Day 47
2022-10-09
Haven't taken the time to update in a while. The past several days I have been battling more deficiencies. I think it was due to salt buildup but not certain. PPM in has been a little over 600 and ppm out has been a little over 900 (girls were showing some nute burn tips and leaf edges). I was ph'ing to 6.2 but I think that was too high. The eazy plug website says to ph between 5.8 and 6.0 so that is what I am doing now. I flushed all of them really good with ph'd tap water then feed just base nutes at 25% AN recommended (4ml/G). That was yesterday and today it looks like the leaf damage has slowed or possibly completely stopped so hopefully I am on the right track. I am going to feed with the same res today then mix a new batch tomorrow and include carboload and overddrive to get back on track with dr autoflowers recommendation but I may use lower quantities of all of them. I am supposed to be up to 8ml/G base nutes now and they were burning at 7ml so I think I will try 6ml tomorrow and see how it goes. I have also been supplementing with calimagic because I believe coco requires daily calmag because it doesn't bind to coco the way it does other media. Not sure if I need to supplement since my base nutes are made for coco, so I may hold off on using calimagic to see whether or not it is needed.
It has been a real roller coaster learning all this stuff. I've only grown in soil before so this is a completely different world.
