Twisted first hydro attempt

[Twisted]

Should have started this diary straight away, I'm having some problems so hopefully we can get them through it and hopefully this can help someone in the future.

Firstly I will list equipment etc then explain a little of whats happened.

Using a 25 pot flood and drain system
10 inch box fan
3x3 tent
8inch rvk intake
Hps lights 4 at the moment
80/20 hydrocorn

Nutrients are
Terra aquatics tripart
Katana roots
Silver bullet
Silicate

Cuttings are cuban linx they are just over 2 weeks old now but not looking great.

Hope you can follow along maybe point me in the right direction or just follow along for the ride.

Will update with more details and pics tomorrow

P.s its really nice to be back on the here I know I've been back and forth but I'm going to make sure I finish this diary off and hopefully help some people out on the way

So these are from the first 2 weeks, was advised by a friend to use a really low strength feed, was hand feeding at this stage also.

After some advice on here I upped the feed from 0.5-1.0

These are the plants as of today can see a good difference, so hopefully they keep improving as I say upped the feed to 1.0ec and started flooding only flooding every 3 days at the moment, any pointers or advice is appreciated

Also anyone know if I should be using the silica now? Its the terra aquatics one but I was told to use it just before flip?

With the silicone I use it for veg untill the 3 week of flowering. Mix it with the water before adding anything else.
I think the EC is too low. Get it up to 1.6 and reckon the plants will thank you.

They're bone dry.

That needs flooding daily now.

Up the ferts too.

I told you all this last week.

Hey Twisted, I agree with the general consensus that you're under feeding these. There be dragons though :) They are not happy about it so don't go throw a shit load of nutrient in there as you will piss them off even more.

Turn the light down so you slow the whole process down a bit and up the feed to ~1.3EC. Let them sit there for about 5-7 days just recovering. Then increase the light intensity along with the feed until you're back to normal again.

Also, while they recovering, drop all of the additives. They won't be helping much until the plants are optimal.

Good luck !
