That's exactly what it is. (General Hydroponics CocoTek)something is wrong with everything.
tell us more;
what are you growing in? coco/perlite me thinks
what are nutes? waht is water? what is ppm/ec? additives?
for the most part, I keep my grow room door shut. but there's been a few occasions that I've accidentally left it open and my cats went it there. I dunno if he sprayed or not though but I wouldn't doubt it. He's a hellion..lolWowzers .Cat spray ?
Now i haven't done this in a super super long time, but you should do a line of coke and really think this decision through!!!ok, so from what I gather, I need a CMH and a Cool tube reflector and around 600 watts for my space.
So would this fit all of that? https://www.amazon.com/Replace-4X300W-2X600W-1-2X1000W-Enclosed/dp/B06XTCGZ6P/
if so, which would be the better option? Enclosed or wide?
Toxic salts buildup bad and your best plant is starting to go that way too. Even a serious flush isn't going to fix it but if still vegging new growth could start coming in healthy.
We all need more info about feed etc to help save these girls.
I use syringes to measure out my nutes. Feed stores have them in various sizes and should have heavy gauge long needles too. I got 5, 12 and 60cc. Had blunt needles left over from a printer cartridge refill kit I used to use
With lower light levels you need to feed a lot less as the plants can't get enough energy to use the feed and it builds up in the leaves doing what it's doing now. I can have the same problems feeding fairly lightly because my RH is chronically low and the plants drink a lot more water than they should so it's easy to burn them.
Those fabric pots should be on some sort of rack so they can drain and don't stay all soggy at the bottom where root rot can easily take hold.
I found a great spot to download FREE POT BOOKS. I downloaded a grow bible first and got lots more. Books look great and complete like the real ones I have here. No web site but just a page of links. Just right click on what you want and then "Save Link As" to download so they don't open first as some are 50+ megs. They got lots. Enjoy.
Your PH is way off.Ph should be tested and adjusted after mixing the nutes every time..
actually looking on Amazon right now for a good syringe.Maybe but id rather see him buy a measuring syringe and work in some schedule before even bothring with ph - maybe his ph was fine and plenty manage coco with no ph so it is debatable at least.
Water quality and a water ppm chart from his company would be a good start to the ph game if you want to play that right![]()
As far as Nute schedule, I normally feed them twice a week. 3 Tsp Flora Micro and 3 Tsp Flora Grow. on the label it says 3 Tsp for "aggressive growth".
I fill up two old 1 gallon milk jugs with water, then I add the nutes to it. I then pour that into a 2 gallon plant water pale and pour it on each plants coco coir.
Going over this makes me wonder.. I sometimes recklessly pour the mixture onto each plant and many times the leaves get poured on. I wonder if that could cause some of the issue like I have or if doing something like that wouldn't affect the plant like that.
so that means, that every time I water/feed I'm giving the plants pretty much acidic water?
It looks to me like you've been overfeeding them for a while and now it's biting your ass. Those burnt leaves aren't from slopping nutes on them. That's coming from within.
Aggressive growth is when they are growing a inch a day or even faster. For that they need lots of light and fresh air to replenish the CO2 that plants need to grow aggressively. If you aren't venting that space they are likely starved for CO2 and now with little light they just can't grow to their potential. A good environment is key to a good harvest.
That depends on your tap water. If it's hard with high alkalinity the pH could still be too high but you'll never know unless you test for it. I use AN pH Perfect nutes with RO or distilled water only so don't even think about testing pH tho I have a really decent pH pen standing by soaking in storage solution. It's at least 6 years old and worked fine when I used it last a couple months ago.
NOW, after my original light died and I have the crappy little led light in there, humidity is up to 75%. leads me to believe that the other light just sucked out all the humidity.
3 Tsp Flora Micro and 3 Tsp Flora Grow.
yeah per gallon. I figured t hat if I put 3 Tsp for the "aggressive grow" the label said that I would get some big big growth.is that per gallon? that's like 30mL total if so. that's way too much.
and why no bloom formula?
As far as Florabloom, I thought you weren't suppose to use it (at all) until Flowering.
I knew that Co2 helps plants but didn't know I could easily add it by burning a candle. How often would you say I should do that in order to benefit? Every day?
