Need help with DWC grow

[Allen42]

Ahhhh nothing better then waking up in the morning and looking at a beautiful garden Ok got a new update today, the autos are doing well and everything looks good, just waiting for my new inline fans to arrive. Oh I did notice a bit of yellowing around a couple sets of the edges of leaves... it’s hard to notice and I really had to look hard to see it clearly but it might be the start of something, any advice as to what it might be? ... I xdid apply a nutrient spray to the plant and I think that’s what did it but maybe not let’s see what the community thinks.

I’m giving her a flush now and just added a light dose of big bud until I can diagnose properly. But other then that everything looks amazing, and they got a real nice skunk smell to them

Ehh wassup doc? ... so the update today is that I think I figured out my most recent issue, and that is that my plants are suffering from some light burn and heat stress... as well as my humidity is a bit too high and I believe that my plants leaves are having a very hard time sweating out on the underside of the leaves the way they should be.... I honestly can’t believe I didn’t realize it sooner, as it was literally looking me in the face as I blankly stared at my hygrometer and didn’t even think twice ! Lmao ... oh well, I’m a busy man and mistakes are bound to happen. Chock it up to a learning experience and apply that knowledge to all future grows.... SO anyway to treat this issue I ordered a couple cloudline t6 fans... which if the advertisement about its technology and capabilities is true, should be able to get my atmosphere to the exact parameters I want, which is going to solve a few issues... mainly I won’t need so much hydroguard to protect the hot Rez temp haha I am now also looking into a nice reverse osmosis system for my gardens water... the ppm comes out at 275ish ppm... which is wayyyy too high, atleast for me... especially since I’ve now discovered that it’s rich with chlorine and sodium... amongst other things... but that high sodium count in my water is EXACTLY why I’m having the issues I’m having. I had the same issues last grow as well and had to battle these multiple deficiencies and looks like I will be again.... the high sodium “acts” like phosphorus, potassium, calcium, iron, and maybe even zinc, not a 100% sure as writing this on the fly but i know for a fact that the sodium in my water is what’s causing all the same deficiencies to occur at weeks 4-6... up until that point everything looks healthy as can be and then one morning.. BAM! Leaf necrosis, spotting, and darkening all over a night period... this go around I was more prepared for this issue as I expected it to be the culprit of a few murders on my last grow before I properly diagnosed...
Long ass post... I’m bout to post up and smoke out. See y’all in the smokers circle ✌

Oh ya, those fans are supposed to show up today and I’m getting them in both tents immediately! They look dope as fuck so I’ll post pics and update you guys on how the system works.... I forgot to ask though, there’s so many options on reversed osmosis setups and even more mixed reviews on all of them so if Somone with some hands on experience could point me in the direction of a tried and true RO system that’d be awesome... it can be a traditional setup, however I am mainly interested in the portable RO’s as they claim to clean the water just as good if not better AND they come with a garden hose attachment so I can filter my hose water! This is the ideal setup for my situation but like I said I want tried and true and no half ass shit. If I’m gonna do something I’m gonna do it right, the same mindset should apply to my equipment so please help me find a good RO. Thanks in advance fellas!

Everything is going great! My new cloudline t6 fans showed up and were a piece of cake to install. I also added in my dehumidifier so I now have complete control over my temps, humidity, and airflow exchange rate. The girls are loving the shift in their atmosphere and I’m pretty stoked about it as well. Lol This is the first run I’ve done with the HLG rspec and the results are so outstanding that I just ordered another one for my other tent to replace my CREE COB light, which runs WAY to hot btw lol I have hard time wrapping my head around the fact that this big company’s R&D team powered this fucking light up for testing and ran it at full power, saw that it was creating an atmosphere well over 100F and put their stamp of approval on it. Haha really goes to show you that a lot of lights out there are bogus. Not that I can’t grow with it, but my god is it a pain in the ass having to create an ideal environment when you have a light that wants to grow nothing but cacti. I want my lights to work for me not against me and that’s exactly what the rspec does, I highly recommend this fixture to anyone looking into lights. Anyways... I am now waiting for my RO system to arrive so I can eliminate the issues that the real high ppm water creates... i feel like if I can make a plant thrive with this dookie water that I will really be making my life easier and grows much more efficient with some real clean RO water that doesn’t guarantee me deficiencies. Lol After the RO system and my new light arrives i figure I’ll pretty much be good to go and have both tents dialed in. The only other equipment I’m interested in is a C02 emitter and eventually I’ll set a couple of those up as I’ve read nothing but good things about them but until then I’m just gonna keep on keepin on. Hope everyone has found my thread informative, i will update again later in the flowering stage when I have some bud porn to show. Hope everyone’s doing well and their gardens the same.

