I reckon them plants will be fine, they look green still. A little flush will help though.

I know nothing about heating the res, seems like a waste of electrickery to me though. Mine just get a jug from room temp buckets, or straight from the cold tap if I'm making it up in the day, seems to make no difference to the plants.

Thanks Marcus. I'm just going to leave them and just see what happens. I can't get around to flush them and access the pots. Plus they are stinkers so I don't want to have the tent open for too long. Next time I'm only doing two plants ..4 is too much in a 120x150x200 tent.

I had temps drop around 10c so I thought it can't be good for roots. But I also recalled you saying your pots are on the floor never heated feed or bothered so much about it. Less is more sometimes then it's easier to dial in I suppose.

Thanks for your support mate.

Hey Momma

That's the problematic plant..there are 4 in total in the tent. She's the one in the top left with the yellowing. Others started to yellow when I dropped th3 feed too much to work out what was happening with her.. but I starved the others so they started going yellow. But hopefully I've stopped it by increasing feed again.

Thank you for your kind words..I feel that they've stopped fattening up. I'm week 6 in flower now.

So I calibrated my pens today..the pH was okay and accurate. The ec. Pen was 0.1ec higher.

Went to check the rest and it looks salt around th3 grommet and th3 r3adings were 5.9ec and 2.6ec. Which seems more accurate..but strange how the ec readings were from 1.9 to 2.6ec - either the pens on the way out or th3 nut3s are so high its messing with the mix. The effect3d plant has clearly got worse and the other partially effevt3d one was a bit yellower too. So I'm going to take that as the nutes locking each other out.

I'm going to empty the res and go to 2ml/litre and 0.5l/litre PK13/14 sop hopefully that should bring things back to normal.

Day 81

Reset feed

2ml/l a and b /40ml a and 40ml b in 20l bucket
0.5ml/l pl13/14 / 10ml
Ph 6.0
Ec 1.3

Looking back at previous readings prior to pk13/14 introduction ec would be at 1.6. I think someone said adding pk13/14 lowers ec?

I'm glad I cleaned out the res...it was grimey due to salt build ups i belive. What I think also didn't help is the water heater. The ec was going up over th3 last few days and it seems to evaporate water so hence the reading is higher. I've taken both circulator and heater out. Looking back at my log I had less issues without them

Lessons learned.

Also at least my next run I know not to go over 2ml/l thanks to the gr420 family.

Let's see how these baby's roll on now.

That plant might be struggling int he back corner but the bud sites are looking bigger at this stage?

No owt with N.P.K in raises ec but N is the daddy and raises it much more or faster than P & K. Basically any feed with macro and micro nutrients in will raise ec but as said from my faffing around those 3 raise it much more than rest, maybe its cus theirs more N.P.K in your base ferts than other nutrients, feck knows tbh.

Plants are budding up really nice as well Wu.
