Plant is about 17 days. DWC, feeding advanced n. ph perfect. (seedling strength currently). 300w led, 18 inches above plant. Temps around 75 on plant, 73 in dwc. Using hydroguard.Give us info, iron might be fine and might be way too much N. We are shooting in the dArk
Yeah, I understand. The ph perfect line is confusing, there is a lot of different ideas and opinions about it. I've been back and forth with others who say never touch the ph, it destabilizes the mix, and others who insist you must still adjust ph. Obviously though, it's not quite working the way it is, so I guess I'll adjust the ph and see how that works. I'm going to take it to 5.2 and let it rise to 6.5. I'll be able to add less if I let the swing go lower and higher.pH perfect? Screw that!
Hydro pH should be kept in the 5.5 to 6.2 range......It should rise by normal activity in the buckets.
I found that adjusting to 5.7 and allowing it to rise to no more then 6.2.....Gave me the best results for my environment/nutrient line used.
Ph of 6.5 in DWC is too high and your loosing N uptake - it shows in your pics...
Yeah heavy ph swings. When i was trying to adjust them before, it would rise very quickly. Roots look greatSo your DWC are you getting ph swings? What's your roots look like?
I agree with almost everything here, however with how dark his leaves are I'm not certain it's a N problem.pH perfect? Screw that!

Check out this pic, he isn't effecting N uptake at 6.5pH perfect? Screw that!

Yup, my mistake. N restriction by low pH.Check out this pic, he isn't effecting N uptake at 6.5
I make tons of mistakes I'm a noob! Glad we can work on the problem and not attack each otherYup, my mistake. N restriction by low pH.
Up swing in hydro is normal.Reason why I say you need ppm is a ph swing up can be it simply using all the nutrient or some type of root problem.
No prob. your good!I make tons of mistakes I'm a noob! Glad we can work on the problem and not attack each other
It really doesn't show an early developing pH problem - unless it was low. He states 6.5 is his value....Here's my ultimate shot in the dark, it's most likely ph problems, she's small and won't need much nutrient. If your not checking and maintaining ph it's most likely revolving around that.
NO DON'T! if you lower it to 5.2 you will start to have pH problems - real ones! It'll start a cascade of lockouts and fry the plant...Yeah, I understand.

I'm only going to be adding maybe 2.5 gallons to the 5 gallon buckets, as the roots are well established and nearly touching the bottom of the bucket. Hopefully I can stabilize the ph enough with that small amount of water...the ph perfect seems to artificially raise the ph rather quickly.
Another thing people were saying was that you never truly get an accurate reading when using ph perfect, another reason not to touch it. But it's obviously not working quite right. I mean...it's less than 3 weeks and the plant is already showing signs of deficiency.
