Nutrient lockout

40x I think, I just had a real good look this morning and I’m fairly sure I’m seeing cloudy but deff no amber. Update on the PPM’s after I saw you say 900 it was too late but it played on my mind so 0630 I was out there giving the 3 high PPM plants 2lt of plain water at 5.8PH PPM was 240. Runoff was 1630 (-150) 1610 (-150) and 1390 (-300)
Since I was feeling scientific I checked the PPM of the water from the dehumidifier and it was 2PPM! also the PH was almost bang on 7. I tipped it into one of the big buckets instead of down the drain like I normally do, thought if I had used this I might of got PPM down a few more points. I was a bit disappointed about how much the runoff dropped, was hoping for more.

Proff I have just watered, the three nearly done one got water only from the dehumidifier the rest got 2ml p litre Dutch Pro, run off in picture. I wrote po instead of ppm for some reason. What you make of them?

definitely looking better.. The plants in the 600-800ppm range are ok. You can probably feed those at 50% strength to start back.. The ones still over 1000, you probably need to use plain, zero ppm ro water and flush them down to the 6-800 range. How are the plants looking to you lately? Perked up? Droopy? Discolored? Getting better? No visible change?

Thanks, they look ok to me, one bud is starting to foxtail a bit, it’s one of 3 that are nearly done. Those are the ones that got plain water as I’m starting their flush. The rest got 2ml p litre of Dutch Pro. I think I’m going to have to chop the first 3 in 2 weeks and the others 3-4 weeks. The others will start their flush soon as well, they still have a lot of white pistols. Can’t find any ambers though.

Keep mind that pistils are not what you want to go by.. It's the trichomes that matter. When they are cloudy with some amber, you are pretty close. Pistils can die off well before trichomes mature. Your phone or camera should have a good enough zoom or macro feature you can use to take pics of the trichomes until you can get a jewellers loupe.

Those pics are with iPhone through a jewellers loupe. I never got ambers that I could find on my last 2 grows either. These are on day 82 now.

Those pics are with iPhone through a jewellers loupe. I never got ambers that I could find on my last 2 grows either. These are on day 82 now.

Tried to take some more pics with iPhone without the loupe. I’m fairly sure I’m starting to get foxtailing. The tent is in my summer house and the sun is starting to get stronger so on sunny days if I’m not in to open the window the tent has hit 30c (86f) a few times. The light is out from 1030-1430 it’s the afternoon sun that is the problem. I could buy an air con unit but I’m nearly done. Or I could add an hour and turn light off at 1530? Getting a bit stressed now! Won’t be able to do another grow until Nov and that’s if Mrs let’s me! Got any tips? Could raise light more, it’s a parabolic with the bulb vertical and I have been able to keep it quite close. It’s about 30 inches from canopy now which is the furthest it’s been.
I have heard a few people say you don’t always get ambers on autos, have you found this?
Thanks for all your help Proff
