Ok so I have 3 plants. The 4th died and I thought I was left with 3 tang dream. Now I think 1 is a free seed called alien dawg. I think this because in my RDWC it's the only 1 having issues. Question is can I do a foliar spray to try and correct just the one..thanks in advance
DWC plant isssue.
- Thread starter Magron
- Start date
Ok the other strain is tang dream. I'm beginning week 4 of flower. Ppm about 500 using AN 3 part ph perfect (jungle juice) ph between 5.8 and 6.1. Temps air 70- 80 water 66-72 rh -51- 100. I'm always light on ppm so it should be closer to 900-1100 per the bottle instruction. I will post another kind of leaf issue and the 3 plants. Thanks for any help in advance.

Personally I think 500 is starving them and I expect you'll start to run into problems and hopefully you plan to increase the strength soon, but they look fine for the most part. The one plant may be a hungry strain that requires higher ppm. In DWC I used to run 1200 all day long with no problems from clones to finished plants so I would call your 900 very safe.
With hydro, 500ppm is plenty. When all the parameters are in line (his are) one can even flower at 500, although 600-800 is better after mid-flower, up until the last 2 weeks, then start backing down, which is a form of flushing
Ok fellas thanks for the words of wisdom .I appreciate all responses. The led lights (blurple)lights are bad for the eyes and should ALWAYS wear eye protection in the grow room. They are actually red and blue with some UV . Full spectrum and def not the problem . They may not be as good as hps but I'm pulling less than 20 watts from the wall and have no heat issues so keeping cost down and getting good results. Now to the ppm concern. I have brought the ppm up to 700 and the problem looks worse to me. I dont know if its directly related or just progressing but I have never had a grow problem that i couldnt figure out. But I ts respect the knowledge here and will go up to 900 and see how it goes. The first 2 plants are still kicking ass
Lol how much have you used blurple lights I have a couple of them and some cob lights obviously the blurples arnt the best but it isn't bad for the plants cuz then the all the plants I've grown under them the last year would of died and they all have been healthy
And blurples are actually decent during veg but you obviously don't get as good of a yield as you would with a hps or a cob set up
HPS is old tech. . In the early days of leds red and blue were the only spectrums available, and they were/are still being sold to ignorant cannabis growers as the greatest thing since sliced bread. .For at least 5 years, red and blue diodes are used in small quantities to enhance white leds. It has also been proven that red/blue lights are very harmful to ones eyes,
Yes I agree so let take it ba CV k a step and correct myself lol...I meant 20 amps closer to about 1800 watts
The led lights are not much the ones that look purple do have white spectrum but only 450 watts. But 10 watt diodes.The inside lights are 600 watts each and are 3 watt diodes. All very low cost Amazon lights but again I will say super low energy use , low cost lights that easily pay for themselves in one grow. The results are pretty damn good for a personal grow . All this considered I'm doing pretty good but my issue continues.
