[pcduck]

Hey Andy that tractor supply store should have them. They are used on horses And I am glad that I could be of help to you.

just read through your entire journal pcduck. very nice job man. i just started a clone for a trial run in dwc. i'm not getting the growth i'd like, or have seen in others journals. today is 12 days for my clone, and it is only 4-5 inches tall. hmm, must be doing something wrong. oh well, i guess it's not for everyone. nice job again...bb...

 

[pcduck]

Thanks for stopping by banjobuzz I think that once you see the roots of your clone hit the reservoir you will see a major increase in growth. And if I can do this anybody can.

 

[andy52]

banjobuzz,be patient bro.the plants will take off after they get a good root system.you will be hoping they slow down,lol are you changing your res out?i change mine every 7 days whether they need it or not.

 

[pcduck]

Changed my reservoirs out today.
Seems like the three little squirts are slow growing.
When the lights come on at 10:00pm it will be 7 seven days at 12/12.

On a side note What happened to my similies and fonts and different colors?
Mine are missing, are anybody else also gone? I see members still using them.

Are the roots touching the water, and do you have good aeration? I ask only because I myself made both mistakes on my first run.

No my smilies are not back I must have pushed a wrong button

One of my squirts are sick
The roots are blah looking, the leaves are curling under, the whole shabang.
If not looking better before lights out, I will probably change out the reservoir. This is the same one that keeps fluctuating on the ph. Up and down and I do not know why?

Here are the squirts and the last 2 is the sick one

 

[UKgirl420]

wish i could help diagnose duck ,,,but im learning from you

sure andy will be along soon :48:

ohh and the squirts look cute :baby:

 

[pcduck]

Thanks UKgirl420

I figure I will do some more reading to find out what is up and maybe by then Andy52 will be around also. He is usually on in the mornings here.

 

[BuddyLuv]

Are you using any beneficials?

 

[parkingjoe]

hi pc did you throughly wash/rinse the clay pebbles before you used them as they do cause ph and cf drifts constantly imho

pkj

 

[andy52]

hey bro.whats going on with the plants?looks like a ph issue to me.are you using distilled or ro water.i had problems before when i used tap water.i will not be on here much anymore as i had to pull my grow.until i move i will not be grwoing anymore for some time.luckily i have enough smoke to last a good while.
when i change my buckets out,i let them sit after i adjust the ph.wait a couple hrs and the re-check the ph.sometimes it will have to be adjusted again.usually when i get the plants to a high level of nutes,i do not have to adjust the ph.the nutes bring it down within range.

 

[pcduck]

Thanks for the help everybody

BuddyLove No I don't use any beneficials, just the GH 3 Part.

ParkingJoe During the initial set up I washed all the clay pebbles in ph adjusted water. Out of 6 buckets this is the only one showing any signs of duress?

I guess that I will just change out the reservoir and see if that helps

 

[pcduck]

Hi Andy Yes that is my thoughts also on the ph, but I don't know why? the other 5 buckets looks great. My water I haul from town.Then it sits in my cistern. When ready to use for my buckets I put some fish conditioner That is suppose to take out all the bad stuff. It gets areated till ready for the nutes. Then nutes are added and ph adjusted and back to getting aerated for a day. After a day of that the ph gets rechecked before being changed out. Thats how I do my water.
I have already done that, so I think that I will just change out the bucket tonight when my lights come on.
Thanks for all your help Andy. I hope that when you get moved into your new place that you will return to MariP. and your grow friends. We will miss you and all your knowledge while you are away Take care my friend

 

[UKgirl420]

sorry to hear that Andy,,,hope all goes well in your new place :48:

 

[pcduck]

Well I changed out my bucket with all new. I checked the ph and all is good.

Will see if any improvement in the morning. Leaves were still curled under and down. Even in this terrible picture you can see the curled leaves.

 

[pcduck]

Charlie and Toni are chugging about a gallon of water every 48 hrs.Both are looking good.

Jessie is hard to recognize this plant. Grown so much, looking good also

#3&#2 Mighty small but not a whole lot of stretch,yet :aok: #2 & #3 did not get much veg time.

#1 or the sick one is still looking sick I think it is just a bum seed/plant. Curling of leaves still present-like a cigar- and also a rust?color looking something on the leaves. Roots are dark in color.

 

[parkingjoe]

no too bad pc just see how it goes man.


ps youre ph checking and nute additions are spot on how i do it too.

[pcduck]

Yea PKJ I figure I will just let it go and see if it pulls through.
Sometimes I think beans sprout like that just to mess with us.
