Tales from the 1000w bud hut....

Ok so I have a thread which started it all. Its called 400w all organic. But im no longer running a 400 or all organic so I figured I would just move it to a normal forum instead of organics. However I will continue to update it for the scribers. Soooo...
I currently only have two plants. They are both female and both bagseed. Im having some issues but cant really narrow down what the exact cause is. I got yellow leaves and red veins/purple stalks. The yellow leaves die and fall ow all twisted up looking. There is also some brown splotches on leaves which turns crispy. I think thats nute burn because on some leaf tips there is brown dots forming,,,,but that issue isnt very bad at all, just a couple leaves affected. I have lost like 5 nodes of fan leaves now and all thats left is the colas growing, but they look awesome.
Im in the third week of flowering. I dont keep exact days. Both got tons of sticky white hairs everywhere. This is my first grow so when these are done, Im starting my good beans. I will be starting 4 kiwi seeds 2 pounders, 2 G13 Thai SS, 2 WW Fem, and a WW mother seed with unknown father. Im currently working on a 400w grow cab for vegg so I can start.


My grow tent is a DIY and looks pretty fuckin awesome considering I dont have any fancy ass equipment in it. I got a 4 inch inline pulling air off the 1000w hood and a dayton blower for regular exhaustion. A ac for controling high temps. The tent is constructed of insulated rubber roofing material which was kinda expensive but works great. My temps stay almost exactly at 73 lights off, and 86 on. Humidity is low 20s. I began using only guano for nutes but was diverted when given free General Hydroponics KOOLBLOOM. So now I use that.
Im learning alot from this grow and am gathering as much knowledge as I can. After I grow one more soil grow, Which will be my kiwis and skunks, I am going hydro.

Any input on the best complete General Hydroponics nutes to use is very much appreciated and also any input on DWC is also appreciated. I will either be growing in DWC or Flood and drain. But for now Im on this bagseed grow so take a look and drop a line if interested. I will also be posting pics of the grow cab soon after completion.

Problem 1: Your using hydro nutrients in soil...
Problem 2: It seems as if you cut off all the fan leaves....

1.Nope didnt cut the fan leaves, They yellowed and dropped on their own. Im no dumbass.
2. The nutes are soil or hydro, the name holds no significance.

Any other ideas???

Stop all nutes and flush heavily with PH"D water. I know this is such an easy answer to give but I saw nothing about your ph in your thread.

ph is fairly steady around 6.8,,,,,,sommetimes 7 on the button. I was told to flush before and so I did but thats when it got worse....Dont think thats the issue but thanks for input bro.

They seem to be growing new growth fine so....I can only watch and see....Im planning on adding some N and some epsom salt next feed.

Any suggestions on a complete nute line to use???? Please be specific..

I use the botanicare line with no complaints for indoor and outdoor. Its all organic. Go with the liquid karma, grow formula, then switch the grow with soil bloom for flower. Also have used cal/mag and didn't seem to hurt anything. You can also try adding a flavor of sweet. Also I use roots organics soil all kinds of good stuff in it. Been using the formula 707 soil lately you get a nice big bag for 20 bucks. Hope this helps

Hell yea I been thinking of going with RO but wasnt sure on best nutes to use. I was looking at using the cal mag for sure. Good to know youve used these and had sucess in Roots Organic. Are the grow and bloom formulas the supplements or base nute? thanks though bro...

Does the 707 buffered? I mean hold a stable ph?? thx

I think I am gonna go with the RO for sure and Im still deciding on nutes. Im down to either Botanicare or General hydroponics....

Here is a link to there feeding chart. Look on the second page under PURE BLEND PRO Hydrogarden Formula for coco and soil. I just use the liquid karma with grow and soil bloom formula. I also used the sweet with success in the past. I want to try adding the hydroplex at some point.

I have never checked the ph of the soil. I have never had any problems with it though with about 6 grows indoor and out with it.

Hell yea thanks for the help, thats what Im using for sure...

29th day in and Plants lookin ok except all fan leaves are yellowing and drying up on tips than falling off altogether. colas are green though and most bud sites too....though some bud leaves are dying on the lower portion of the plants bud sites...they harden at the tips with a brown spotch and then they die. I think I may have been feeding too often because I fed 3 weeks in a row once a week. Im going to run ph water for next 3 because theres a top dressing of mex and indo guano....very little mex...just a little N. also found these little small ass wormies on cola leaves. Dont know what they are so I just pic em off. Found a wolf spider in my room today though. Scared the shit outta me! haha
I still need a good camera to get some good pics. Hopefully the leaves quit dying up. Them colas are now about the size of a bic lighter, hight and thickness.

Any ideas why my leaves are dying up?
Any thoughts on the worm culprit?

thx

Im thinking of using subcools revised soil with RO....for the WW and SS

In my opinion you are overkilling if you are using a 1000 Watt for that small and few of plants. . .

Its gonna be bigger, these were learners Im flowering out. Got good beans for next grow. My 1000 is the perfect size for my grow area. Ive done my research. but thanks.

well I called two hydro stores and neither sell RO. Now I gotta use biobizz soil.....Off to the store. Plus I got my CFL grow cab done pretty much....
