Josh's hempy adventure

Why not just up your base ferts they have everything in your plants needs, they getting bigger fast so basically need more base ferts. Try 1.4 or 1.6ec. Only reason they paling up is cus 1.1 - 1.2 ec with added cal/mag in it is hardly anything for a fair sized plant to feed off from the real base ferts , it`s that which are needed, not cal/mag. Yes cus it`s gone a bit far underfeeding it maybe wise going with veg ferts till stretch is over now at a higher EC but pretty sure a higher EC with either would prevent this happening in future, get on it man, its not an overnight fix so just plod on. :)

Myself I always up feeds to 1.4- 1.6 first 3 or 4 weeks on 12/12 before dropping it back down after stretch is over. I never get underfeeding problems. Yours were looking slightly underfed before flipping as well imo, not cal or mag def but slightly underfed in general

Your doing grand for a first timer at this malarkey though, very nice

Thanks for the advice man it would prbly help if I quit switching up my grow style every time last run was dwc and I got nitrogen toxicity so I was taking it easy on nutes this time, little too easy I guess. I fed 1.4 ec a couple days ago btw I know it's not an overnight fix but I was hoping to see some sort of improvement to know I'm on the right track.
But like you said, nothing to do now but plow on and learn from my mistakes

Yes growing in water only medium ferts are available more or less 24/7 so you can get away with a lower feed where as growing in pots elements within your ferts like N/P/K will become depleted much quicker from the medium inbetween your feeds . :)

I would think your shit will improve now you`ve upped ferts, but it`s gonna take a week or two anyhow, so long as they`re not getting worse then your on right track. You could go a little higher if you wished it`s your shout. :)

Thanks jimmi I'll go ahead and feed a little higher tonight if that's what you suggest. I'll up it to 1.6-1.7 and see what happens another quick question for you mate, what weeks do you like to run a pk boost? and at what amount?
I haven't given any yet but was thinking of adding it in around week 4. Lmk what you think

Ive just started adding pk13/14 @ start of week 6 of 12/12 i`ll be adding it till i put them on water for a few weeks at end, so for around 3 weeks @ 1/2ml first 2 weeks and 1 ml 3rd week, i like to add it 3 weeks before i flush and put them on water at end for a few weeks so times may differ dependent upon strain i`m growing.

I add it first then make feeds up to ec i want with A&B. Once ytour plants have started greening up i`d be dropping feeds right back to say 1.0 to 1.2 ec, it`s only cus they are hungry atmo go in with higher feeds, if you had upped feeds at start of bloom then you just drop back after stretching is over.

Very good advice there from jimmi2scoops I'd say :)

Day 19 flower

Quick update for you guys. Not looking any better or any worse, at least the yellowing seems to have stopped. Fed once at 1.4 and another yesterday at 1.7

Looking like I'm missing something still so I'll throw down my current conditions and see if anyone has any ideas

Lights out temp and humidity- 28c and 65%
Lights on- 24.5c and 45%
Water out the tap is .4 ec, run through cheap carbon filter
Set ph at 5.8-6

Only using ionic bloom and cal/mag

The kush doesn't look too bad, but as you can tell the sour d is really light still.
What do you guys think, up the base feed more or water again at 1.7?

honestly im at a loss here, never tried that medium but maybe its the issue? Totally no clue mate sorry.

No worries. The medium should be completly inert, but the ph in the runoff seems to climb up quite a bit over time. I've made sure to keep them flushed so I don't think buildup is the problem.

Honestly starting to think something in my tap water is messing things up. I looked at last year's water quality report, both chlorine and chloromine are used. Doesn't say anything about calcium levels, but it does say there are nitrates in the water...maybe I should just bite the bullet and start buying water from those filtering machines..there's a store by me and the water tests at 0 ppm
