New Grower very 1st grow and using 250w

[ripster]

When I water mine, I always make sure I get run off in the pots water catcher...I leave the water in the catcher and if not in a few hours, buy morning, it's all soaked up into the soil...Wait till it's dry and repeat...

I think that may be part of my issue cause the little one of the 3 always has a little run off and it's the only one still looking good. will under watering cause the tips to curl like that???

not usually... but in combination with ferts... if they get too dry they cant use them and sometimes theyll show a lil nute burn as a result...

did you see my watering post? (last page)

@RIP: since i started bubbled water... i dont have to have holes in my containers..., i can water extensively and they use it up... enough oxygen present i think... used to get flooded if i did that befoire bubbled water...

@newautofan... use 1tsp h202 (3% cheap grade pharmacy) per gallon of water... bet you'll notice a vigor diofference...

or... bubble your water:

I have been bubbling water for last 5 or 6 waterings they have over doubled in size since

ok... good... so you see it then...

Let em ride a day and see how they are... i mean they are really healthy overall... might just be an adjustment shock...

check em tommorrow and if they are still showing issues... we'll find n fix the issue... meantime... keep close track of ph, humidity, tempetc... the more data set we have the better the analysis... :smoke:

 

[newautofan420]

OK that sounds great just came from there temp is 74.7 hum is 51% looks like they are ready for watering but going to wait til tomorrow. just going to give em RO water with calmax. Also I always add calmax to every watering could this be a problem??? full dose of 1tsp per gal

 

[JM]

oh!!!! yeah... calmax cevery watering could take your ph out a bit.... check soil ph

 

[newautofan420]

I don't have a soil tester only one with drops will get one tomorrow

should i just water with the ro only???

 

[newautofan420]

does that hannahi test the ph in the water and soil

 

[JM]

no... seperate meters required for that...

but you can check the runoff water to get an idea where you are at

I have a Rapidtest for soil..:
