Hey everyone,
I have been using SensiGrow and Bloom line on my plants. I am new to growing 4th grow ever.
I switched at the 3rd week of Bloom because i couldnt find SensiBloom had hoped Connoisseur would be better.
I have had nothing but issues since week 3 when adding Big Bud to the 4ml per L Connoisseur. I was feeding at 4ml per L Sensi around 1250 to 13000ppm so did same with Conno and it was mixing at 1600PPM 4ml perL plus 2ml perL Big Bud additive.
After noticing yellow tips, I did a flush under advise from grow support 8L of RO water ph at 6.3 and than fed at reduce 2ml per L.
I still noticed that the yellow, brown tips curling increased so i cut back feed and did a water this evening. See below for numbers
Previous feed was Tuesday March 23rd at 4ml per L
Runoff Tues March 23rd
1800ppm, 6.2 ph
1500ppm 6.1ph
1400ppm 6.1ph
1440ppm 6.1ph
1630ppm 6.1ph
Last feed was at Friday, March 26th at 2ml per L 1380PPM and 5.8 PH.
Runoff:
2840ppm, 6.2ph
4150ppm, 6.2ph
3930ppm, 6.1ph
2250ppm, 6.2ph
3884ppm, 6.3ph
This evening i just plained water 6.3PH and 20ppm as its RO till runoff, 8L each
2170 6.2ph
2660 6.1ph
1280 6.3ph
1300 6.2ph
1010 6.5ph
Meters are Bluelabs on 0.7ppm scale and Bluelabs Ph pen. Both have been calibrated prior to using and are calibrated monthly.
I also use another meter to check my meters lol.
Last feed I did at 1.5ml per L a&b 2ml all additives sensizym, rhino skin, b52, bud candy, bud factor x, bug bud, 1000ppm 5.8ph in RO water 8ppm 6.2ph on Wednesday
2L drainage
Runoff:
2100 6.1ph
1520 6.2ph
1380 6.3ph
1480 6.4ph
Medium: PromixHP with 20% perlite in 5 gallon geopots, I water 8-9L every 2/3/4 days.with atleast 2L runoff each pot.
5th week of Bloom starting 6th tomorrow.
Blue berry Canuk seeds, Og Kush Humboldt Seeds and Sour Diesel BlimBurn are the strains.
The girls were looking great with crazy high PPMs over 2500 so i flushed as advised from grow support because of yellow tips. I am now thinking maybe was a calmag defiency and by flushing with RO water and plain watering with RO water made it even more deficient.
AN grow support said switch back to Sensi as some crops dont like the Connoisseur and it doesnt work well as its alcohol based and not to follow ppm with Connoisseur as they put stuff in it which affects PPMs go by what plant is telling me which is hard as I am a rookie.
Any help or guidance with RO water and Connoisseur as its my first grow with both and I havent added any extra calmag. I am thinking maybe I was deficient in calmag yellow tips, then turning brown and curling up, some curl down now that I looking back and tried reducing feed which seemed to cause more issues so perhaps was not nute burn but i am not sure tbh whats wrong
Maybe a mix of all of the above.
Thank you in advanced for any help.
