Re: StiX' Test Grow
yeah...i'd say it's nute burn...your nute PPM is at 850...and they're still really young. There are some plants that are strong enough from seed to survive the nute strength...like the one you have. I think mine are short because I ran full nutes the first week I popped them in the rockwool. Then i dropped it down to half strength...cuz i realized this is prolly how i turned out with MiniWeed to begin with. It's really best not to use ANY nutes until after a few weeks to a month of vegging...from what i've read. Right now my plants are 32 days old, and i'm running on half nutes... so I'm at like 590 PPM right now. I just started flowering yesterday...so after a week or two into flowering i'll bring my nutes up to full strength...and then back down to NO nutes for the last 2 weeks of flowering so i can flush them out...
Also since they seem to be getting more exposure to water & nutes...i think i read earlier...8 hours total a day. mine only get 3 hours a day...but i'm running ebb & flow...so i don't know what the recommendation is for the rainforest. Typically from what i've read...either the following 2 schedules work best. Either 3 times a day for 1 hour....or 10-15 minutes every hour and a half to two hours. this allows the roots to get saturated...and then when the water is released..they get oxygen the whole length of the root.
prolly doesn't matter though...because other methods just leave the roots constantly soaking in moving water...who knows...but that's my two cents.
