hi to all u stoners
first time grower with yet more problems looking for expert help with honest definate answers.
set up:
2 x rdwc 20 ltr grow buckets ( black )
1 x 20 ltr rdwc res with water pump ( black )
airstones in each bucket and seperate air pumps per bucket
1.2 x 1.2 tent
greenhouse seed company all in one dry powder nutes
third week into flower 12/12
just started adding quarter ml per ltr buddas tree
tent temp 85 to 89
res temp 65 to 75
ph 6
im in rockwool blocks with clay balls for support in my net pots.
roots look ok but very slightly brown but was told that the nutes could be staining them as nutes are brown when mixed in.
got slight slime touch to the water and air lines in the bucket.
i am also running half ml per ltr dutch master zone ( maybe not strong enough)
1 x 600w mh bulb 1 x 250w son t pro bulb
1 x 5" extract inline fan
1 x 4" air inlet fan
2 x circulating fan
any way i have got these white flakes in my res they look like the scale u get in your kettle but when i get one between my fingers it just disintegrates witout a trace. if you disturb the res water they float about then settle back on the bottom.
i am in my third week of flower and just gone up to full strength nutes a week ago but getting nute burn so i have dropped them to half with the buddas tree.
this appeared about two weeks ago and just seems to be more flakes every day.
i changed my nutes last night getting most of the flakes out but 24 hrs later they are back.
the other thing i have noticed is my ph dropping slowly throughout the week approx 5.8 to 5.3 in seven days
please help asap
kind regards
