Grow Mediums Attempting 2nd Grow for the 4th time :)

The dots look like the start of a calmag def, I would up your calmag asap. What I found last time is that the "calmag" def was really more just a mag deficiency so I would start by using Epsom Salt first and see if that helps arrest the spreading of those dots into rust colored holes in your plants leaves

How much Epsom salt would you suggest

 

[derek420colorado]

Um I need to go and look around to try and see how much to use cause I can't remember off the top of my head. If you look around in the infirmary threads and do a search for Epsom salt you should come up with something, but let me try and find out how much I used

We will see if she can take it tomorrow or if i need to drop it down a little. New 952gph Air pump will be here tomorrow. Im very excited she Overgrew the Ruler so ill need a tape measure lol. Also The highest point of the plant is 18inches away from the light. What do you guys think. Looking good?

Oh yeah that is what I am talkin about, dude those roots are going to eat up that new O2 for sure they are primed and ready to explode and provide a super healthy base for flowering!!

we will see i should have it up and running around this time tomorrow. She needs to be done in 40 days so i can smoke her lol just kidding i have a feeling she is gonna take a hell of a lot longer then specified which is fine if shes gonna give me some yieldy yield

Just be ready...you're gonna shit yourself when you see the increased air flow...it's amazing but totally worth it.

 

[derek420colorado]

Yeah its like going from a gentle bubble bath to a full blown jetted hot tub, Both of you should go to my thread about increased airflow and maybe give your experience thus far, because I am coming across it the more and more DWC grows I see folks doing on here not maximizing their potential and at around 30-50 dollars US it is a cheap way to increase just about every aspect of the plant. I want to spread the gospel of the maximum oxygenated root zone lol

Checked plant 3 hours later ppms had gone from 1600 to 1700 diluted down to 1500. This morning she is still 1500 and drank a quart of water so that's better Ph seems to be holding at 6. Gonna drop it down to 5.6 see if it settles. Do plants normally need more then 5ml of calimagic when flowering cause I still see some spots popping up that look like calmag deficiencies. But I'm already haing to dilute the ppms?

Hi there,forgive me because i did not read the entire thread being so long and all but i thought i might be able to help a little, i think the plants locked out because those ppms are just to high and you seem to have gotten yourself into a bit of a mess ,don't get me wrong I'm a beginner as well but probably more qualified than some simply because I have only freshly had all these issues and worked through them recently haha :s.
I think you may need to: once again empty the res i know it sucks and it gets expensive.
Drop those ppms right down to a safe level.my auto ultimate is on about 1.3ec (700ish ppms) quite happily and eats down to about 300 ppm by change day. (this is a large auto in full bloom) I would perhaps start yours at maybe 400ppms and work up once shes healed.
I top up with Cal-mag half way through and just give plain PH water dayly. I never top up with nutes (sometimes il add extra overdrive in bloom and extra voodoo in seedling that's all) as not to throw the balance out it keeps my head clear of nonsense and numbers and saves me nutes.
Don't think u can push them by taking nutes to the limit it dosnt work that way "less is always more in DWC", they simply take what's needed from the bucket regardless of whats in there ,it will still suck it up in the plants normal syphon action however will simply burn when the mix is to hot.

We all have our own way of doing things,i recently spoke to someone that consider's themselves a master grower but fails to follow almost all rules set out by others ,I dont agree or disagree hahaha but just keep it real to what I know to be true and keep an ear to the floor.
I hope this helps mate any questions that a noob can answer hit me up I'm a pretty good noob . GL

Not sure half the people say the run the full strength no issues and others are a fraction. I'll bring her back down to 1000 bexcuse she had no issues there. When I get home she will get about a gallon of RO which dilutes down probably to 1300
