is it just the fan leaves or all?
did you change there diet any?
light changes?
how far into flower?
Click to expand...

Pretty much all the leaves! Started with one plant now the rest.

No change in diet. PH about 5.5 to 5.8.
PPM about 2200 - 2500.

About 9 weeks into flower.

Would plugged misters do it? I can't get at them. But if I pull up the plant I can feel moisture.

HELP!

Do you have a little pressure gauge on your regulator?

Look at the pressure gauge dial on your regulator. When it is all the way down your tank is empty.

You can also watch the dial and estimate when you will need a refill.

The fact is without some way of testing the CO2 PPM all you are doing is guessing.

A CO2 syringe is a cheap way to dial in your room. It took me 6 cartridges to get my room dialed in but I could of used 10. Those little tubes are expensive though!

Your really can't beat a controller though. You would be surprised how much the number on the CO2 monitor changes.

With my controller I can set my regulator to 10 and fill my room up with CO2 very fast. The controller can handle it no problem because it's sampling the air a few times a second.

When you unplug the sensor you have to wait 20min. for it to recalibrate itself. I move it by the window, near fresh air when I calibrate it.

One time I forgot about it and my lights and CO2 came on. The CO2 kept running full blast for about 20 minutes before I realized the lights where on.

I put the monitor in the room and it read over 3000PPM! I started getting dizzy so I got the hell out of there quick. I turned on the vent fan and closed the door.

I felt weird for about 10 minutes and ended up with a head ache. Lesson learned!

I could fill a book with all my fuck ups!

They came on at the right time--he just had his controller outside of the room because it needed to be calibrated--without the controller the CO2 ran nonstop building up a high concentration.

Of course you want CO2 with lights on.

Stinkbud are you going to be doing an article with hightimes? I read that next month they will be interviewing someone about harvesting a pound every three weeks, they said the name was stinkbud. Is that you dude?

Have you checked really closely for pests? It looks like Thrip damage to me. Check the underside of the leaves with a magnifying glass.

They are very small and hard to see. They can hop fast and far too.

If it's not pests then drain and flush your res with Clearex. Refill it with fresh nutes and watch the new growth closely.

Always keep an eye on your room temps. Many problems can be traced to a hot room. A hot room can make your water too warm.

Humidity can also end up being a problem with a hot room. The warmer the temps the more water vapor can be stored within the air.

One more thing...Old leaves die all the time. You will fill an entire grocery bag with old dead leaves. They are usually the bottom leaves that are not receiving much light.

I have to go in once a week and pick off all the old dead leaves. No big deal...

I would bet money on the Thrips though. As soon as I looked at the photos it took me all of one second to say "Thrips"!

This time I hope I'm wrong!

Man, I hope it's not Thrips!

The humidity did get to about 57%.
The temps are around 80 - 90. (Running CO2)

I will check after work. Midnight to Eight shift! Will report tomorrow!

Thanks!

Yes my CO2 runs whenever the lights are on. The lights came on but my sensor was outside the room next to an open window.

I had unplugged it and was calibrating it.

So the sensor thought it was 500PPM and just kept the gas running!

Thanks! I hope so too! I doubt I will sleep after work. Have to go check on them! I just never saw any bugs yet.
No soil. Very very cold where I live. Hard to imagine bugs!

Great thread. I'm working my way through it now. I like to pass on two thing s for discussion:
Reservoir temperature - a old hydroponics trick to keep the nutrient solution cool is to fill some plastic bottles with water and freeze them. Throwing one or two into the reservoir will bring the temperature down slowly. Oh yea, don't open the bottles or you'll dilute the solution.

Stressing the plants - Annual plants have one over-whelming instinct during their short life - to procreate - to create seed. There are various ways to stress the plant to drive it to seed. Shorting the light cycle is one way. (Days get shorter - winter coming - go to seed.) I would like to see, possibly in another thread of other ways to stress the plants to flower (we are not going all the way to seed.)

Gotta go - still playing catch-up on this thread.
