Shock the shit out of this water… 1/4 teaspoon per gallon. Pre mixed/dilluted prior to adding. Res change and minimal ppm.

So heres where we’re at…res change, hth added at amounts specified by others who use it with great results.
Ppm 250
Ph 6.0
Res temp is under 20c.
Hoping this root rot was just a flash in the pan and fucks off as fast as it came…yeah, yeah, clawed, n toxicity, blah

I get the same with some of my autos even though the others look fine with the same food. Not sure if it’s toxicity or just a genetic thing, I highly doubt you’re overfeeding at 250ppm.
I’ve been giving my more mature autos around 750 ppm of mega crop and they’re loving it, I don’t think I’d go any higher though. At the stage you’re at I’d probably be around 5-600ppm.

Ph fell to 4…maybe lower over the holidays…pollinated this morning all over…so hoping seeds if nothing else. Definitely not my finest work. Very discouraged since the finding of the root rot.

How would I know if the pollination took? I see some hairs that were white are now turning red and receding…pretty sure that’s a good sign…time will tell. Cant wait till I get my shit back on track.

Not a bad recovery, I like to torture mine too when life gets busy 
. I was surprised how tough they were. Looks like that nice purple coming in. I have one of her sisters started and she’s got that same pale green color too.
I must have missed it, what kind of pollen did you dust her with?

Purple is definitely coming in! After the shitkicking they took over the holidays, and now with ph’d water and fresh nutes, I can see daily gains on these things (both are still in the same dwc).
Ultimately I just did a mashup of an unknown short stuff fem pollen and the greenhouse seeds big bang fem pollen. So it’s totally a guessing game what took and what didn’t. Wasn’t sure if any of my pollen was still good. So I just showered the shit out of them with both.
But heres a shot of the roots. Looks pretty good considering root rot almost knocked them out completely.

Gains…slowly but surely…was looking for signs that the pollen took, but cant see anything that looks like a seed pod yet…

The ph seems to drop pretty hard almost daily. I bring it up to 6.0 and 24’osh hours later it’s back down to 4.0.
But it looks like the end is nigh for these. Do you just watch the trich’s or will these fade and tell me they’re done?

They should finish up just like any other photo. Keep an eye on the trichomes.

Have you found many autos that don’t turn amber? I have and definitely let some go too long. Can you recommend some auto genetics that finish faster. I bought some crop king white widow autos at the local shop (only bought because of the availability at the moment), with the intent they would be done before the photos I popped the same day and chopped weeks ago lol. Those plants will most likely all be going to bubble for rosin, they a far from a performer lol.

This is my first real attempt at growing autos…but it was a good experience…this harvest is in my fuster cluck thread.
Pretty sure any of the autos from short stuff and fast seeds are early finishers…someone might be able to give you a better list than my 2…lol

Delicious Seeds autos usually finish around 9 weeks from germination. Sweet Seeds autos are in that time frame too. Mephisto seems to be bigger plants, but more like 10-11 weeks.

I’m sad… I’ve read like 3 of your logs and haven’t commented. Learning lots from the hydro growers here! Good work man!
