I am new to growing (this is my first real time, two small grows before) and running into the beginning of some issues. I am hoping someone here with more experience might be able to help me out!
I have the following medical grow set up:
5.5 - 6.5 ph (not exact, using chemicals to test right now, no meter)
15 gal reservoir, Distilled water (adjusted)
Ebb & flow system, 30 min 4x day
GH Flora Series Nutrients, Mild Growth phase
T12 4 ft. fluorescent, cool white and warm, 4 bulbs about 4 inches from plants
2-3 week old clones, four in one tray
These clones were given to me with unknown issues. I am hoping to take care of issues as they come up, so here are the pictures of the problems so far:
#1 Inherit 1 front
#2 Inherit 1 back
#3 Inherit 2
#4 Inherit 3
#5 Leaf residue 1
#6 Leaf residue 2
#7 Hydroton residue
#8 Yellowing leaf
#9 Whole plant (for fun!)
Questions:
1. I think that most of the inherited issues with the plants, which you can see because those leaves are clipped, are nothing to worry about. A little concerned about #4, the dark green vein. It is only on two leaves of this one plant, and it does not seem to be spreading though.
2. Salt residue? I think I may have a salt residue which you can see in #5 thru #7. It is even on my hydroton which I cleaned so many times before using I almost lost my mind (hot water, bleach diluted water, tubs more of hot water). If it is salt, do I add CalMag+? How much would you recommend?
3. Nutrient burn? I think I may have the start of a nutrient burn. I already diluted with 1 gallon of water yesterday, but it still got worse today. You can see this in pic #8 and on the tip of one of the fingers in #4. Do I need to dilute/flush? Will flushing alone fix this, or must I also dilute the nutrients for awhile?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! I am hoping to learn as much as I can so that I don't waste the massive amount of money I spent on my system!
