Hi all… I’m hoping somebody has had a similar experience and maybe a solution… my first grow…using a 420 super soil peat moss coco mix. Mars hydro tsw 2000 led, 100x100 tent. Day temp 26c,night 21c. RH50%. I didn’t realize there were nutes in soil and from day 10 to 30 I fed advanced nutes micro grow bloom ph perfect with ro water not checking ph. Around day 30 started seeing some rust spots and twisted tips. Stopped nutes fed only ph ro. Flushed. Checked ph run off 7.2. Fed water 10 days ph still 7.2. Flushed again, used Florakleen. Added 330ppm of calmag. Next fed light nutes…ph run off still high not sure what to do…each plant looks different… one is very lime colored. One has twisted leaf tips. One is stretching a lot and seems to be the healthiest… not sure wether to count my losses and start again with less nutes? I’m at day 54… lsd-25 meant to be auto but haven’t begun to flower as of yet? Bought of a shopping app…any advice would be much appreciated! I really don’t know what to do…thanks in advance.
welcome to OG goldenbags a 100x100 tent do you live in it also
enjoy yourself here
Welcome to OG Goldenbags,
Yeah once you start feeding a fed medium, it’s hard to get your feet back under you.
I could never afford Advanced products. AND, I never ran an auto as labeled anyway.
IF you choose to restart, of course water the medium, and about 5 weeks or so, then start a lite feed mix.
my question is what’'s in the 420 super soil coco peat mix??If it’s nuted soil(esque), why are your pounding the plants with the nutes?
I run AN Sensi Coco nutes in plain coco. The plants do great as long as you don’t let them dry out too much.
@webeblzr , AN is much more affordable on amazon. Hydro stores are almost double the price.
What’s the pH of your water? (Not run off).
This comment doesn’t really help the OP at all.
It’s mostly just critical and pushing Amazon which that comment isn’t even accurate about it being cheaper.
Hey Thank You Freakshow!!
I ran Botanical products/CNS line/PBP lines in the past with fine results.
Ran some General Hydro stuff in my early days, not a fan of GH.
Master Blend Tomato 2 parts, I use Epsom we already have, mixed to label, comes out to a perfect 550-600ppm’s, to a 5 gallon bucket full of nutes. 12 grams nitrogen, 7 grams Epsom, 12 grams Cal/nitrogen.
For Transision, I add a shot glass of MorBloom, this also gives me a perfect PH driving it to the 5.7 or so range in my well water.
Nothing special, but raw dog cheap, with delicious flowers for the jars!
Hi and welcome @Goldenbags , posting some pics will make easier to help you …
I think we both use PH perfect. The Coco line is for coco. Like my friend George said pictures help.
If you’re using advanced nutrients. If you Google it there is a site you can go to that will tell you how to mix and feed your plants. It will tell you what products you can use like piranha or B-52. You have your Cal mag max, reserve, big bud and big candy. So many more to use. It is one of my favorite products. If you look around enough it’s not that expensive. Bulk is where you save money with AN. I’ll see where I can get 2 gallons of pH perfect for under $50. That is pretty cheap.
Welcome ! the first thing I would do is “flush” like you did and then re-think your nutrient use. Have used Advanced Nutrient PH perfect stuff but this has been years since used it BUT never had an issure with “PH” stuff at least for me. Here is the stages of auto growth:
Vegation Stage is 1-3 weeks
Flower Stage is 4-12 weeks (depends on breeder/strain)
also there is a Auto Plant nutrient call: “Bonie & Clyde” forget the maker FYI
twisted tip = ph issues ?
organics/ (elemental nutrients and auroa root nutes)massive bloom/terpinator/ is what I use at present (Big Bud weeks 2-4 flower) let me know - I know many companies that offer sample packs - you have a good two year of growing with them and are very cheap $10.00 to $25.00 (+/-) hit me up
Send some pictures as others have said.
Don’t flush it doesn’t make sense you are running a hydro system; fix what the issue is.
Fix and stabilize your pH, everything else is a rabbit hole until you do that.
I think he is in coco so this one will fit better …
Well, folks, a coco/peat “super soil” mix isn’t exactly soil and it’s not exactly coco. If the medium is full of nutrients, he probably doesn’t necessarily need to to feeding them anything - yet. Flushing is the correct course to take ( in soil or coco so it fits with problem), but we definitely need more information. There’s most likely a build up of something in the substrate. If it’s anything like Subcool’s super soil, it a very hot soil and shouldn’t need added nutes.
@Pcc, i’m not pushing Amazon, dude. I am merely offering information. Which is desperately needed in this thread. The OP stated he’s running in a coco/peat moss super soil mix which is definitely NOT hydro.
Shame the OP hasn’t posted since the original post.
