I just did this.
Just SIPing along. 6 days into my flip and things are running real smooth now. I stopped using LABs in the rezs and I believe I have corrected the issues I was having. Rezs have stayed fairly clean and got healthy white roots down in the water now. The roots looked like they were dying a little bit whenever they touched the water with my homemade LABs in it. Flushed the rezs out and changed with fresh water w/o LABs and plants really recovered quickly.
Check out smscreations thread above. He had the same look.
I feel like it's mg def., especially since I use ro water, but yea I'll check it out. I remember reading his post before, but I didn't know what the problem was.
I haven't used any labs though.
Honestly I'm not sure what my issue was either as I had quite a few things going wrong at once lol. My rezs were smelling like a fish tank, my humidity was too low for my Temps, and lights were too close. My soil seemed to be too hot initially as well. I have since got my temp and humidity stable and lined up with proper VPD, raised my lights, and stopped using LABs in my rezs. I also did some foliar epsom sprays all at the same time. I never decreased my amount of topdressings just stuck with Build a Soils recommended schedule and they pulled thru right before I switched to flower. They are doing wonderful now however.
Temps right now are ~77, humidity ~60%, I just transplanted a couple weeks ago into 3 round no till, haven't top dressed yet, and I use ro water in the res.
Okay cool VPD is pretty close to where it needs to be. Did you transplant into same soil as started in? Did you have the issues before you transplanted? With the use of RO water I'm leaning more towards needing at least an epsom foliar. What are you using for topdressing?
I start in happy frog. It hasn't given me a problem in the past. I thought I had tip burn from a ferment, but now I'm not thinking that was it. I've epsom foliar past 2 days. I use craft blend and ewc in veg and build a flower in flower.
Yea I start in happy frog as well. Past couple grows of being in living soil I've had tip burn during veg and I was just attributing that to my living soil being a little hot. As veg would go on and into flower, the tip burn would stop. I use the craft blend and buildaflower as well and havent had any issues with it so far. Hopefully the epsom foliar keeps the lightening of the leaves from progressing any further. Keep a watch on them and keep us updated!! Maybe somebody with a little more knowledge will chime in and add to my recommendations.
Good lookin out man.
little more towards Ca def.
Thanks for the reply. Ca def. Should be a easy fix. I'll use a lil tap water on some of my res refills. Thanks again!
I use a multi-pronged approach.
