So, my plants are almost 5 weeks old. I started off with a half strength nutrient solution, I use Fox Farm's Grow Big nute solution (picture included). My lil' girls took off like wild fire. At two weeks I changed my reservoir, and when I added the nutes at a 3/4 strength, but I forgot to shake the solution before adding it to the water (you know to mix up the various ingredients). over the next week my plants did not grow at all. They also started developing a few brown spots on the leaves and a few actually started turning yellow. I realized that I had fucked up the nutes about a full week after I changed out my reservoir, so I imediately changed out my solution for a full strength mix this past Sunday. However only 4 of my 9 plants have improved in their condition and the other 5 have seemed to worsen. I am at a loss, please help. Below are the full specs of my operation.
I am growing 3 different strains:
3 Shiva Shanti (I heard that even a retard can grow these hydroponically so I figured what the hell
3 White Widow
and 3 California Orange
all 9 plants are in Rockwool cubes with a drip system
the reservoir stays at a constant 70 degrees
room temp is at about 78 - 81 during daytime and 70 - 75 night time
I have 3 4foot flourescent lights running on 18 hours and off 6
I have a fan blowing on the girls all 18 hours of the "day"
my nute solution is curently at 860 ppm
and for the past week I have been foilair feeding them with a 250ppm solution to try and fix the fucked up Nutes of last week(although I now think I may be over feeding them)
This is my grow box!
This is Shiva shanti #1 also my best looking plant
This is Shiva Shanti #2
Shiva Shanti #3
White widow #1 the only decent looking WW that I have atm, I really want to save this one
WW #2 this one and WW #3 have been doing very poorly from the start. Should I ditch them? ... or could they still make decent plants?
WW #3
California Orange #1
CO #2
CO #3
and these are my nutes
Any help would be appreciated, I am only confusing myself by reading around on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
