiency. Don’t quote me on this, but I’m Pretty sure it can cause lightening between veins much like a magnesium deficiency!?

Yea, letting the ph drift within a certain targeted range is better for maximum absorption of all your macro and micros. Constantly adjusting ph is not ideal. That’s good man, thought you may of had very low lights off temps from the purple stems. Minimising the uptake of potassium. Have you...

Yea, throw a little epsom salt in Logan and maybe back your bloom booster back to 1/4 strength? Cal/mag at 1/4 strength should be ok imo. Your flowering base nutes may be fairly high in pk as it is?? Bit hard to see on the pics, but is the mag deficiency at the very top of the plant or lower and...

No worries man. Not sure about ebb as I’ve never tried it. Could your root temps be high in between flood cycles? Also do you oxygenate the res for your ebb? I’m not sure if this is a done thing with ebb? But I would imagine it would have nothing but benefits. Itl keep the solution from...

Couldn’t find the chart, but here’s an example Logan.

I’m feeling your pain Logan! Hopefully the buds don’t get too airy also!? Yes you can add a little epsom salt to the res. I’ve only done it once before on a presidential kush. It looked like it had a sulphur deficiency (Epson salt will treat magnesium and sulphur deficiency very well) it didn’t...

Hey Nor cal, My guess is you have a bit of lockout going on there!? Seems you have a lot of cal/mag (nearly 1/3 of your nute strength) Plus the cal/mag already in your base nutes..... Too much calcium will lock out magnesium. The same with too much potassium (usually seen in early to mid flower...

Yep, root rot! Keep res temp in check, provide a lot of aeration at root zone and keep light away from roots. :cool:

I didn’t say I use it, I said “I’ve experienced it USING Ph perfect” It’s a great product depending on your circumstance or life commitments. It was great when I was working away for a week at a time using rdwc for example. I could not rely on the other person in my house to monitor my ph while...

I know how it works, and yes it does work! Even on tap water of 8.5 ph! The point I was making is that nothing was different in regards to nutrients, nutrient strength, ph (or chelated nutrients) environment etc. yet one strain showed a calcium and a magnesium deficiency where as the other...

Funny, I’ve experienced this using ph perfect. Same ph for both plants..... Added additional cal/mag supplement to the one that showed a calcium AND magnesium deficiency and no longer had an ongoing issue with these deficiencies! I did not adjust ph!
