Ok, I have had a few issues as I am sure from the one pic you can see... that is old damage with nuting too young and PH, which has beed sorted out. I did have some nice green growth coming in from after the 3-4th node on.
I had thought it was light bleach so have the flourescents at 9", but I did so much at the same time, that it's hard to pinpoint my mistakes. I changed the lights out from LED's to 6X 32 watt flourescents, which made the plants really happy.. and introduced nutes at about a month.. which they really liked too. But when I upped to 1/2 strength they started turning like this. I flushed, and went back to 1/4 strength nutes, and still no change.
So there you have some background..
Now, after more research it does look like mag dif. So I started misting the leaves with 1/4 tbls. Epsom Salt to 1 liter of ph'ed water. I started this yesterday, but how often should I be misting them? Like once a day? 3-4? just hammer them with it until they look better? I couldn't find any information on how often to treat.
My second thought is, Is it possibly a N dif? Should I be upping my nutes to 1/2 strength at a month and a half or just let them fix themselves for now?
It's just not getting any better.. not much worse, but a little, which makes me wonder if my plants are starving?
I have them set to water 3X a day for 15 min. My PPm is 500-600 right now, and my ph is checked after every watering.. as I had some major ph problems and I am trying to ensure the fluctuation is kept in check. I always drop to 5.8 before it's watered, and after every feeding it's up to 6.3-6.4. I know that I have read that the plant takes in different nutes at different times and this can cause your ph to go up or down.. my question on that is - that if it's consistantly changing by the same amount.. which nutes should I increase to keep it more stable?
I am not sure if I've ever read which nutes can cause your ph to go up or down.. if anyone knows where I can read up on that I'd appreciate that too.
Thanks, I hope I have given enough background information on what's happened to be able to get some help.
