Lights at 20" & I don't use calmag after week 6 of flower. I cut that and micros out. Well with this grow I am anyways. Trying different methods.
A little tweaking here & there til I find one with results I like.

Check a leaf chart. Missing cal/mag. No real problem the last few weeks. I keep my plants on the edge of nute tox every flower.

He is a rescue we got him from someone who said that they found him and they did not seem like the tipe of people who would have spent the money for that as always thank you for your time and the best wishes to you @Wizzlebiz

Ok. So the plan is as follows. PH water, I am also considering giving a small shot of big bloom.

Its 420 soil. I know what happened now. We will see the difference come Tuesday or so.

Sounds good. Look forward to seeing the results.
You probably have this covered but make sure your PH pen is calibrated. Using the two calibration fluids are great but it is also good to have the hydro PH drops as backup.
Good Luck!

See that you switched heaters to looking forward to seeing how it all turns out as always thank you for your time and all the information that you share

Lmfao. So yea this morning I pHd and went back to chem nutes. I gave it shot of grow big. But a small dose.

I can already see a bounce back. I will figure these LEDs out and you will be shocked. I promise that. This shit is on like donkey Kong hitting a bong.


That is a nice fucking set up. That baitcaster is going to drive you nuts at 1st. Then once you get used to it you won't want anything else.

Yea we can definitely go soon. Looking forward to it.

Hey Wiz, I have the same light and I keep it way up, 36" above the canopy at full power with great results.

I would try 1 tablespoon Big Bloom in 2 gallons of water, also Cal-Mag with every water. My plants seem to love Big Bloom but not too much.

Yea I am beginning to think it needs to be raised and just allow the plants to grow into it. Il take your advise. Thank you.

Yes, if they can't grow into it they will try to hide from it being too close. All part of the learning curve!

Yesterday I saw some new growth twisting the leaf as to avoid the light. Thats when I truly thought I need to adjust. Today that growth seems fine. But obviously it was stressed.

These lights are not as easy as the sun lmao

Update on getting them back to good.

So as I has stated I watered with pHd feed. A small shot of grow big 6-4-4. When I say small im talking 1 teaspoon for 2 gallons small.
This was yesterday morning.

I also raised the light last night as previously suggested. It was still too close.

Here are the differences.

This was Saturday.


This morning.


Recovery has definitely begun. Looking forward to getting back on track.

The light is obviously alot stronger than what I was giving it credit for.

At 22 inches away and 80% intensity it was getting leaves curling at the top as to avoid the light. I moved it to 36 inches as suggested with 100% intensity.

Great to here wizz and it is awesome that your light is working better than expected as always thank you for your time and your willingness to share the good and the bad

Thank you Jeff. Unfortunately human error is a very real thing. But it is nothing to be ashamed of. As long as we recognize and learn from our mistakes we have grown as people.

Dealing with my own nightmare equipment break downs and getting sick yup I have lost most of my grow but I'll get my shit together soon and seeing threads like yours help out a great deal as always thank you for your time and the best wishes to you and your family and friends @Wizzlebiz

Your right Jeff it certaiy does, my first grow was great my last two have been terrible, I blame cheap pH pens and me most of all,me, thanks for the update wizz

Saturday update.

Recovery is done. Back on track. Major difference from Saturday to today.

Saturday


Today


I'm very happy with the results. Simple fixes.

Went back to pHing my water. Raised the light to 30 inches. Realized I didn't actually turn the dimmer up. It was at 60% thru this recovery. Today it will go to 80% and 2 days to 100%.

So I am strongly considering pulling the one in the back. Its a runt. Regardless if its male or female I dont think its one I want.

What would you guys do?
