Yeah, so I will tell you the specification of my setup. I have a 100w cfl at 5" of the plant/my pH is nearly at 6-5,5/I use 15-30-15 with the proper solution written on the nutrients/my light cycle is at 18h on-6h off(like most of people)/I have a air pump running full time and a bubble stone and they make lots of bubble directly on the roots(btw the roots are smelling good, not chanel #5 but you know what I mean..)/ the temparature is nearly at 77 f. degrees/I have a small usb fan running all the time to circulate the air.


So what are your suggestion for me to help curing and solving the problem of my plant?:)


Thank you a lot, your help is VERY appreciate!:D

what kind of micro nutrients if any does the 15_30_15 contain? Any calcium or magnesium? If money is an issue get some cheap powder grow by General hydroponics and sum caliMag also by them. Be sure to dissolve completely before adding to your reservoir/bucket. I use hot ass water in a coffee cup to get the job done. I only suggest this because a buddy was having the same issue with his sun grow using the 15_30_15. If you have 50-60$ Id suggest a "player pack"of the soul synthetics line by roots organics. Its available directly from their website and ships quickly.

I always tell people if you're gonna do hydro a ppm meter is a must. Without knowing the ppm of your nutrient solution is kinda hard to point you in the right direction. My advice would be to cut back on the nutes until you can buy a ppm meter

Yes I make sure to dissolve by agitate the water until it's there is no nutrients residue. I also have 20-20-20 for all usage, 10-54-15 for flowering period. I recently ordered botanicare-aquashield to help my plant to stay healthy and have stronger roots system. I will checl forward for caliMag!:) Thanks a lot!:) if you want any picture of sonething else just ask!:D

I will order a ppm meter right away! thanks!:D You seems to know ppm(I know what is it, I used to do calculate ppm in science at school, but it's not fresh in my head;-)) can you tell me what my ppm should be when I will check the ppm? Thanks btw!:D

I dont see any calcium on that label and the amount of magnesium is very minimal. I would ditch that stuff for a hydro grow and go with that player pack i mentioned. You can try just adding caliMag by gh which is only bout 15$

plants that small are good on 400 ppm for about 2 weeks then bump to 800 for last week of veg and up to 1000-1200 during flower. all strains are different so watch it daily. maintain ph of 5.8_6.2 and water temps 70_76. check every day for ph stability and enjoy
