I got 2nd place indica at the East coast connesours cup...rigged competition.

I was leading in points the entire time which was live scoring online...then dude extends the scoring deadline.

Then my score somehow drops 7 full points I put me 0.1 behind 1st place who just happened to be a sponsor for the event LMAO...I want to blast them on IG but I don't want to look like a sore loser.

Sounds like the place we came from.
If you see it others see it.
Congrats man~!

Reminds me exactly of thc farmer that's how I ended up here lol....I'm super heated about this one tho...there no second place in this competition so no recognition or anything....would've been cool to get my name out there in the local community...but apparently it's just a circle jerk for the dude who runs it and his friends.

 

[ebbnflowr]

Coming down tomorrow I think if the coco has dried back enough might be Wednesday actually....

4x4 came down this am going to be my best run in terms of quality I think...tent smells super duper dank.

Day 19 in the flower room and they stopped stretching like 3 days ago so I threw the uc lights in there...can't ask for much more at this point. Hopefully I can control the burn I got last run. I think I need to be flushing weekly or at least hand watering from the top once weekly with the ebb and flow buckets or the ec raises and the pH gets out of whack...I think that was the issue last run...

 

[CookiesLikeWhoa]

Don't know if this applies to your setup, but when we used to run auto-pots we would see the salt clime the pots. This was most noticeable in the 7G pots, whole top of it would be covered in salt. For that reason, if we ever top watered late into the flowering it would really cause issues.

To help with that we dropped the EC a lot. It helped, but we still had issues. Switched back to drain to waste and haven't had the same issues.

Thank you bro they are plastic pots so I don't see the salt rise but I know it's happening. I read on another forum from someone who grows with my set up they said at the end of the res, dilute the water to about half the ec, then hand water at the end of the res change to flush a little bit...gonna give that a shot this run.

I use autopots and the salt does all go to the top. So i stay on lower side of ec in Flower.

Yeah I think that's a good idea...I'm starting to see some burn on the edges of the leaves so I lowered ec today and I'm gonna start flooding 2x to try and keep the ec down...hand water once a week with half ec and that sgoold help I think! Thank you

Here is today on day 21 for Halle Berry...they look great but always trying to improve and make each grow better.

@ebbnflowr , your grow area is beautiful! I’m amazed just looking at your grow!

Can someone explain the “How” behind salts climbing in these auto-pots?

I’ve never used them, nor the ebb and tide form of hydration/fertigation, so I’m at a loss as to how it happens and why it climbs !!

Just a stoner that got caught in a loop

 

[steamroller]

Water with or without salts will climb using capillary action.
You'll find a link that will explain it you like.
Water really can and does go uphill without assistance of pumps, gravity or mechanics.
Has to do with surface tension and other factors. Leonardo DaVinci first observed it.

I don't know about auto pots, but when you feed with salts and the coco drys back, the ec of the coco will rise and if you don't keep the ec down, bad things start happening so you have to flush periodically to keep it in check.

Thank you by the way bro...Im obsessed

 

[ebbnflowr]

Day 23...most of the heavy lifting is done. Fed them today at 1.3 to get the ec down a bit. Will change res in the am and get them back up to 2.2-2.4. 2x a day 6.0 pH 1000ppfd....

This is the burn I'm talking about that always starts right around this time in flower that I'm trying to eliminate....do you guys think it's just needs to be flushed and/or to high ec? Or is the burning on the serrations a sign of something else? Any help would be appreciated

 

[GoodShit97]

I would say the ec at 2.2-2.4 is on the high side? Possible salt build up?
But I don't know much about the style grow you run.

I figured that's what it was I just want to be sure I flushed a couple times already to get the run off down but yeah...they doing good just want it to be perfect haha.

 

[GoodShit97]

I know @Aqua Man would know what's up but idk how busy he is.

 

[ebbnflowr]

Here are the Dantes inferno 6 and 8...I bought #6 from pops genetics right after him and mhd got into some sort of argument and pops put all of mile high daves cuts up for 50 bucks so I scooped.. then I traded my boy a cut of Halle Berry for #8 and I got them going side by side day 24...

#8 is more vigorous for sure...crazy vigor on that cut. #6 is super finicky. I heard on a pod cast mhd say it herms on the lowers under the least bit of stress so it's just a bunch of tops on #6 I lollipopped the shit out of that plant haha...

#8

Very early K deficiency.

Could be many things that cause it but most often is transpiration rates and nutrient ratios.

But like i say many things can cause it.

Can you give me as much detail on the grow as possible and the setup and equipment used?

Also a pic of the entire room

Just a "By-Product of the nutrients. Simply stated. I buy my material bags and rotate Coco as well. Cost of doing business. Cheers and those photo's are award winning. SS

Ok here we go...

They are in 2 gallon ebb and flow buckets...10 different cuts...I was feeding 2.7 through stretch...then day before yesterday I watered through the top with 1.3 ec 2x to try to lower the ec it was coming back like 4.0....so yesterday I flooded with 1.3 and it came back 1.7...

So I did a res change today and put it at 2.0...

I was feeding every other day the first 2 weeks. Every day week 3...now 2x a day...

1200ppm co2...I got the ppfd around 1k I believe my light meter doesn't pick up the 730 or 450 NM I don't think. Umm that's all I can think of! Oh temps are 82-85...rh 60-62.....pH during flower has been 5.9-6.2

Sounds like salt stress which limits the ability for the plant to uptake water. That makes perfect sense.

You did the right thing.

One thing i found was running an enzyme every 2 weeks when in small pots with coco with a light feed flush after really prevents this from happening.

That or you can increase the run off and closely monitor it so it doesn’t reach that level.

If its corrected already it won’t spread to new leaves but the ones affected will continue to get worse.

Hope that helps. If you have any more questions on just let me know

My bad ebb and flow. Top feed enzymes once a week or 2 and can lower EC a touch and increase feed events will help

Which enzymes do you mean brother ? Do you recommend one?

You think I could bump it up to 3x a day? I'm typically getting about 15-20% drybacks in between watering.

 

[Aqua Man]

Im not up to current products but komplete or hygrozyme is what i used to use.

You don’t need the full dose either. Half dose is good.

But remember any buildup of nutrients will be immediately released and immediately available to the plant. This can result in nutrient burn or tox. So i suggest adding it to a very light nutrient solution and hand application once every 2 weeks. And see how that works.

Also you can increase the event frequency this will prevent build up also.

When they are young you need to be careful but in 1 gal they drink a lot as they grow. I was feeding 14x a day by mid flower doing drain to waste. You won’t need that much but don’t be scared to up the frequency at this point the roots can handle it.
