VetSmoke Going Coco With The ViparSpectra XS2000

[Greenvein]

Sorry to hear this bro hopefully you can pull it back only thing I can think of is because starting off with organic matter and it coming bad?? I know I've done this before but with drain to waste we basically flush on a regular so the organic matter disappeared but with bottom feed it would just sit their the whole grow?

Plenty of life left in them vet..
You'll be alreet our kid..now you've caught it.

Seems the most logical explanation. I think if I run coco in these pots again I'll go sterile from the off. Perhaps top water for a couple more weeks before switching on the system too. Let the plant get more established so water isn't sitting as long in the pots.

Thanks bud. I really hope so.

This reminded me of home.

No way of switching it up and using the pot system as drainage and top feed with a pump on a new run.
I have done this with a wilma system as i had no luck with recirculating systems.
But im sure your get it dialed in mate if you give yourself the time

Yeah that could be done I'm sure. Just drain the trays out after feeding. I do want to take the time to dial it in but also need some half decent harvests too. Wish I could run another tent.

I'm checking the res pH twice a day usually. Minimum once. Keeping it 5.8-6.0. I've even been testing the pH of the feed sat in the Autopot trays.

Oh good, thanks!

Think I found the "root" cause of the problem. I flushed the Blue Cheese tonight and after running water through for a minute I got a proper stink of rotten eggs.

Oof, but good think you've sorted that out.

What Lister said!

When vet lol I think you ment when you run in Coco again

Yeah mate, after a rough start she's loving life. I'm hoping my last WWxNL seed pops on the next grow and I can veg her a bit longer.

 

[VetSmoke85]

you've sorted that out

I won't say that until they stop deteriorating. Fingers crossed.

Comparison of the Blue Cheese & Mac N Cheese pom-poms. The Blue Cheese has monster pistils but very little trichome development. The Mac N Cheese pistils are a little smaller but she is frosting up more already. I don't know if that means anything but just a observation tonight.

Job done then..
I'm back up and down to Manchester again, so I've been practicing...
They'll never know I'm a soft southern s#!te.

Hey Vet

As my granny used to say “it’s all fun and games till your root smells like rotten eggs”.

All you can do now is wash her up and spray her with Glen20.

 

[VetSmoke85]

I reckon they might be toast. Getting worse every day. Pulling everything from the fans to keep the buds alive.

Sorry to see this bro at least the pots are covered to stop any airborne spread. For the white lights. What you thinking? You got more autos?

That growth is looking a bit challenging, I hope there is still some change that can be done to help. Whenever I screw up mine. I feel the roots get quite compromised and are hard to recover.

Thinking I'll try to squeeze in my 40x40 tent and fire up a few photos in soil.

I'll try to flush them both again with H2O2 over the next couple of nights. Pray to the canna gods. The flowers on the Mac N Cheese are looking okay still, but it seems they're still pulling everything out of the fans so I guess the roots aren't taking much up.

It's super disappointing but I'm trying not to get too down about it. Live and learn.

I'm crap on identifying nutrient issues but @ReservoirDog posted this link on Cannabis leaf symptoms over on the SIP thread. I like that it shows real photos and not hard to tell coloured drawings.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Well I've rearranged things in the cupboard slightly and managed to squeeze the 40x40cm tent in. Just got to get a light & USB fan in. I think I'll just attach one of the other tents intakes into it for air exchange. Will have to see how that effects the environment in the bigger tent though. Isn't much space to move around now.

Sorry your girls took a turn for the worse, Vet..
Do you figure it's the roots causing it?

I think it must be. Would make sense with the adjustments in pH and feed making zero difference.
