Hi Folks: Im a newbie, 3 grows before last have all been good with only desire to increase yield. The fourth Grow has been a disaster after looking great for 8 weeks.
Im growing autoflowers, most recent Northern Lights, indoors in 5 x 4 x 3 tent. Mars Hydro TS-2000 light 18/6. Using FFOF, sprouted seed planted directly to 5 gal fabric pot. Using FF liquid trio of nutrients. I hold nutrients until week five; Using big bloom
before flowering and tiger bloom after start of flowering. Did add some mycorrhizal in hopes of strengthening root system to affect yield. Ive been using distilled water. The last grow was perfect til week 8. In week 9 had some of the top leaves of tallest plant curl, thought it was too close to light. Over next two weeks plant died. Almost all fan leaves yellowing, curled and drooping.
Im hoping for suggestions and would also like to ask if you have an autoflowering feeding schedule And watering schedule recommendation and possibly a tracking sheet.
Thanks so much for your assistance
Mike
Distilled water on its own (water only days) isnt good to use. Its fine water but with out any additives it is not ph stable. Water this isnt ph stable wont adjust the soil ph but instead takes on the soil ph. Nutes will bring down ph, you can test this by testing the water then adding nutes and testing the water again. Some nutes boast ph stability but I don’t buy into that. You need to add calmag to your distilled water on water only days. Add until your tds is 300-350ppm. Then ph it to 6.5-6.8ph. My experience with FF is to always ph to 6.8. Nutes, water, and flush water all should be phd a lil high. When it comes time for flushes in FF do it, and use dechlorinated tap to do so otherwise you will need to add calmag to all 15 gallons of water…tap is best for flush IMO.
Your plants look grossly underwaterd. Can you fill me in on your watering habbits?
This resembles PH issues at the root zone. Run of PPMs and PH would help. I suspect there’s a salt build up tanking the PH preventing nutrient absorption. I would flush with H2O at 6.5 and test a sample for PH and PPMs
Hey there @MacAttack333 ,
This is the same as your last thread where you asked for help…
We would all like to help you figure out your problem but we need your input on the questions we have. Nobody can simply look at a picture and know what happened.
