Now i only lst the 3rd node removed some fan leaves now i think i need to let it grow out some more so that ik able to wrap a string around it and fold it over correct? Right now 4th node is barely 2inches long the 3rd more like 4 or 5. And othet then the leaves curling seems to be doing fine, always been told thats bc of heat i have an intake and exhaust and a fan it never gets above 80 i think i have alarm set on 81 the intake kicks fan to lvl 10. Also have fan on in room and ac is never below above 74 degrees

What does the ph look like ! When was the last reservoir change? Have you added any calmag?
Mix up a new batch of nutrients ph to 5.8-6.2 feed at half strength. See if she snaps out of it.

Ok well @West Hippie i change rez once a week ph usually 5.6-6.1 ive been told diff things it absorbs nutes at diff ph to let it go across that spectrum or should i stick just with 5.8-6.2

I don’t like low ph numbers in hydro, does your ph drop or rise over the course of a week?

For the most part when ive checked it was eating and ph went up but ive been slacking on watching TDS as well as ph and ill adjust to get in right window of 5.8 in the morning
TDS is totally dissolved solids it’s very similar to ppm. Veg I rarely go over 300-400 ppm. Flower I run 600-700ppm.

Well then im running too high so possible nute lock doesnt look like a burn yea pm tds reads ppm or ec and temp so used run 750 850 with tape water but 2-300 of itbwas the tap water so tomorrow ill get my hydro guard and if i havetime time to get water ill do a few water changes and changes the rest Saturday. Ill switch to spring water and cut my nutes down more then half to get at 3-400 and 5.8 thanks @Pennywise

@Pennywise u use a ro system?
I use tap water, I didn’t care for RO because of deficiencies.

@Pennywise well also depends were your at like NY has some of the best tap water in USA. So i liked the tap water too but the ppm is never consistent so if but after sittiting around 48 hrs it normally drops from like 320 280 to like 220 180, but if u day u keep ur nutes at 3-400ppm u must do nutes at like 1/8 strenth to get right around 3-400 with tap water bc i can get 3-400 using distilled about half strength full gets it to like 580-600. Far as nutes am i doin to much? I do superthrive, base micros, root stimulator, cal-mag, and my grow nute for veg, tomorrow ill have hydro guard to add as well.
I wished I could use tap water , 400 ppm with a ph of 8.3 before running through the ro system. The ph stays crazy up and down and all around. It was a battle! If your tap water is less than 300 ppm it’s worth a try , I didn’t kill anything but had to go back to ro water before I did .
I do super thrive once every week or 2. My nutes are usually Foliage Pro and Protekt then I’ll add calcium in flower.

So once every 2 weeks one ever other feeding with the superthrive? Guessing the other is ur grow nute and last is your root protector correct? @West Hippie ya i only used tap water last grow over 6 months ago i had one plant and for my 1st i was happy 4.5 dry super frosty and sticky, and i had to cut a 2 or 3 weeks early for some personal reasons so didnt get to flush but flavor wasnt very harsh. But ya my tap water is under 300ppm witha ph in the 7s. @Pennywise with the tap water before uve let it dechlorinated whats ur ppm and ph? I think ill switch back to tap and but with it at 180 penny u still think i should only bring it up to 3-400ppm or dont count what the water has alrdy? Should i cut out calmag during veg?
