Hi All,
I have been trying my hand at growing indoors hydroponically. The 2 attempts so far have failed.
They look really nice until about week 3 and then just stop growing and turn yellow.
morning James… not sure what your issue might be right now… most growers don’t go full manufacture schedule for feeding… I use the General Hydroponics line… you have some kind of deficiency/toxicity with that yellow … bucket grows are the most challenging that I see…
Bump your pH up and watch the new growth
The current “old” growth won’t recover but leave them for now
And maybe something about buckets and air gap
I grow diff style systems but we have great bucket growers here.
I don’t mind at all switching to General Hydroponics line, if you have time could you tell me which products you use from them and maybe a feeding schedule.
Mean time I’ll bump up my PH level.
Thanks for your help. BTW.. I’m almost retired too
this is my current feed schedule mixed in 5 gallon bucket then added to the 12 gallon tote I grow in… the X2 means I repeat for 2 weeks… I ph to around 6 when making the nutes but after that I do not adjust ph in the tote … I let the plant drive the ph where she wants it during those days in between change outs…
I would like to see a lot more information/particulars about your grow and setup before making any specific recommendations. Please fill this out and be as complete as possible. In particular; gap between net pot and liquid and water temps.
