Hi, I am a new member. My first time attempting to post here with questions I desperately and urgently need answers, please help me. Tia.
BACKGROUND INFO:
I have around 10yrs experience at growing indoors but this was 5 years ago last time I grew before this new attempt with Coco which I've never used before. Normally would use expanded clay. I am self taught with knowledge acquired from reading plus trial and error.
I am 31days into flowering cycle after 26 days of grow cycle. First time using Coco. Run to waste system.
25litre pots. Pot inside pot. 2 X 600w HPS lights running 12 on and 12 off. Has not been any interruption of night cycle. Good ventilation. Max temp- 25.4 deg Celcius min temp- 21.4 Max humidity-57-RH. Min humidity- 44 rh. Ph- 5.8 to 6.0. using tap water unfortunately with EC of 0.6 and current EC in reservoir is a total reading of 2.5 after adding bloom nutrients plus pk additives and root stimulator. I'm hand watering as I have had heaps of trouble getting correct watering using pump and timer. I flush every 7 days with 2litres of tap water pH adjusted to 5.8. there is 4
plants trained around 2 nets. Strain is white rhino and yes, all 4 plants are same strain. Grown from clones that I got from elsewhere. Tent is 2mx2mx 2m high. Only using half the tent this grow so 2 square metres of plants.
PROBLEMS:
3 days ago I noticed that a few tips of buds were stretching up dramatically compared to other heads that look great, nice and compact, covering the stem area from vision. Over last 3 days a lot more heads have shooted upwards looking leggy and exposing the stem growth between internodes. Last night I noticed some leaf curl also going on with the stretching heads. Leaves effected are curling upwards along edges of some shadies below tip. And other leaves effected are the new growth- single fingers leaves on leggy heads, leaves are curling downward at the ends or tips of leaves. Also noticed some older shade leaves have a dark red to purple coloured Stem. I have moved the lights up much higher yesterday after seeing leaf curl and flushed more than I usually would at same time. I will attempt to include photographs for assistance in diagnosing. Thankyou for your assistance my fellow grow friends.
