    Rdwc water change questions!

    I have a valved tapping on the piping with a barbed connection. See picture below. I also have a shop vac to get out residuals. I recently raised my sites using cinder blocks and will eventually add drains to the bottom that run back to the control bucket that you see in the picture. I barely...

    Water Levels

    I get that brown with new expanded clay pebbles. No matter how much I clean those fuckers its like clockwork. Every transplant gets that color above the surface. It fades or gets lost in the abundance of new white roots later in the grow. I usually start out with an inch below netcup. I clone...

    Ph Crashing Overnight

    Root damage presents itself different on the leaves and will also make them shrivel up. Your leaves do not look like that. A slick feeling on air stones is normal. All mine feel that way and I have pearly white roots filling up a 27gal tote and spilling out into the next totes. Depending on how...

    Let's discuss flavor in relation to hydroponic growing

    Genetics, drying and curing are the biggest influences. Everything else is background noise. Try using magnesium and sulfur products towards the end of harvest. Drying for at least 10 days in a 65F room. Some terpenes can evaporate at cooler temperatures than you would think. Flushing for too...

    Stumped. K def or burn

    Thanks for sharing. I wanna give DTW Coco a try. $35 for a set of quart containers, eh. Sounds expensive. I paid $100 for 25lbs of Jack's, 25lbs of calcium nitrate, 5lbs of MKP and 8lbs of Epsom. Haven't ran out in over 3 years. Im probably going to mix my own nutrients once these are gone...

    Stumped. K def or burn

    I like cheap nutes since I run 90gal system I change out every 2-3 weeks. I didn't know GH trio were that cheap. Any pictures of your setup? Is it DWC?

    Fuzzy white mold starting.

    Then buy another dehumidifier. Humidity that high will most definitely cause mold. FWIW I didn't see any mold in that picture, but it was also a terrible picture. When I get mold in usually alerted when I see a dead crispy sugar leaf. Upon touching it it immediately pulls out and if I try and...

    Stumped. K def or burn

    I may switch nutrients once I'm done with this Jack's bag. I didn't take any clones so don't have to worry. I'll just finish the grow in a week and chalk this up to finicky phenos which are undesirable to me. I sure did love the way this stacked buds and smelled but finishing way too long...

    Stumped. K def or burn

    I did the individual buckets for like 6 years before I switched and would never go back. So much more easier. pH and EC doesn't swing as much. But it has its drawbacks where 5 of the 6 plants are ready and 1 is still kicking. Surprisingly the one that's still kicking looks worse off, which was...

    Stumped. K def or burn

    Another plant is doing this. This was the first plant that started showing struggles and it was doing this which I took as Mg deficiency but the more I read about K def is that this may be K def also. This plant is much further along. It started showing interveinal chlorosis on the top fan...

    Stumped. K def or burn

    Wouldn't a K tox. cause Ca and Mg deficiencies? I guess a good test would be to flush out the hydroton and give plain water to see if it still progresses. The problem being I still have 2 weeks at least to go and if it was indeed a K def it's going to get a lot worse

    Stumped. K def or burn

    I had added a bit too much MKP, but I changed that res 2 weeks ago and didn't use any. Yet it keeps on progressing.

    Stumped. K def or burn

    I don't know. None of my other plants are doing this.

    Stumped. K def or burn

    Yeah they are ready already, but this one is far behind. I read something about too much Ca and Mg locking out K? I'm using Jack's 321 diluted. Just the weirdest thing. I'll do a res change and feed just the Jack's and forgo the Mg and Ca and see if it stops progressing

    Stumped. K def or burn

    This is what the same strain but different seed looks like right next to it.No major burning. This was 2 weeks ago. And this is what the plant in question looked like 2 weeks ago

    Stumped. K def or burn

    I flipped around July 4th. Buds didn't appear until mid July. I did add a PK boost 3 weeks ago which is what made my feed go all funny. So I did another res change about 2 weeks ago and feed has been slowly falling. Ive been topping up with plain water and some nutrients to keep feed around 0.8EC

    Stumped. K def or burn

    Feed was at 1.1EC and I was burning another plant so I lowered it to 0.8EC (my tap is 0.2EC) Since lowering the plant I was burning stopped and this one just keeps getting worse. It's under LED lights that are 18" away, though it does not appear to be heat stress related since there isn't any...

    Stumped. K def or burn

    I was gone for a few days like 3-4 weeks ago and got a little tip burn since my feed rose. I lowered feed and it seems like it's worsening which makes me believe this isn't nute burn. The only thing that this looks like is K def. but the lower growth is fine and everything I read about K def is...

    Jacks (JR Peters) nutrients

    Yeah I meant Yara. Haifa is the MKP manufacturer. How have you been tty? I have been good. Took a break from growing for a bit when I went out to Colorado for work training for a couple weeks in May. Back at it though.
