After diluting and pHing the reservoir it is 1022ppm (2.05 EC) and pH 5.35. This bucket of solution will be used to replace the pineapple reservoir and then another bucket of similar solution will be used to replace the blueberry reservoir. I just changed it, but I figure another change can't hurt since it just had the root rot and I also want to lighten its nutrient load and get it some gravity and cal mag.

Leave me some comments or tips I could really use them!

Pulled the pineapple girl's roots out of the reservoir and found more root rot kind of stinky, beneath the diffuser. I should have put the new one in a week ago haha! Oh well I am soaking the pineapple roots in H2O2 reservoir right now (3.5-4 gal water, free pour 3% ~2-3 fl. oz. of it) and hopefully that will work. It is aerated and I will leave it in there for about a half hour before putting it into the 1025ppm solution (5.3 pH)

The ppm of the pineapples root-rot solution was 1400 and smells like nasty celery X.X

So I turned lights on an hour early to finish working on the girls...

I soaked each one in aerated hydrogen peroxide reservoir for about a half hour, maybe a little less, then placed them into freshly washed and mixed reservoirs of lower ppms. The pineapple is sitting in a 1024ppm pH 5.3 solution. The Blueberry is sitting in a 975ppm or so pH 5.6 solution.

Pineapple is still looking really great, even though it was having some root rot (which should now be gone). Resilient strain! And incredibly resinous right now.

Pineapple express is reportedly a 45-55 day strain and its at about 30-35 right now so its almost done! Woohoo I'm going to let it go another 2 or 3 weeks and probably harvest it right around christmas time.,,, sweet!

blueberry is looking better and budding better too. I figure it will take an extra 2 weeks because of this ordeal.

pretty sure its potassium deficiency, or too low of potassium in the ratio... well I guess I could give it some veg nutes since floranova is 7-4-10 veg and 4-8-7 flower...

koolbloom is 0-10-10 so that wouldn't help.

"Phosphorus is absorbed best in Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 4.0- 5.8"

so that would explain my weak stems the pH definitely was climbing for extended periods of time. It is stabilized at this point.

So I am incredibly raging hopping mad about my blueberry plant!!!! evil:


because I was a moron and I tried to supercrop it during FLOWER which is STUPID and I didn't realize you have to supercrop WEEKS before you flower. Then, ON TOP OF the stupid failed supercropping (1 or 2 branches) the plant was so tall when I changed the res it hit the cieling. Well, the branches were extra brittle from K deficiency due to high pH and 4-5 more of them snapped! I have 4 branches that are not bent and the majority of them are falling over and more likely than not will have a LONG WAYS to healing, esp. with the roots issues I'm having! Spots I fimmed on the blueberry were making many colas, but unfortunately the branches were bent and now there is a dark brown on the branch that does not look like it will restrengthen anytime soon... Seeing as the plant has 3-4 weeks I don't know what to do! I kind of want to leave the branches in hopes something will happen but to be totally realistic pretty sure they are screwed... I want to believe that removing them will give me a better yield on the remaining branches, which it probably will, but it won't make up for the majority of the plant not being able to finish properly! F#$@*($^@&*(!%($!^)&*%$@!*&$^&*$^@#*&%($*#!*^)(#*$@*(^*$&@

lookin good my dude! u wait till christmas u might have to hang lights off the buds theyll be so big!lol sorry to hear about the blueberry though i mad the same mistake wit my blue cheese!

Why are you dropping your Ph so low? To compensate for it always rising? 5.8-6.2 is ideal in hydro from everything I've heard. And anything below 5.5 will cause nute problems. Not trying to criticize, just wondering why u went this route.

Yes you should shoot for 5.9
5.3-5.6 is too low

good to know. not entirely sure why it probably wasn't a very good idea, but yeah it has typically been rising with floranova in dwc.... doesn't really work out that well will fix that real soon.

partial harvest

and back to flowering
