1KW Blue Planet Nutrient 4X4 tent grow!

Leaves have continued to yellow and it seems that the PH of my cubes are way high. The run off was at around 7.8. I flushed with RO'd water and could only manage to get the runoff down to 6.5 after 2 1/2 gallons. I'm going to the hydro store to pick up some Clearex and do another flush tomorrow. I fed them immediately after with a low dose of nutes. Buds are developing nicely, but seem a little small.

can u take a pic with light off to see it,maybe figure it out.

Word RDM, I'll take a pic before the lights come on tonight and post a pic, around 8pst. Leaves are showing signs of different deficiencies now, combined with my runoff having a PH of almost 8, l think finally narrowed it down to nutrient lockout. A bit late, but better late than never. I think the guy I got the clones from didn't soak the cubes in ph'd water. If he did, it wasn't long enough.

as long as itsfixed it should be go ok.I use a ocean pure ro system, water always bottle quality h20..will swing back by.

Flushed with Clearex tonight at full strength. I could only get the runoff down to around 6.8. I flushed with over a gallon and a half per cube, which should've been more than sufficient. I think this round is destined to underachieve. Buds are super frosty, but I doubt they hit 1/2 the weight of what they could've been. It's not over yet, but after almost 7 weeks, my hopes of an elbow are fading fast. Lol. I'll probably try and take them to at least 75 days, if the girls will let me. I'm going to flush every week-every other week up until harvest. The only problem is that these cubes hold a shit ton of fluid... It takes 2 1/2 days to go from full to slightly dry, but still moist. So, I'm going to start "topping off" the cubes every day with just a bit of nutes, until flushing again next week.

Any ideas on how to get my runoff PH down would appreciated. : ) I've searched and searched and can't find shit to counter balance the ph in a cube after they're transplanted. Thanks in advance!

I finally spoke with the guy who gave me the clones and didn't fucking soak the cubes properly!! He ran ph adjusted water over the cubes a couple times and called it a day. Not frustrating at all.

gd luck on them bud.jus do the best yu can with wat yu have.

Thanks RDM, I'm disappointed, but I'm not too down on it. I have another batch of rooted clones sitting in dirt weighting in line. This grow isn't over yet, not by a long shot. I'm still going to harvest some really dank bud, just not as much as I hoped for. This is just for personal use plus whatever I give out.

*waiting... I'm not embarrassed.

not a prob. I deal with issues daily,lol,I have 2 nyc diesels getting rootbound by the spots on the leaves and I'm 2 weex into flower.i may repot to my aeration pots , i see something been niibbling on some veg,lol,its always something bro.

RDM, do you have any experience with or know someone who's dealt with cubes that weren't pre soaked? Any help would be appreciated!

Leaves are falling like it's autumn. Lol. Buds are fattening up and stink like hell, but I'm not certain how long they'll continue to grow and mature under their current conditions. I will say this though, I'm super impressed with BPN's nutes. With all the abuse I've given my girls, the buds are super dense and crystally as hell.

I don't think cubes have anything to do with it,its something else being this far in the game.

What else could be causing the ph to be so high?

what is yure water source?i use a ocean pure 3 way ro system,,i haven't ph my water since I bot it.

I use a hydro logic ro system and only have to ph down with 3-4 drops of AN's ph down per 5 gallons to get to 5.8.

I use hydro logic replaceable filters,good choise..are u makin the mix strong? are other strains doin the same thing.

I was slowly ramping up till I hit 1400 ppm's and that's about when the fan leaves started to show signs of an imbalance of sorts. Since then I've been keeping them around 1000 or so in different combinations in an attempt to right the ship. I picked up some Heavy 16 Finish(0-0-1) to hopefully assist with the nutrient intake... 99% water and hopefully 1% microbial magic.

Oh yeah, I'm just running one strain, Chemdawg... Not Certain of the exact genetics though.

ok,just tough it on out ,yu should be ok.

Thanks brotha! I just did a light foliar application with the heavy 16(1/8tsp to 1/4 gallon mighty wash... It was time to give them their weekly anti spider mite spray down anyways, so I emailed Heavy 16 asking if the 2 products would work together and someone responded in less than a minute asking me to call him on his cell phone to go over exactly what my intentions were and he concluded that there wouldn't be any issues. Now that's good fucking customer service!) 3 hours before the lights go on. I'm going to introduce it to my feeding schedule tonight. Hopefully this product provides the crutch that they sorely need. I took a couple pics with the lights off using a flash, but I'm using an iPhone 4S camera and it wouldn't focus. They were useless, just a blur of green with different gradients of yellow. Lol. I appreciate the input Raiderman!
