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

[jtrain252]

Yup.....it's F&@Ked for sure. Just chop it and start over!


............No .....really .....like I said before....chill the F%@K out already! Take a step back and get yourself together. You just keep jacking around with this poor thing and are literally hen pecking it to death. It's time to switch over to BLOOM. Your leaves are screaming at you and you just look the other way and keep on pounding her. Tip burn and now the whole plant is showing signs of leaf clawing. Make a new bucket with only this ....BLOOM, Cal/Mag and your Hydroguard...nothing else!!!!! With a PPM of 725 and PH 5.8. Between the BLOOM(4-8-7) and the Cal/Mag you still are getting a pretty high douse of nitrogen so you no longer need the GROW. The Cal/Mag spots are the result of 1 of 2 things. 1) it really does want more(inexpensive LED's suck the calcium out of plants, my MarsHydro300w sure does) it is what it is. A calcium def. is NOT doing to kill your plant, ugly leaves are not going to wreck a plant. Just go look at my last Cherry Bomb(won Aprils BOM/POM contest) leaves are ugly as hell due to cal/mag. Massive yield...7.95 oz dry....2) it's so locked out from all the newbie jacking you are doing. You gotta get in touch with the basics and rock that shit like a BOSS before you go tossing all this other stuff in the brew.....Diamond Nector, RapidStart....goodness sack Pondzyme.....you got some Koi fish in your bucket? You are making a problem out of things that aren't even a problem. Example Clear Rez! You are using Hydroguard, that is protecting your bucket. If I recall from a P.M. you sent me you are using Clear Rez to clean your spare buckets correct? That's fine.....totally not needed though. So now your mom goes and basically tops off your current rez with it. My question is why was there a bucket of it just sitting around? If you want to clean you bucket give it a rinse with plain water and that is all that is needed. If that Clear Rez was not sitting around you would not be freaking out like I am sure you are right now....so like I said you made a problem out of one that did not exist to start with.

You gotta ignore the GH charts!!! They do NOT have a chart for a DWC AUTOFLOWERING cannabis plant!!!! At 1600PPM you should be very lucky that plant is not a pile of crispy leaves.

A little more on the calcium problem. I had been growing with a MarsHydro 300w old model(180w). Keeping a normal cal/Mag feed rate would keep my plants happy till they grew to a distance of 18" or less from the light. Then no matter how much cal/mag I fed them they will start to stress. It's just how it is. Yield sure didn't seem to be effected. Just how the plant reacts to the spectrum of these LED fixtures. I have learned the cause of my problem and I have learned to live with it. Yours may be reacting in the same manner to the light you are using.

Please ...please understand I am not trying to be a "Mood killer" like someone else called me. I am just trying to keep you on track and it seems like you have yourself going down a rabbit hole a lot. Bucket changes every couple of days it seems and them you chase your PH.....guess why! Sometimes a little straight forward advice can help.

Nope I appreciate it then when I get back home I'll dump yhe rez 1 more time and only do bloom. It's clawing cause she dumped that chemical it was clearly marked I just don't think she was paying attention. Ph is constantly stable at 5.8 always it doesn't float...I have the light 24 inches high at 5ml I guess I can leave her at 5ml and say f it. If i want the ppms around 700 I'd have to drop the nutes to about 2ml of bloom instead of 5 Unless you want me to lower calmag @HotBunz

The only reason I used clear rez to clean the buckets was cause I heard clean theM so instead of using a soap I figured that would work. If all i have to do is rinse then I'll do that.I figured if people said clean they meant CLEAN

What says you have to use 5ml of BLOOM? I would use a middle of the road feed rate for the cal/mag for now. You won't be able to fix the cal. def. that has already happened and most likely it will look worse on the leaves that already have been affected. Let's face it we don't know what the problem with that is could be lock out in that case a higher cal/mag is useless.

You have never had a root rot problem no reason to go nuts. The most I do is a drop of dish soap and a quick wipe down a good rinse and your done.

 

[jtrain252]

I had issues in my first two attempts so I just kind of took a give it every approach to avoid the but I see what your saying. I'll drop calmag to 3ml and run bloom tonight

All of what @HotBunz is correct, but I would add that you still need to be swinging your pH that will assure you that your plants are able to absorb the nutes that you are giving them. But also as he said, CALM DOWN lol. Your plants still look like they are healthy and happy minus a little bit of leaf clawing, but that can be rectified in a matter of hours. He is correct though about LED's sucking the Calmag out of your plants though and to some degree it will happen to almost everyone when growing autoflowering cannabis plants. And trust us when we say that having a Calmag problem isn't the worst thing that can happen and really isn't going to affect too much, yes it makes ugly spots on the leaves but it doesn't effect the calyxes, so your bud will be fine I promise. I had a Calmag problem with my AutoX grow and I can say that without a doubt it did not affect my yield to any significant degree. Also just remember you've got this, you have a whole community of expert auto growers and we won't let you fail, assuming you head our advice. Keep up the good work and don't stress too much it will be ok I promise

Hey I get super nervous when something I lovr goes wrong. If you guys agree calmag deficiency isn't going to kill her then I'm fine with it this led I'm using is a cheap version of a Mars 600 (300 watt) so I guess then it's inevitable. Like I said in a few hours I'll dump the rez and go just bloom

 

[derek420colorado]

Yeah man you will be fine and as long as you are trying to correct the calmag problem and keep it under control you will be just fine and your smoke will turn out fantastic I promise, we won't let her die on you.

@dcat0921 @derek420colorado @HotBunz
Day 43
Ph 5.6
Temp 77
Humidity 40
PPM's 760

So I did a bucket change after the catastrophe
Hydroguard 2ml....calmag 2ml.....bloom 3ml.....that's it ppms holding 760...now if the calmag gets worse would that mean it's not being locked that I need to up it correct.....

Picsssss

I think she looks better then this morning ...I think

 

[derek420colorado]

Oh yeah there is not nearly as much leaf clawing for sure, and as far as it being locked out, again if it is your pH not right it will stay locked out. So with everything you have done, I would still suggest a pH swing in order to make sure that it isn't being locked out by that factor. If it still is showing signs of getting worse then I would try adding more CalMAG, I have seen lots of folks that use up to 10ml per liter of CalMag. So if adjusting the pH doesn't arrest the problem I would add some more. Again that is just me
