Losing my crop in Stinkbud system.. Please help! Pics

i think your nutes are too strong

i think when you refil your res, you need to just add ph'd water.

what do your roots look like? green or brown? if so, get h202

i think in the stinkbud system... sometimes the 5 min off isnt enough... it takes 7 or 8 off sometimes.

how long its on is irrelevant 30 sec, 2 min, doesnt matter.

as you make these corrections, watch the top leaves of your plant, the bottom ones wont correct, just new top ones

I am using the Stinkbud Aero system, slightly modified so the posts are a little longer. The strain is Super lemon haze from Greenhouse seeds. They are almost 5 weeks into flowering and they look like shit. Im using Botanicare nutes at 1500 PPM and 5.8 PH.. 10x10 ft. room. Temps are 78f.

The only thing I can think of thats causing this is I may have let them veg to long cause they are huge! I have had to bend several of the tops. I hope some of you veterens can give me a hand with this as I have sooo much time, energy and $$ in this.

I am a medical patient so this is for personal use and it's a legal grow. By the way, although they look horrible the smell is amazing, just like lemon drops candy. Please work with me here guys I hate to bother anyone for help but I have no idea what to do. Thanks RIU

Cool, thanks man.. I think Stinkbud starts his clones at 1500 PPM.. Being that there organic nutes should'nt I be able to run it higher? I started at 800 PPM and slowly worked my way up. What will the H2O2 do?

Forgot to mention, The res is taking over 5 gal of water per day, is that normal? Also when the plants were about 3 weeks old in veg we lost power (no water) for about 10 hours but they did have the problem before that but on a smaller scale. Any and all suggestions are very welcome.

looks like nutrient lock out....

flush everything.. with just ph ed water and clearex

also how hot is it in that room????

are ya doing co2? if so whats the ppm on the co2


where are you at ppm nutrients are you running now?

if its too hot cool it down ... if your co2 is to high (1200)ppm

give it lotsa vitamin b1

pray

after a week or so bring nutrients back up to half strength .
slowly build back up ...to where you want to be for me 1200 ppm works good..

good luck

fuck i feel bad for u buddy.. all u can do is flush and start ur nutes again very low.. as long as the roots and everything else seems fine..
it dont matter wot ppm SB runs, every strains diferent, u gotta watch the plants, they will tell u.. Theres no rule that says u gotta go 1500 and alota ppl dont, saves nutes and nute burn etc..
Ur only 5 weeks, SLH is a long flowerer right? u got time to get some new growth going and some decent bud

saw your temps 78 its nutrient lock up lock out... drain everything flush with clearex...

look at your instructions on your nutrients what is the recommended ppm?

i use cutting edge at 1200 ppm great results but if you add the nutrioents out of order it will cause nutrient lock out .... to much will wreck it ....keep it simple then add as you need it and if you see the tips curl back of thats the beginning of nutrient burn..

what is the temp of your res....

good luck

Also wot are u topping ur res up with? plain ph'd water?..
no matter wot happens, in a couple months ull have a new harvest and this will just be a lesson learnt, its all learning

I di a flush with clearex once before, I will do it again in the morning. Just so I have this straight, I drain the res and fill it with clearex and water and run it for how long? Temps are in order @ 75 to 80 max. Water temp is about 72-74. I am not running co2 buy I do have a meter, it says 700-800 when Im not in the room..

Nute burn, bad. Back off to about 900-1000PPM ASAP. Sadly, leaves that burned are not going to recover.

Forgot to mention that. I am using RO water for the first time. The tap at my old house was great but it's horrible at my new pad. I jast add the RO and then PH the res.

id flush as long as it took to see some nice new growth.. maybe a couple days, u should be recovered in like 14 days, just take it easy building nutes back up
