BooMs AutoPot Grow Journal

[BooMtoLate]

Plugging away, started off slow but everyday seeing good growth. Bumped up my mega crop dose. 2 grams per 4L of water. Also using sweet candy and cal mag and kelp. I've lost track of what the plants are. I think I have a cheese, Mazar x Great white, Alaskan purple and an AK choco kush

Code Red situation happening, so early yesterday I filled the res and hooked up autopots. I take a look today and this is happening to 1 of my plants. Do you think it's underwatered? Others seem ok. The light was about 25 inches from plant so I raised it a couple inches and gave the plant some water and nutes. What do you guys think? Maybe the roots aren't bigger enough to wick up water from bottom of pot.

3hr later....she seems to be responding to being watered. Not so depressed looking. I shall continue watering by hand.

Are you in coco?

 

[BooMtoLate]

Yes Sir coco

 

[Backlipslide]

Is it straight coco, or mixed with an amendment? Don’t be afraid to give her a good feeding when they’re ready. It’s nearly impossible to over water coco.

One of my plants died, others really don't look so hot. Only thing I'm doing different is the nutes. Kinda annoyed, I have a buddy with clones and I'll grab one off him to fill my empty bucket.

Top right hand plant couple Leafs are yellowing starting at the tips and kinda have a claw thing happening....bottom right has minor yellowing on a leaf or 2 but Leafs look funky kinda mis shaped. The top left plant is the only one Lovin life.

What is your MC per gallon? Also what is your PH?

 

[BooMtoLate]

It's a 40 L res and I'm mixing 42.3 grams into that. Plus calcium, kelp and bud candy. pH is around 5.9-6.0.

 

[Hydroholic]

4.2 seems high for little plants on the MC. Are you using Bud Candy or Sweet Candy? Both are carbs for flowering. I would back off the extras and try and get it right with the MC first. Your plants I would be around 3gm-4 liters.

 

[BooMtoLate]

Sorry it's sweet candy, I was following the calculations on mega crop. You think my mega crop is too strong right now.

 

[BooMtoLate]

Ok I'll just use mega crop and dial it down

I just got to 4.5 grams and I am in flower. There are 4 different strains in my tent 3 Sativa and 2 indica. All running the same. Jumping .5 grams per watering is nonsense and that thinking should die. I found it’s easier to get lock out than under feeding. I included one of my watering sheets to show that being patient with Mega Crop is better than trying to force it. I am 20 plants in running mega crop and just now really dialing it in. Are you using RO water?

 

[BooMtoLate]

Yes using RO water

 

[BooMtoLate]

Wouldn't have have nute burn if I'm using to much?

 

[Hydroholic]

Wouldn't have have nute burn if I'm using to much?

Not necessarily. You are using higher than needed P-K at this point. The plant needs more N at this point and you are starving it out because the P-K is high. You may end up needing the extra cal/mag-Protekt like others are using being in Coco. I would pack the other stuff up until you get past at least 1 full grow, A few plants.
