Ok...this is bag seed of something supposedly "Amazing" that I got from my buddy that I started in March in Pro-mix soilless mix. These plants are into their 5th week of flowering. My room is 3.5 x 6.5 x 9 ft ceiling. I am using a 600w hps lamp. which is almost to the ceiling at this point because my other 2 ladies are really stretching for it. The lamp is being air cooled. The temp is usually betweeen 75 - 80 with an occasional spike of 85 lately with the hot days we're having here. Humidity is usually right between 47 - 55. Goes up around 60-65 after watering. I have an air conditioner helping to control the climate. These 2 plants were looking the best during the first 2 weeks of flowering...nice and bushy...with lots of triches. I had them located directly under the light for a while but now I have relocated them to the perimeter. Unfortunately, when I started flowering I was using the ionic bloom nutes 3-2-6 (3 tsp per gal) and the Ionic PK boost 0-5-6 (3/4 tsp) per gal EVERY SINGLE TIME I WATERED
Then I read the instructions and reduced it to nutes every other watering and boost once per week. I also began adding Molasses 2 weeks ago. I added 1 tbsp to 2 cups of hot water then added 1/2 cup of the water mixture to1 gallon of my nutrient mix. I was watering about every 3 days but now I am trying to let things dry out a little more now than previously.
The plants in question are much smaller than the other 2...basically look stunted in growth. The new leaves around the flowers are dark green and slightly twisted looking. The pistils are also darker. Some of the leaf stems are also dark. At first I noticed the leaf tips getting brown and dried up and some leaves getting that brown splotchy vein so about 10 days ago I flushed all the plants completely with no less than 9 gallons of 6.0 ph'd water each.They just look like they are drying up basically yet the soil is definitely moist. It is odd because I have used the same nutes and watering schedule. light, heat and humidity for 4 plants...2 are great and 2 are not so great. I am constantly monitoring these plants and have never seen any signs of pests.
I was thinking of trying to lower the ph to 5.5 and add only the PK boost the next few waterings... Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
