Waxy looking plant: what is causing this? Would love some input

[Jame9111]

I'm feeding them basically whenever they get light and every time I give them a fresh water drink it looks like it hurts them. Lol so I haven't been lately

But I also did a quick runoff test on the purple poison yesterday just a month or two old soon to be mom. Her ppms were hitting 1800 and a pH of 5.5 . So I threw her in the bathtub and drowned her out a little bit with just straight tap water got her down to 700 ppms and a pH at 5.9. so imagine the rest of the plants are heavy as well considering we all look the same give or take a bit

I think turning up the light actually worked a lot I threw 1,000 watt mars Hydro on top of the 600 w metal highlight they all seem to be enjoying it anyways.

I don't think Mars Hydro has ever actually sold a 1,000-watt grow light. Seems like I recall one that was somewhere in the neighborhood of 760 watts, several years ago. Regardless, if you're running a 1,000-watt LED and a 600-watt HID, you're probably at or above 92% load on a 15-amp residential circuit when both are operating - and spiking above that during the HID startup.

1000 w LED and a 600mh

1000 w LED and a 600mh

I doubt it's a thousand real Watts but it's still a thousand watt LED from Mars Hydro

I have 3 tents in one room have a Mars Hydro 2000 TSW and 1,000 w high pressure sodium in the big ten with the AC. And fans and carbon filters and then in the 5x5 tent a 600 watt metal highlight and 1,000 watt TS Mars Hydro LED light no carbon filter only 6 in fan what you think that's a lot of push for one room been doing it for 5 years lol

i'd check the lower fans for pm. it could just be the photo. if you have white on the big leaves i'd try correct it.

No there's no pm

 

[Jame9111]

No there's no pm

If you're talking about the picture I'm thinking you are that's just rooting powder

No that's just the weed I see what you're talking about that's just Frost

 

[Jame9111]

The plant always has lots of Terps

Your in promix right.
You have to keep it we.
Water every day.
Feed,water, feed, water is your schedule.
At 5.8 pH if you have a pen.
Don't let it dry, it's hydrophobic.



Stay safe
Bill

 

[Jame9111]

Here they are today and damn I've been phing at 6.3 sometimes 6.2 I've always heard 6.2 is The Sweet Spot sometimes 6.3 because it eventually breaks down which lowers the pH? Not 100% sure if that's true but that's what I've been doing forever but I've always come across red stems and certain deficiencies I'm going to try your 5.8 is that all the way through veg to flower?

 

[Jame9111]

This is off the feed chart you suggest it to general hydroponics well I think it was you and I'm lowering my pH to 5.8 at a PPM of 600 I'm wondering if I could be just over watering? Cuz I've noticed beautiful color in the perkiness comes back soon as it dries out

You're right, you have been overwatering frequency wise. How much liquid each time? What size pots? Make sure you fully saturate the pot and then let it dry out before watering again.

I've been checking the runoffs lately so until it runs out the bottom and the ones were mainly talking about the size of the pots are 8 and 12 gallon

 

[Skunksta]

peat moss not sim to coco?
Keep moist?

I gave three of them a medium feed at 5.8 pH this time and they look fairly happy I think I was overdoing the feeding as well as over watering them because I was confused

 

[Skunksta]

Got to be honest i would be happy if they were my ladies.
Think you have been given great advice from the guru's in MY opinion.
Not much to worry about my friend

 

[Jame9111]

I don't know the growth is growing quicker but my stocks are going red I don't know if I like that or not I'm going to let this dry out I don't know if they are liking the pH at 5.8
