Grow Mediums BIG LOW from SeedsOfLife 100w hps first grow journal

[KsjAuto]

Time for update:
Ran into some problems, maybe they are still there... Time will tell..
I flushed the system with 5,6 ph water. and the runof was 6.1 ???????.. Thinking thinking,,,,ahhhhh when the ph rise overnight the medium will also have a higher ph therefor higher runof. that is a hard nut to crack..
Changed the res yesterday: 5 l bottle water 5 liter tapwater 200 ppm instead of 300 - 440 ppm tapwater. hope that helps with my ph not rising that fast..
added 35 ppm of epson salt and 100 ppm bloom nute. i will up the nute daily after the "flush"..
I think i have/had a cal/mag deficiency lockout because of the hard tap water "to much calsium".. hope the epson salt will fix it.

I am also running out of space so trying to train here down a little bit.

To MrNiceSmoke
se if can get her out of the tent and take a better picture..
with better light.
none of the leaves is yellow.
the starting brown spots. start with brown and then turns rust color in the middle of the oldest fan leaves and then moving up to the top fan leaves.
And the tips isnt`n yellow they are lime green..
but new leaves looks healthy.
the next couple of days will tell.
Peace.

Time for Update
The past week i have been topping the res up with filtered water "dafi filter same as brita filter" just to try somthing else.. added about 40 ppm epson salt to the mix every 2. day.
my ph is almost stable now. jubii. But using the filter removes the calsium and magnesium in my tap water.. cal/ mag def..
I ordered a bottle grotek cal mag... still waiting for it to come..
So this res change is with tap water and topping up with tap water. so the feeding is with more cal /mag from the tap..
She looks much better now but, but show signs of deficiency. the lime green tips is gone but still small brown spots.
I cant get her out of the tent. So same picture quality under the hps.
im still just feeding her with about 100 ppm of nute. she relly cant take more.

ph 5.7 to 5,9 and back again
ppm 430

Thanx for comments everyone
I got my grotek cal max.
So Changed res again. shitty tap water can`t get a stable ph.
Res changed with dafi filter water. "makes ph stable"
27 ppm calmax and 52 ppm bloom nute. 1.5 ml calmax 3.5 ml bloom this ratio gives me about 6.75 % CA and 5.25% mg i dont know about this ratio going blind with this.
i will up the nute daily.
Now that i have a more stable watersource i hope it is easy to solve deficiencies
She will let me know if she likes it.
no pics this time
:dance2:
Peace