U should start a grow journal

 

[Allen42]

Haha I thought that I was! Damn I just realized this is in the wrong section...

 

[Allen42]

Hey everyone, it’s been awhile since I’ve updated so just going to post a few pictures of where I’m at. Everything’s been going good and on track for the most part. I’ll update with more pictures when it’s harvest time.

Looking good Simpleman!

 

[Allen42]

Hello all! Hope everyone’s up n doing good. I got a little time on my hands this morning so I thought I’d update this non-journal. Lol My next post will be a journal in the proper section.. anywho.. not really much to update, I’m getting some cloudy trichomes do we’re getting there but I still got a ways to go I figure. These ladies had there fair share of problems as I started the grow before I was completely dialed in, starting with a new tent, new light, fans, etc so there was definitely a learning curve with the atmosphere and nutrient uptake due to ridiculously high ppm/ec tap water... I will say the biggest upgrade I made this run was installing a nice RO filter... the plants absolutely love it, but that came with a bit of a learning curve as well. With all the trials and tribulations I endured with this grow, I think it’s safe to say I got this setup dialed in perfectly now and just can’t wait to get my next round of plants going to see what my operation is really capable of... Overall, I learned so much from this grow and improved on so many aspects of my operation and that’s all I’m striving for. To learn as much as possible about all aspects of botanical sciences and do the absolute best that I can and improve every time I step into the garden. I’ve come to find that this flower is much more then just medicine I use to alleviate my ailments, it’s become something much bigger then that to me. I feel a spiritual connection to my flowers, and theres no better meditation then spending time in the garden. These plants do so much for me, I feel obligated to reciprocate to the best of my ability. I know I’m not there yet, but mark my words I’ll be cultivating with the best of em someday. Lol

I doubt anyone’s reading, but if you are thanks for taking the time to deal with my ramblings. If you have any questions just ask.

Pics taken today.

 

[Allen42]

So here’s a pic of the first plant in the drying room after taking a good amount to make butter with lol and couple more photos of the two ladies I have left to go.
One is being leached now and the other still has a lil ways to go. But will be harvesting the second lambs breath whenever i feel it’s ready based off trichome maturity. The buds smell amazing so I’m excited to try this batch out.

 

[Pennywise]

Nice looking plant, enjoy!

 

[Allen42]

Thanks Penny, your the man. I’ll be starting a journal on the next run if I can figure it out. Lol I’ll be going with purple kush and gelato in a bigger tent so I have more room to move around. As soon as the cookies in the other tent finish up, I’ll try to get it going. Might need your expertise again, I appreciate the help.

alan42, I am starting a lambs bread DWC but not auto flower. Last time i grew this strain it was in soil. I assumed it was a heavy feeder like the other sativa land strains I have done in DWC. You mentioned N intolerance at one point but not sure if that was in general or because you were shifting for flowering.

Hey everyone, I’m having an issue with one my plants and was wondering if anyone had any insight as to what this could be, I’m pretty sure this a nutrient deficiency. Let me know what you think any help is greatly appreciated.

Your right on the money, it looks like nutrient deficiency.its happened to me more than once,not a big deal.now that you caught it in these early stages.
