Ok so I just posted on here yesterday about wondering when to flip these plants and I watered them, and they looked perfectly fine, little spots here and there starting but I didn’t think anything of it…
so I just went in there to check on them and a good portion of the leaves are lookin pretty bad. Any ideas what I’m missing?
I thought the spots could have been a calcium or magnesium problem like I dealt with on my first grow. But then I used dolomite lime and calmag and everything was fine again. So I did that again this time thinking it would help, but it seems like it only got worse.
I had been feeding nutrients pretty heavy every other time or so until I noticed the tips of the leaves turning a little yellow. Then I’d give it just water a time or two.
Do people normally feed nutrients every feeding at this point?
P.h has been between 6.5-6.7 and runoff is pretty consistently the same.
Any help getting this under control as soon as possible is appreciated.
I ask that because of these lines across one of the leaves. Almost as if the light intensity is burning the plant, or something was sprayed on it and that portion of the leaf was shielded by another leaf.
That’s actually a really interesting observation actually. I never noticed that. Oddly enough I just raised the light a little bit too, it was creeping up close to 10-12 inches and I raised it back to 20. I was letting it kinda get close to try and keep the tops a little shorter and let the sides try and catch up.
I did check the calibration at the beginning of this grow it appeared to be pretty spot on, the tester fluid was a little old though… maybe I should get some new stuff and try again.
They can roast quick. I moved a goldleaf auto out from under 2 SF2000s and into a tent with an SE7000. I thought the PAR would be about the same accounting for distance from light and had the dial at 50% on the 7000. Roasted it like ham overnight. Still got some bud, but she never forgave me.
Good news is you’re still in veg, so you can fix this and she’ll make more solar panels before you flower. Just delays start of flower until it’s figured out and shes as happy as she can be.
I have the same meter and that should have a 3 point calibration. 4pH, 7pH, and 10.01pH. You can get a calibration kit that comes with three bottles of calibration liquid. I just fill the caps of each bottle, do the calibration, and toss what was in the caps to keep the bottles uncontaminated.
Mold in the cap with the storage liquid right? I get that too. Try to replace the liquid after every few weeks. I always forget and when I do I grab a half dozen q-tips and swab out the cap and around the probe until its clean. Rinse with distilled water and refil the cap with the solution. Recalibrate of course.
Its got a little clip on the back. I have some shelves that have a notch I clip it onto so it stays upright as well and probe stays in the storage liquid.
yeah, it starts to get kinda funky looking around the inside of the cap in the corners and stuff. Is there a specific storage liquid? I’ve just been using water.
