the coco that i do have is 100% coco. i was talked into it but found out coco in recirculation systems is a no no (yes i use aqua flakes and nug is so bomb as long as i am flushing), which is why i am flushing weekly until coco is phased out. added cal mag to nutes today and watered the soil that was dry, we'll see how that goes. cal def would explain my cupped, thin, and twisted new shoots. mag def would explain lower leafs turning yellow and dying out. i think jcdws602 is right, need cal mag for my r/o water. i put cal mag into my veg rez (hydroton) so ill post those results by tomorrow. i am gonna put it into my baby rez too (with new nute change). i only used 1.5ml/gal for hydro which brought ppm of plain water up to 150, sound right? i used 3ml/gal in my soil. i am worried about putting it into my flower nutes though as it contains nitrogen. any other cal mag supplements without nitrogen that i can use while flowering to retain that healthy plant? and i use shooting powder last 3 weeks of flower only. one more thing, do u guys water your soil with nutes every watering or every other watering or what? thanks a million bro's.
ok whats up. I would like to hear from someone experienced here so....I am vegging in hydroton, flowering in coco (at the moment), and moms in soil, while babies are aero. from the pics you can see what is happening to all plants in every medium (not just some). I use R/O water (brand new filters), and house and garden nutes: All measurements are per gallon of water: aqua flakes-3.5 to 6ml (depending on what phase), roots xl-around 0.7ml, algen xtract-around 0.7ml, ||flower|| multi zen-2.3ml, bud xl- 2.3ml, top booster 3.9, shooting powder-little less than 1 pack per 25 gallons. and drip clean with every nute change-0.25ml/gal. should i run drip clean with r/o water? im thinking its lockout all the time (as when i flush they snap out and explode). This strength has only been tested for a few days now (i was running higher strength) but i can tell that its not getting better, although they have gotten much taller. just that leaf growth being so nasty is why im thinking its lockout. but in the pics the plants are in hydroton, how can they have salt buildup when there is nothing really to stick to? are my nute levels good? as i said all mediums are doing it, like something is wrong with my nute lineup (lacking certain nutes). But house and garden should have everything i need in it. i would appreciate you guys finding me a solution. thanks a bunch!
