Hello all,
I am not a complete newbie, but still learning hydro. I grew Ortega for a year in soil and then switched to hydro in an Ebb and Gro setup. All was perfect with this setup and I am now switching over to White Rhino (Greenhouse) and Pineapple Express (G13). To start I tried to keep everything the same as with the Ortega. With Ortega I kept the PH at about 5.8 and the PPM around 600 for veg and 800-900 for flowering. I am however finding that although the Pineapple Express seems to handle this without trouble, the Rhino is not so accustomed to it.
Since then I have tried with slightly higher and slightly lower PH, all the way down to 5.5 and all the way up to 6.5 but I am still not seeing any results. The problem I am seeing is that the White Rhino has generally stunted growth, and the tips of the leaves end up getting yellow or brown spots on the edges, and they look very wrinkly. This is more obvious in veg, but in flowering I found that the leaves on the Rhino are a pale green and almost yellow throughout the flowering phase. I am growing both strains in the same circulating system, and the Pineapple has not had any problems with just about anything I throw at it, yet the Rhino I cannot seem to satisfy. I am using Humbolt Grow, Micro, and Bloom in both veg and flowering, and I added Humboldt Myco Madness and Honey to the veg a week ago, and honey to the flowering. The only noticeable result of this addition was faster growth in veg, but still the same problems I mentioned. Here are some pictures of the veg plants. Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
