Oh my days checked on the girls today and they are out of control, girls gone wild. Image

The snapped stem has healed nicely though, it’s rock solid now.

Nothing more to mention really, ec is 1.2 and just showing burns on the tips of some leafs, that is mainly where the water level drops in the tanks and the nutrient solution gets more concentrated, next time round with the float valves in and all tanks topped off from a header tank it shouldn’t be a problem.
Ph is being set at 5.5- 5.8 and rising up to 6- 6.2 before I make changes depending on how busy things are at the time, you know how life tends to get in the way of these things.
Not sure how many weeks along they are but got a fair way to go yet, should hopefully have a nice smoke for Christmas at this rate

Hey,
Over the last week I've been observing some oddities happening, I think its P/K toxicity, first of all I thought it was where the water level drops cos I don't have the header tank plummed in, now I'm beginning to think its just these nutes are a lot stronger than I gave them credit for.
Kept the measurement the same for bloom nutes as I was using for veg which gave me an ec of 1.2 which is pretty much perfect and was actually half the amount it said to use on the bottle.
over the last few days they've been feeding and the ec is now 1 - 1.1 depending on what tank I probe, I have also been overfilling the tanks with water as well to dilute the nutrient solution which seems to be helping.
It's funny cos ive used the same nutes with the same tanks before and not had this problem but that was with two tanks each with two plants in, this time round its 4 tanks and 1 plant each tank.
before I was pouring nutes in, this time I put nutes in once for veg and so far only once for flower. it's been a totally different experience so far.
can't wait to get them plummed up properly and topped off from the header next time round, will make life much easier.
For now ill just keep the water going in and hold off putting any nutes in there, Should mention I started boosting as well, I think it was 5ml canna boost per tank or something like that, normally I'd use more but I'm brassic so got to ration what little bit is left, got enough for one more shot of boost each.

oh well, got to expect some problems after all that time off, I feel a little rusty and technology and information has changed so much since ive been gone, anyways I'm done rambling, here's the photos I came on here to show.
till next time

My mind is made up, I’m sure it started off as p/k toxicity and has developed into calmag issues
The narrow leafs with slightly burnt tips, some of the newer leafs near the top have only developed 3 blades.

This next leaf definitely looks like calmag and manganese deficiency to me

Hey
It’s been a couple of years since I grew anything and the price of weed has been getting me down so decided it’s time to put the tent up.
Members of the old forum who seen my diary’s may remember I used to do all my growing in a wardrobe and a small tent in the loft with cuttings and a mother.
Things changed and I got more space and moved into a 1.2m x 1.2m tent.
The tent was looking a bit shabby when I put it up again so went for an upgrade and got a 3 in 1 tent so now got somewhere to flower and somewhere to keep a mother and cuttings also a section for drying so should be able to keep a constant flow going eventually.

For now though I’m trying to use some seeds up so got 4x cheese autos going at the moment in nft tanks, after these got another round of autos and grow a mum at the same time.
Due to the age of these seeds they took a while to get started, they are between 5-6 years old and havent been kept in the fridge. they have also started flowering a lot sooner than I would have liked, they aren’t going to be as big as I had before with these seeds but that’s ok, it uses them up.
If I can figure out how to put some photos on here I’ll do that.
Thanks
A bit of cheese 😁

Got to love the cheese, we had some blue cheese years ago it was some of the best weed I’ve ever smoked, trouble is stuff that foods never round for long.

Yeah I reckon, I dropped some calmag in earlier at 1ml per L if they haven’t picked up by the weekend I’ll drain the tanks and start again

One other thing I’m doing different at the moment is not bubbling off the water before it goes in to the tanks. Usually the header tank has an air stone in and any chlorine has most likely bubbled off before it’s reached the tanks, this time round I’m filling up 4x 2L milk bottles with a measure of ph down and pouring straight into the tank.
Hopefully next time round things should be a bit more plain sailing

I don't know that much about this style of growing :-/

Hope you sort things out. It is the chloramines and trichlorides these days that are worse, they don't evaporate off.

Is it me or does this look more like Nitrogen Abundance.......? and the discolouring maybe more a virus from being compromised by too much N....?

Only a thought........

Possibly, although I wasn’t heavy with the veg nutes either, used half of what it said on the bottle.
Like you say though could be due to too much nitrogen perhaps, as far as I know this has all happened since I switched to bloom nutes but there’s a very good possibility I just didn’t notice it before until now
