What's the feed in and runoff? Don't see any burned or clawed tips or signs of heat stress. They do look overwatered though so maybe they're not drinking. Pots heavy all the time? Using hydroguard or anything for the roots?

I run the irrigation for 3 min 8 times a day with 4 .5 GPH drippers pot. Which should come out to 5.6 gallons a day but I don't think I use that much more like 4-5 and I get 1-2 gallons back usually don't start seeing runoff till the third or so fertigation. Feed is 650ppm now was up around 700 not sure runoff numbers. I don't think there heavy all the time and yes I use hydro guard and sensizym once a week

I doubt it’s too much light…. And if it was N excess, I would expect more clawing. It’s really just the WW that looks unhappy….

Although the plant to the left looks a bit light, but she’s developing fine.

Does WW look like that all the time?

Yeah WW has taken it the worst and has been rough the whole time to her left is OSMH which looks better and better with less N but she is light now with some light spotting. I typically wouldn't think too much light either but this light seems fucking powerful

Got the @Jean-O girls hooked up today with a new pump thinking somewhere around 1700 gph.

I've been using a 2450gph for a while and you can run a shitload of drippers I'm currently running 22 0.3gph drippers with plenty of juice left, but I've also blown a plug out of a pipe with it too and it was big time problems

Need to put a pressure regulator inline I stopped using mine but don’t use nearly as big of a pump

Hydroguard full time, but what's the problem with checking runoff? It'll take 10 minutes

I just go with pressure compensating drippers. The blown plug was my fault by getting lazy and using a lot of plugs instead of changing the pipe We've got those regulators on the irrigation for the wife's garden and they always are leaking

Cause I had for a long time and never seen the numbers very high so I stopped checking. Just watch the volume to make sure I getting proper runoff. I could check but don't really trust it after it's been sitting a ran through the drainage system.


So I just checked runoff from yesterday cause they just got their first feeding is 730ppm 5.0 ph. Feed in is 675ppm 5.8ph to start day and creeps to 6.2 threw the day

I think it could be a root issue sometimes but then see the bottom of the pots and see the roots blasting through and think that's a good sign

Hey @Lil Dab
Maybe if you have time this weekend you can monitor the weight of a few of those pots…. That would be a good indicator of weather they’re getting too much.

Just for comparison sake….

Stone Dragon is in coco and during flower she’s been getting one gallon every other day….. same as the other plants in flower, which are in peat.

I know our growing styles are different, but there may be something to be learned from the comparison…

Just a thought anywho…

I know the new hotness is keeping media wet, but I guess I do it the old ways…

I did just lift the pots also they seem on the heavy side I am turned back the irrigation little and will watch it carefully the next few days. It very well could be over wearing but I really do believe it's also can be the feed balance wouldn't surprise if it's combination of both things
