I let my ph fluctuate between 5.8 and 6.4 in coco or hempy. They pic up different nutes at different levels like blue says.

Hey all , another update. I checked on my plant today and all the leaves seem fairly droopy. See the pic below. Could this be phosphorus deficiency?

I can’t say anything about it I never used it.

But what I do see is the leaves are full of water, it is either deficient in calcium, or too much potassium, or magnesium. When you have to much potassium, it locks out the uptake of the other ion channels. So if your giving it too much Mag it will lock out the calcium, and vice versa. The brown spot is calcium indicative. Too much or too little or too much potassium if you can add up all your NpK you have been giving it and see. Plus all cal/mag or any other nutes. The thing is being sprayed to much stop spraying it. It close to a humidifier. The water mist could be misting it. I get a lot of I don’t know what Im talking about because people are stuck in the traditional grow methods.

Hey Sparky thanks for the response , I'll take a photo of the whole setup in about 16 hours. But no it isn't near a humidifier. I do have a heater in the grow tent but I have it on a controller and it never runs for more than 6 minutes an hour (only at night when the temp drops). I'm not spraying the plant at all with anything. And the nutes are at 1/8 recommended dose (Micro)

Think Len is making perfect sense. Seems overwatered for sure, Rock wool sucks . If you got roots plant in a different medium like hydroton . Still not enough air to the roots.

In veg they need more N so would go easy on the p and K

I would say from what I read in this thread and forum that I transplanted too early. And my water levels initially were too high. Is there coming back from a plant being over watered?

Just go easy on any nutes till they perk up.

You could let them dry out. The roots. Lower the water level til the leaves wilt from not enough moisture.

Actually another point about rock wool and what I've read was that your plant couldn't be over watered if using rock wool (perhaps that's misinformation)?

The water level is well below the net now (2-3 inches) so the rock wool isn't even making contact with water at all anymore.

Make the roots grow towards the water.

Seen hydro guys say eff rockwool on here alot. They never go back to it.

You can totally overwater in rockwool. I like coco or perlite because it holds oxygen. In straight hyrdro like you i would go hydroton.

@Pennywise ? Less the clown says better. Hydro ain't my thing . Yet
