Yeah Vira... Could be a little hungry... But if so... why is your EC rising??

Get them onto adult food.. 1.2 EC & monitor.. Ok.. Mix up to 1.0-1.1 EC then it will rise a bit & settle around 1.2... Ok.

UPDATE-

Blue mammoth in DWC DAY 14 (RES CHANGE DAY)

PH -5.55 (will hopfully be 5.7 in morning)

EC -1.05 (525ppm) (will hopfully rise to 1.2 in morning)

In the 14L bucket went...

6ml cal/mg
30ml rhizo
8ml(each)Aqua Veg A+B (+/- 1/2ml) -
1ml sillica ..... put to much ph down in again, so added 1ml-1ltr ,stired & added a bit at a time to get upto ph5.55 :thumbs:

id like to know what this discolour & twist is ... could it be anything other than under/over feeding ??.strange how its similar to the under fed WD's & now the BM in soil as well (not a happy girl)..

Growff's post has me worried as well now lol that makes this sound BAAAAD ! ??. ....the LED's ? , to much cal/mg ?.:nooo:the slime ?
Have added another 90w of LED so now is 344w blazzin in there &i hope she likes this ...she should be loving it & growing good it the next day or two ,& if not i will be very worried !.

temps have been a steady 72o-75o lights on (20/4) but after an hour with the door shut it hits 85o+ with the 2 LED's now .Will worry about that later though !

RH is a steady 50% but down to 40% when temps hit 85o+...... its at 45% & 72oC now with the door open !

calibrated my EC pen before res change...it was 18ppm under the 700 it should have been.... almost 0.05 or a point higher than the 1.3 shes been on most of the week ...im hoping this is what the def i can see starting to happen is & her new res will stop it ????.

Any help with this issue would be great :thankyou:.....Seymoooooooour !!!! pics to follow


White dwarfs & blue mammoth in airpots day 28(i think)

the WD's PHis down to 8 from 9 after the 4.5 flush & a light feed of rhizo & formulex .. but none look happy .... the bm has stunted & in bad shape PH to low at 5.8 .The only growth form the wd's is pistols !!!& looks like i screwed this bm up after all, but hope her sis does better in DWC.... They have been starved & put in not ideal soil(wd's) ect so if i crack some more beans,i need to do things better.... ive read bad things about pete jiffys ??.so may change them for root riot's .I have the right soil thats stable at ph6.5 out the bag ive heard (plagron lightmix) & the bm is in this so it must have been me screwing up the ph in this one lol... so next beans will go into PH 6.5 soil & ill get this right before anything else ... then i need a simple but regular feeding/watering plan with proper soil nutes ect .... so im off shopping & will probably carry this soil section of my journal on with some sweet seeds fastbud or something ???. but any help in getting things right before they go in would be awesome as it hurts so much when these poor babys die on me !(i'll see how these go over the next few days & hope i can grab these nutes soon as well),maybe i will get a henry on the jimmy nails on chop day hey !!!!

thanks duggy mate.lets just say im a bit obsessed lol .its my new hobby & my brain is sponging it up mate .i love it even though im fkn up all the time ... but soil has not had my full & undevided yet !.need to go back to basics with that and consentrate on DWC right now as i think i could maybe,just maybe pull off a grow with the help ive been getting from everyone !.
Im starting to think autos are nearly more greif than there worth...like that high matenance girlfriend !...if they dont start puttin out GOOD soon then i may have to blow em out & consider photos as they can take a lot more sh*t than these b1tchez !!.
thanks for looking in , best of luck 2 u 2

Yeah Vira.. I could be wrong but from your pics I think she's hungry.. Adult food should sort that..

I also could be wrong about this.. But I still don't think that's slime mate.. On your diffusers... It looks like staining from the cal/mg.. Rhizo.. You do give everything a good clean out/down with plain fresh water every res change??... Don't you??

& I personally think you'd be better off with the 1 diffuser in there... I put two in my res there a few weeks back... Roots were getting caught between them & getting damaged... Just throw one in... With that pump you got... Watch her fizz bro..

I think you've made that res up spot on.. :thumbs:

Just my

SWEEEET cheers Dog ... ha yea i already took 1 deffuser out mate ! they tied her long tap root up in knots .Have 2 oxypots and use 2 or 3 kettles of boiling water to clean the lot bud .... pour it down the depth gauge ect ...wipe dry with kitchen roll ... rinse again ... so yea all gets a good clean & i usually clean my pad before i do a change as it does get dusty due to my location,job & fkn dog !!

she's loving the new 90w ufo :thumbs: its 84oF in the cab & 20oC in the res right now....RH 42% and i think she likes the res as well !

I know i keep sayin this s**t ...butfkn nice1 bruva,fkn nice1 :buds:

What a f**king wan**r i am ....couldn't check this morn as was late for work & just ran out the door.... get home & ph is 6.4 from 5.55 not 24hrs ago .... so i add some down ,tyring to be carefull & only add a drop or two.... plunger slips (or my dumb ass fingers) & i dump about 6 drops in there instead giving me a ph of 4.6 from 6.4 S.... So got another L of water with 1ml of sillica again & added that to get back upto 5.6 .... checked the roots and the main bit thats starting to ball has really dark brown in the centre & some others hanging on there own are looking proper brown compared to there really healthy looking white yesterday ...WTF IS GOING ON??? PH up a whole point in 24hrs & roots go from lush white to shit brown in the same time ???

Nothing goes smothly for me hey !!! will throw up some pics of roots now
