[loolagigi]

looks 100 from here.1 thing.Looks like you folar fed,y?Very tricky!Light/water/nutes=poss.funeral
Check out my Boysenberry+ grow.I took some pics of how to reconize when to bump the nutes up.If you notice it looks like they lacking zinc,sulfer,nitrogen.If I did not know the PH,thats where 1 would assume the problem lies.My ph is 5.5-5.72,not a problem there.This is tellin me Bump em up!!

acually i just sprayed with phed water/r/o. camaro, yeah its ganna be gun metal greay, metalic. window had name and numbers on it, its covered up. ill check out the girlsenberry.

dirty, lets say i pour water from my r/o and its 150 ppm before i add any nutes. lets say i need 400 ppm for my plants. do i still keep my pen at 400, or 550?

 

[DirtySouth]

Can't count out the 150 your filters not filtering.If 400 is your goal then add 250 of nutes.Your ph up/down should do minimal ppm adjusting.

so the ppm in my water needs to be part of my total ppm. plants look droopy, i will dip tonight.

 

[DirtySouth]

Got a question 4 ya, what are yor temps. lookin like? How close r your lights?

 

[DirtySouth]

so the ppm in my water needs to be part of my total ppm. Its how I do it.People most likely differ here?I think if you do it the other way(initial ppm 150 + target ppm 400 = 550)and it works,stay with it.JMHO.If you try to keep it consistant,then its a lil easier to fix it.
Hows the girls doing,droopin?Any sign of burn or stress?

drooping a little, but its been 3 days since last dip, which 3 days has been the norm for feeding so far. heres pics before feeding tonight. and then we can compare pics tommorow after YOU tell me whats best in your eyes......

 

[loolagigi]

i used to be able to get my plants to dry out in soil, and they would droop, then i would feed, and they would reach for the sky. was hoping for that in this grow too.

 

[loolagigi]

"is there any dirty out there" Floyd

 

[loolagigi]

dirty or no dirty, 375 ppm at 5.7 ph gatta hit the hay, we shall see tommorow.

 

[DirtySouth]

My bad,went to Santa Monica beach.We gotta party to!Dirty water,nice view!

 

[DirtySouth]

I think you should dip every other day,as of now.Lil diffrent then soil.Kinda stunts the dro when the leaves hang to low.If you ever come to see your gals and their droopin real real bad,like maby ding,NO NUTES>U WILL BURN.Ph water only.Not the droopy ur lookin 4 b 4 watering.A sick lookin droop.
375 5.7 is doing you justice,keep it up!
Height is a restriction,correct.Time to top.I like toppin,let me know what u think!Top once now and take 2 clones in bout 2 weeks!

every other day? your the boss. should i add nutes every other day too? yeah, i have height restriction to a point. and i also have been reading about topping and fming. crazy minds think alike. if i see them drooping really bad i will post pics. i dont want to make moron mistakes. i know its not rocket science, but i also know how easy it is to fkup healthy plants. yeah, 375....last night, they look like the leaves got bigger from this morning till getting home from work. thanks for the support.

You now know somebody down south,anytime.Brother

 

[DirtySouth]

should i add nutes every other day too? Brother B-4 every dipping,alwayz attend to the res.Its a beautiful thing.Every time you dip,you flush out the oldnutes into the new mixter(thus no build up making the nute level in the medium-rockwool& hydroton-higher than the water we're feeding.NUTE LOCKOUT.Ph lock out is diffrent,plant cant absorb nutes because ph outta wack.The nutes r there but the range is to far outta WACK.Kinda like a scubba diver w/ full air but no airline.NO WAY TO TRAVEL WHERE NEEDED),while absorbing the "good stuff".This is a problem w/ newby dwc.Gotta keep water ppm/ph consistant.Less water means higher nute consitration,no tellin what its doing to the ph.

 

[DirtySouth]

First top the new growth @ top.get tweezers-hand sanitizer,clean,slight heat(B CAREFUL_FLAMABLE).Open up the new growth w 1 hand.W tweezers in other pinch off new growth.Finished.Let me know how it was!

 

[DirtySouth]

Brother I can hook you up with the names of some great reffrense books 4 ya.
Marijuana garden saver.J.C Stritch edit by Ed Rosenthal.And the Grow Bible Jeorge Cerv... dont wanna massacure the name to much,u know the guy.Will P.M. you good links when not so "relaxed"

so in a nut shell, your saying add nutes every dip. i just need the correct nutes and ph.? thats what i got from your response. btw, is there a lot of jobs where your at? i am a welder by trade if that helps.
