How’s it going guys I’ll try to be brief new grower new to hydro and I have had a slew of problems I have contended with and think I have overcome BUT this one starting to see Grey leaves throughout the plant I don’t think it’s mold ph 6.1-5.5 ppm 450 ish RH30-56 running sf2000 with a spa with a 300gph pump
Welcome @BloomingGhost
Looks like a deficiency of Mag or something or maybe Ph issue. I am not in hydro but several good growers here to help.
@Graysin and I think @OGIncognito do hydro or know someone who does.
I would get this up to 900-1000. She’s hitting flower and a need for extra PK. Resembles a potassium deficiency and should be fixed with feeding at the above numbers. What’s your air gap between the net cup and res solution and res temps? I also check the color of my roots periodically and inoculate them with Southern Ag or Hydroguard at every feeding/ res change. Appreciate the tag @HMGRWN
So I use a mix of stuff since I am a novice haven’t figured out my go to yet so I’m using GH 3 part FF microbrew as well as cal mag and hydro guard my air gap I try to keep it about an inch from my air roots but I’ll try hiking my dosages way up see what she does would you have a recommendation for hydro nutes that do well for ya @OGIncognito
Defo the right track. Although Id lean more P (Phosphorus).
Also close but I think you meant Cal. Those dots are usually more rusty colored but could be new damage just not completely discolored
As noted that’s real low PPMs. Also in flower I’d be aiming that pH right around 5.8-6.0 (fluctuation is fine but a little higher is better right now).
She does largely just look hungry. Check manufacturer feed charts and follow the recommendations there - it will help get you closer to the right ppm range. In hydro in flower, I’ve pushed between 900 and 1300 PPMs safely.
Thanks so much for the feedback peeps new to the dwc game and I’ll keep looking to improve I’m sure I’ll be trying to pick everyone’s brain until I can get on the right track from seed to harvest @PurpNGold74 @Graysin @HMGRWN @OGIncognito
Appreciate the assistance Brother
I would recommend Jacks 321. Simple, clean and a little goes a long way
Welcome to the neighborhood. You are in good hands here. I agree with all above
@BloomingGhost other than the deficiencies that are starting to show, youve been doing an amazing job so far. I have nothing to add that hasnt been covered already. Be sure to keep us updated on her progression.
Welcome to the community!
Welcome to the family @BloomingGhost

I’ll give her a shot anything crazy with ratios do I have to have a scale or what @OGIncognito
For jacks 321 a scale will be needed to measure each part. Amazon has some reliable and inexpensive ones
Did you crank your light when you went into flower?
I turned it up a little every day until I maxed it
I’ve found that’s not the best option, 75-80% max
Seems that full blast too soon will fry your girls because the plants Dont have nutrients inside them to deal with that intensity
A slow increase of everything will help counter this
