anyone got any ideas?

What feeding regime are you using?

what medium?

what lighting?

what are your environmental variables?


I can't figure out whats going on here. Purple stems, leaf edges are pointing up, the plants just don't look right. Completely stunted. Zero growth in the last week. I'm not doing anything I haven't done in the last 5 cycles, I don't understand.
 
Humidity is a little low around 40, heats around 78, happy frog soil mix, terp tea feedings, runoff p.h. was around 5 going in at 6.5 so I added some Olympus up to a microbe and mychrohize feed. It didn't do much yet. Lights are spider farmers, and Mars hydrostatic. Around 500 each.

Also new growth is twisted and contorted.
Twisting of leaves I usually attribute to a pH issue.

unfortunately testing runoff pH in soil is never going to give you an accurate analysis of what’s going on in the root zone.

to me your plant looks hungry!

But then I’m a soiless guy and use synthetic nutrients.

but this hunger could be from pH being out of whack causing uptake issues.

Did you mix anything like dolomite lime into your soil for some pH buffering etc?
 
No, runoff was really low, so I added the Olympus up yesterday. Another grower on here had me doubting a p.h. problem but the calcium def I found pretty much sums it up. I think all that's left is to wait a day or two to see if it worked. I'll post an update, I appreciate ya brother, I gotta quit second guessing myself lol.

The one thing I do know about soil is that “fixes” are not instant like they are with my method of growing lol.

good luck brother and if you need me again just tag me.

here’s a pic of my area right now doing what I do :bigjoint:

100% coco
Synthetic A/B
Epsom salts
Calmag
MKP
pH down

2 plants scrog.

I'll prolly take you up on that bud. I've grown a auto in dwc with great results. I just moved and my new tap water is sitting at 7.8 p.h. I think I added too much down trying to correct it. Imma give it 2_3 days then scrap it if no improvement.

With soil more often than not pH’ing your solution ends up being worse lol.

if after nutes it’s around 7 don’t adjust.
