mine gives me ppm and ec on a digital display. if it says ec 1059 does that pretty much mean 1 then?

Could be between 1.something and 2.something I think.

ive just been ignoring it anyway. i understand the ppm bit, thatl do me for now.

day 25 update.
res change day again. the nute deficiency has iether slowed dramatically or dissapeared. im a bit colour blind so cant quite tell if its 100% away and my mrs not here to check, but its close. upped the nute levels slightly and phd down to 5.5.
hydro a/b 1ml/L each
hydro boost 0.35ml/L (rd 0.1-0.5)
calmag 0.5ml/L
root boost 0.5ml/L. it says to stop after 3 weeks but still not a massive amount of roots so keeping it for now.
forgot to take my phone up again but ive topped one and fimmed the other. as ive said, i cant have that high main cola due to space so it makes my life a bit easier hopefully. providing ive no more dramas ill be back on monday with some pics of what is hopefully the full recovery and some new top growth of my lovely little ladies. wish me luck troops.

well, this is frustrating. cody lane has made a full recovery and is bushing up nicely. anastacia on the other hand just looks sad and droopy. her leaves feel thin and week and shes a day or 2 behind in growth aswell. the purple leaves are definately gone. the stalks on both were also purple but the purple skin has dried,split and fallen off to reveal a lovely green stalk underneath. going through some amount of water aswell. maybe a litre a day. ppm of 1350 is still the same though so finally got my nutes right. for now at least. any suggestions about the droopyness? cant change the res to fix it so should i maybe give her a foliar spray of some sort?

 

[EvilScotsman]

oh also, i tried to do some leaf tucking as these thing grow mental.only done potos before so this whole 5 or 6 colas out already things mad for me.but because of the way theyve grown it just really isnt working. i cut the 2 bottom fan leaves of fully from each this morning as they were totally fucked. dont know if it was them i wouldve been tucking under? instead i thought i might start some pony tailing on monday. can i do this so soon after topping or does the new growth need the light more? @A-Train im sure your the man with the plan for this one if i remember correctly? sure kush recommended you and hes been right about everything ive ignored and done wrong so far

 

[A-Train]

Lol i would give the new growth a min after topping. Im not a topper myself since i can get just as many top without it. But give her a few days to recover then ponytail away. Run the ponytail 4 to 6 hrs every other day til you see the bottom shoot up

 

[EvilScotsman]

haha ya show off. cheers man. ive decided to start listening to you guys so ill wait till thursday when i change the res etc. in gratitude i present as always the dancing, yellow, cock out space pig. enjoy buddy : )

 

[EvilScotsman]

right. ive been busting some braincells over my droopy problem and decided that it must be over or under watering. as its the plant furthest from the pump, my logic says it must be under. my spirit level says the gt is square and the pumps on as high as im willing to put it at this stage and the plant closest to it is happy so im gonna prop the opposite side of ms droopy up by 3ml and see if that helps. seen a couple folk say it could be nitrogen od but im gonna ignore that for now till i see what happens with the lift as theres nothing i can do about that i dont think. shes also had no new top growth since topping 3 days ago while the fimmed plant has had plenty so getting a bit worried. definately sticking to one plant per gt next time. another lesson learned : )

If its the same strain in the same nutes, then the droop is probably caused by something above the corex? I just had a gander at your last pic, and I think your droopy girl might have too much airflow over her, could be causing her to evaporate off quicker than she can drink. She does look a bit darker than righty (who looks pretty bloody good btw!), which could of been caused by her drinking up more and therefore taking up more N, causing a bit of nitrogen toxicity leading to stunted growth. I had a bit of N Toxicity on my first NFT grow.

hmm thats really not what i wanted to hear. thanks for that lol. i havent got that side of the corex taped down as figured leaving a side slightly open would be good for air circulation. thought would cause lots of sweaty air in the heated res otherwise? the fan is always at the other end too, beside the healthy girl as only place it clips onto properly. you got any suggestions on a possible fix? i dont want to lower any nutes now that ones healthy and the ppm is staying level so what else can i do? fuck me this causes a few headaches like. got some nice polly en route for finishing work today so might be able to think a bit straighter after that lol.
