Newbs 1st grow! Complete failure or a "by the skin of my teeth" documentary 🤔🫣

[Skinnypuppy80]

Here's a picture of all 3 strains in the same tent. 3 each from left to right: Gorilla Roadkill, Dante's Inferno, LemonGrass. I don't know why they wouldn't be able to share the same space in a hydro system. They all have done fine so far in soil. The picture is recent from only a few days ago.

What LED I'm using depends on which tent I'm using. This tent is my AC Infinity 5 x 5. It has a nanolux 640w foldable with 660nm red built into the fixture. In there with it is eight 660/730nm sunboards powered by meanwell drivers. I also have 2 440nm 55watt blues by Mars Hydro, 2 660nm 55watt reds by mars hydro, and 2 30 watt 730 far reds by SpiderFarmer. My main light is currently set to level 4 which is 420 watts. I also have 2 sets of the AC Infinity Ionbeams for sidelighing. In the picture they are on although I am not using those for the grow just yet.

Tent #2 is an oversized 4x8 by agromax. It has 2 ROI E-720 fixtures by grower's choice. They are controlled by the grower's choice light controller. The lights also have supplemental UV/IR bars on them. Great setup but a bit more costly to run than the other tent. That's why its not currently in use.

Edit: with all the lights on.

Are those cages in or around your pots? I still can't tell or are they bags?

The are inside the bags. The legs of the cages do tunnel water so watering can be a bit tricky. The boot tray in the middle is so we can easily slide the 2 middle plants out to allow access to the plants in the back of the tent. Those 2 plants come out on watering day ... or any day we are giving them some plant care. They will be coming out today so I can take cuttings.

The bags are cheap 3 gallon bags I found on Amazon. I like these because they are deeper and not as wide as most other. The fabric isn't quite as heavy as AC Infinity fabric pots ... but its far from cheaply made and I like them.

Hows this info?

Hows this info?

It means your water supplier is using chlorine, not chloramine, so you can dissipate the chlorine out of it. Ascorbic acid (vitamin c) will also neutralize it. Either way works to bring your water to a dechlorinated state.

By the way, we're trying to figure out the best way to ship clones in northern, often frozen parts of the USA. Any ideas?

Lost me there mate? Clones shipping? my water should be alright so long as its left to sit?

Your water is fine. Even with chlorine its usually fine for most uses. Many people want the chlorine gone and out of the way. It's certainly better to use dechlorinated water if you're making a microbial tea. Otherwise, the loss of microbes is short lived ... like replaced in less than a half hour after your done watering.

Well good thing I decided to keep that auto! Tent is looking bare after getting rid of the herms. Before the deforestation

After deforestation

Sucked cuz they were healthy and looking productive. They had some decent root systems going I think?

Bright side of the ordeal, the auto isn't getting crowded anymore. I think maybe I locked it up though?

Nute burn? I'm gonna just drain the dwc and keep the ppm (500 scale) around 600? It drinks like 1 gal a day, not taking in the nutes though. It's like a week or two from chop i believe? Sprouted 11/28 and is supposed to be a 10-12 week flower plant. Suggestions @Aqua Man @moe.red @steamroller and anyone else!!

Sounds good. Lower N and higher K ratio not a bad idea to start adding 1 gram per gal of Epsom salt either in the last couple weeks.

At this point its just getting them across the finish line

 

[steamroller]

The tip discoloration is MG [ Epsom ] deficiency I believe so like Aqua said get some Epsom in the mix.

 

[Skinnypuppy80]

Just did the change. After checking the nute reg I've been following thus far, kept the ppm at 370, ph 6, and added the epsom... I hope I at least get this one through the line lol From what I had been following w nutes, it also says to add Epsom. I overlooked that part, thanks for the reminder u weed wizards!!

Howdy! My sole survivor I believe is getting pretty close, another week or two maybe? Trichromes are getting milky? but no amber yet that I can see. I have a loupe, but have been using my s23 ultra just cuz it seems easier. What do you all use?


And is this possibly a potassium deficiency?


A couple of pics of leaves I removed about 6 hrs ago
