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

12 hours report ph jumped from 5.5 to 6.2 ph down back to 5.6

She didn't even drink a quarter of a gallon which is strange because normally she would take down a little less then half a gallon overnight.....slightly concerned but I'll have to wait till 8pm tonight and see how much she has drank.

Calmag spots I'll do a week of the pH swing I think that should be plenty of time and then if it's still getting worse instead of 3ml I'll bump it to 6ml...
If you guys don't think calmag deficiences are cause got concern then I won't worry. I don't care if she's not pretty 20160509_073128.jpg 20160509_073123.jpg

It's just upsetting when you go 30 days perfect green plant and within 13 days a quarter of her has brown all over you know what I mean
 
It would be nice to get a plain picture without the LED's on. Because looking at that last picture I am not so sure it's cal/mag.
 
Don't kill yourself dude. It's not like the plant is going to die in a matter of hours.
It's not that
My first grow I had this same issue but got an ounce a plant. Now I grow for 3 people and with a baby on the way I need a good yield. I don't want anything to ruin it and it's bad enough I probably shocked the hell out of her with the massive dose of clear rez.....I just want to grow these nice plants you guys get. Apparently my girl is a marathon runner not a sprinter cause compared to other plants she hasn't really flowered yet my soil autos had buds by day 40 this one is 44 and still really not budding.

Not to mention I go to lunch at 230 and I live 2 miles away I figure the quicker I get help the quicker I can get her on track
 
Well I can tell I must of hurt her
Ph last night was 5.5 this morning 6.2
I reset her to 5.5 now she's 6.0
I'll reset her again in 5 hours when i get home but she was ph stable at 1 point.

PPM's were 760 now they are 830 which is bad considering she was drinking 900

Also she should have drank half a gallon by now, she's only drank a quarter

@HotBunz here is a pic. The left side,
front, right side, back, top shot. Let me know what you think and I guess I'll dilute her when I get home to 700.
Recap temp 77
Ph was 5.5 up to 6
Ppm was 760 up to 830

Good news is she still is drinking so she isn't dead.20160509_144416.jpg 20160509_144434.jpg 20160509_144440.jpg 20160509_144451.jpg 20160509_144522.jpg 20160509_144532.jpg 20160509_144542.jpg 20160509_144817.jpg
 
Day 44
Height 20inches
Ppm up from 760 to 850
Ph 5.9
Temp 77
Humidity 37
Rez 72

Plant only drank 1/4 gallon diluted mix down to 700...pushed ph up to 6.1 till the morning wherr I'll reset her to 5.5

Spots worse but o well. Smells good 20160509_144416.jpg 1462839970659346861053.jpg 14628400104031093103036.jpg


Here she is after I did a bunch of leaf tucking..........I figure if she doesn't yield heavy buds I'll at least get a bunch of spots20160509_212914.jpg

Anyone who has been following this i appreciate it. I know i seem like a pain in the ass and that i freak out easily, i just see all these growers both experienced and not having such huge success, some with a whole massive line of nutes some using dirt weed and shit materials and here i am with good equipment and i run into issues.

Im very confused at the moment with these issues and i just dont seem to be able to get ahold of it
I had no issues in VEG green leaves green stems explosive growth. The second it came to flowering i started developing reddish stems, and these brownish spots.
Now it could be a Calmag Deficiency, Or it could be Because theres too much calmag and its locking out, OR it could be because my PH doesnt swing. How do you guys ever figure this stuff out it seems super overwhelming. Same with formulas, im not supposed to follow GH nute chart but i dont understand how you guys figure out what you need. How do i know that 3ml of Bloom is enough when i see some people running triple the ml that i am. How do i know when to add a pk booster, when to back off bloom, when to increase calmag. Im sitting here reading journals and walk throughs and im at a loss.

She drank half a gallon, so as to hotbunz i added straight RO PPM is now back down to 710 PH is 5.5 Rez is 3.5 gallons of water 3ml of bloom and 2.5ml of calmag with 1/2 gallon of RO for a total of 4 gallons.


Also my LED panel WAS RIDICULOUSLY DIRTY so i pulled it completely apart, blew the dust off the heatsinks the fans the LED and glass wiped it all down with windex put it back together, im pretty sure it got brighter

Keep on keeping on man. What you've got so far I don't think is a major game ender. I know it sucks not having answers but you just gotta keep going and don't get too discouraged. She's a big beautiful bush and I think she's gonna produce just fine.
I don't have a lot of suggestions for you as this is my first rodeo with DWC so I would just be talking out my ass. There are others on here who know a lot more and will get you taken care of.
