BudtenderAlex: RDWC, Blue Dream

@Pennywise @Cannabomb62
Here is some pictures! Let me know your thoughts. Should I top now? Also some of the leaves are getting a little damage and i cant find a chart to reference what I'm seeing. Have you all experienced anything like this? My PPMs are arround 400. Water temp stays around 70. Running the flora series, hydroguard, and calimag. Appreciate you guys!

I know this is kind of a made fun of answer but that looks like the start of some calcium or magnesium deficiency or both. How much calmag you feed it? I would use ph of 5.7 for hydro its what i run in veg for coco and the plants thrive so just a thought.

I'm changing the res today as I do this weekly. Usually takes 13 gallons. I use 13 ML of Calmag 130 ML of flora bloom, micro, and grow. Then 26 ML of hydroguard. Should I be adding nutrients during the week as well? The only thing I've been doing is occasionally adding a little PH down to keep PH in check.

What’s your PPMs looking like through out the week?
 
Well just changed the res and I'm following the directions on the flora series and now my PPMs are approx 1500. I followed the aggressive veg state 3-2-1. Should I reflush and stick with the 1-1-1? @JamesBong502 @Cannabomb62 @Pennywise

Dump 1/2-3/4 and fill with fresh water then balance pH at the very least.

or start over that’s a budget decision. You’re using tap water correct?
 
I'm in process of a complete res change budget isn't an issue as my house is fully equipped with an RO system. My initial water has 6 PPM and 5.5 PH
Then I would keep it light until you get some harvest under your belt. Not a jab, that’s honest advice. We’ve all tried to force feed a plant to “speed it up”.
Some love to tell the tales, some do not.
Have fun with it, experiment, and learn but ERR side of caution.

Almost 2 weeks into Veg. After the flush and a little hair cut they are starting to look beautiful. I found out I was overdoing it on the hydroguard and that was causing my leaf problems I think. Tonights goal is to add hooks into the lids and start some LST! One plant is exploding with growth and branches.

I do want to take clones before I transition to flower. When would be the best time to take clones? And would I take these from my bottom branches that don't get to much light? The one plant is exploding with branches.

After Some LST on the big plant. The small one I've been pushing down a few times a day and it seems to not need ties yet. Let me know your thoughts and feedback. Once my tops get longer on the big one ima tie them and then top one more time at the 3rd node out... then ima transition to flower a week after and then let them do their thing. I think I may veg till end of January since I have alot of space in my tent.

Question: Since I don't have alot of space in the back if I top my main step coming forward twice so it has 8 colas but only leave 4 in the back will that lead to problems? Hop this makes sense if not I can draw a diagram.

I'm excited finally think I got things down! :volcano-smiley:

Hello again, @Pennywise @JamesBong502 @Cannabomb62

Here is the latest pictures. I did trim a few of the leaves as they are looking a little dingy. Do you know what could cause this. My PH is 5.7, I'm using cali-mag and flora series with hydroguard for beneficial bacteria. I know it's not the roots cause they look beautiful. It seems to be affecting my smaller plant more than the bigger one. Do you think this could be nutrient burn? The leaf literally crumbles if you squeeze them in the brown spots. My PPMs are only 650 ish currently. My humidity stays right around 30%. I'm just confused because its RDWC and only 1 plant is getting the brunt of it all.

Should I res change and add 1/4 strength nutrients or let it be and see what happens? The small one just hasn't grown much.

Thank you in advance!

Also if you look at the smaller plant and zoom in you can see the tips are burnt on new growth. I didnt wanna trim all the bad as there is still good leaf left as well.
