    Calcium lockout? *Hydro grow, DWC*

    Hey all! I've just recently (about 2.5 weeks ago) started up my first DWC grow and 2 of the plants are doing great but one of them is showing signs of Ca deficiency. See pictures. Im running tapwater with GH trio (micro, gro and bloom) and pH'ed down to 5.8 (I add micro first, stir and then...

    First grow, plants started to show some issues.

    I've tested the run off water from the plants. It varies between 900-1200ppm (one plant had 900ppm, the other 1050 and then the last 1200ppm) with a PH reading of about 6.15 I've since flushed and tried to get the PH up (flushed with ph 7.2) since that PH in soil is quite low from what i've read.

    DWC-Rin a 3x3 tent (90x90cm)

    Hey all! Perhaps a stupid question but one i've tried to find out myself, is it possible to fit a DWC-R system in a 3x3 tent? I've looked at the system from IWS but it has 4 pots as the least amount and with the controll unit and perhaps (although not needed?) a resevoir...space seems to be...

    First grow, plants started to show some issues.

    I've searched around on the internet and found that phosphurous deficiency fits the bill on the issues i'm seeing on the plant now. I'm guessing most of the leaves that have curled up are beyond saving but, will that damage the plant in a serious way? Since it's flowering and is supposed to use...

    First grow, plants started to show some issues.

    Fair enough! I can't really argue with that logic. Anyways, here are some pictures. Some of the upper most fanleaves have been hit hard.

    First grow, plants started to show some issues.

    Hm alright. But then, if I use 50% of the rec. dosage from the manufacturer, that gives me 20ml (for 10L of water) and that shoult cut me down to about 150-175ppm. But one thing I've never understood is how much to water them? If i soak them, does that give them nuteburn? If I just give them a...

    First grow, plants started to show some issues.

    Yep, my thoughts too! The bottom leaves aren't showing any symptoms from what I can see. I wrote a lot more info in my reply above, a picture of the plant will be posted tomorrow!

    First grow, plants started to show some issues.

    I'll get a pic of the whole plant tomorrow then! Medium: Soil (70%) with 30% perlite mixed in. Lights: PlatinumLED P4XML2 RH: Around 60-70% Temperature: Around 22-23C One thing though, I think I might've done wrong. According to the dosage instructions from biobizz it's about 4ml of bloom per...

    First grow, plants started to show some issues.

    Hey all! First grow and everything has been smooth sailing untill now. The leaves have started to taco (the upper most leaves) and started to show brown spots and drying up (see picture) I water my plants with PH'ed water down to 6.5, I use nutes (biobizz bloom) every other watering (water -...

    3x Autos, first time grower journal.

    Hey all :) time for a new update! Been a few days, not much has happened. On the big plant budding sites have appeared and the pistils have gotten longer, budding sites have also appeared on the other 2 plants but well, i'm not really expecting much from them in regards to yield because of...

    3x Autos, first time grower journal.

    Are they also autos? Wow man, can't imagine that mine will turn out that big. They've all shown pistils and well, they're very short, except the "bigger" one. Is it about time to start switching over to the flower nutes? Or should I hold off?

    Which spectrum and when?

    No, sorry! My bad, more blue than HPS is what I meant to write but well, got lost in translation or something.

    Which spectrum and when?

    Before I switched to LED i was running a 400W MH which is basically only blue light. So then I wouldn't go wrong with just running with the blue spectrum then. Yeah, I was thinking that running them both wouldn't really hurt but we'll, perhaps just running blue is the way to go, during the...

    oh wow, that's a real big difference. And you didn't change anything?

    Which spectrum and when?

    Hey, Probably a simple question for all you seasoned LED growers but how should you utilize the different spectrum during grows? Should one ONLY use blue during the veg. stage or is it okay to flip the red spectrum in there as well? Running 18/6 And when flowering, should you switch off the...

    3x Autos, first time grower journal.

    Wow! Sounds great! :) All of mine has started showing their sex, all of them are female as of right now (can it change or is it final?) but i'm not seeing as much growth. I'm at week 3 (going into 4) and i'm starting to give nutes, im thinking the soil has done it's think (nutes in the soil go...

    3x Autos, first time grower journal.

    Yep! I'm just wondering why it's happenening so soon, or perhaps it's just normal for such a young plant and there's still ways to go before it's mature. It's not even 3 weeks old haha.

    IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE!

    New to LED growing but I already have my fixture in place. Just a common question though but what spectrum am I supposed to run during veg? I'm running 3 autos atm so no need to switch light cycle so...should I just run the red+blue spectrum all the time or should I just run blue and switch to...

    Noticed today when I was checking out my biggest plant that those little white hairs have started to appear on a few nodes. Is this possible due to me running the blue and red spectrum at the same time? The plant isn't very big yet so i'm sure it'll grow taller but I haven't even had them for 3...
