fire extinguisher...

I have em. Its not that bad, i have taken a few elecrical courses, the connections are solid and and the right gauge, no exposed wire. Its just laziness, i have to zip tie alot of stuff its sloppy

I hope everything works out for you . looks like you get a monster harvest from those ultimate autos I just couldn't wait that long for them to finish or I would switch back to photos lol. I love the 10 week strains

This is my first one of these, ive been doing mostly Mephistos. I made some more room, so now im going to have one or 2 Dutch Passion superautos and 4-6 Mephisto 60-70 day strains rotating. I like these big ones, they should yeild more than photos with 24 hr photosynthesis vs 12 with a photoperiod. So, it turned out ok, no wilting or shock, i lost alot of fan leaves, but i can see a few that have some more green in them than yesterday. That bag was alot bigger than i thought it was, i had 5 gal of coco made up to add to the 5 already there, i got it all in there and it wasnt nearly enough, luckily i had some pots ready for some seedlings im gonna transplant, it was more then 15 gal, so theres alot of room for the root system to re-establish itself.

:smoking:...missed the tag Royal, sorry!... mate, get me pics in normal light, I can't read the leaves in that yellow spec' well enough,... If so, pH is fine, but no 15-20% run-off is not fine! You called it, salt build-up... Have you checked the run-off EC/TDS, and pH? overly high ppm's in there could account for the slowed water uptake, along with nutes in kind-- they go together! hence the defc., especially hitting the tops,... that looks like a micronute' defc. kicking in, with the tops looking worst, and hit first? Whole plant seems pale though,.. with this case of possible high in-pot ppm/EC, more than ome nute element will be showing up as defc.'s,... S might be play here, but normal light pics will help figure what all is TARFU here,.. get me that run-off pH and EC,... in coco, this is OK for ball=park analysis,.. oh also, flushing in coco is a whole different deal vs. true soil... I believe to preserve the CEC buffering (not pH, mind you, but Cations-- Ca, Mg namely), you have to use this mix: RO/Di water, with 150ppm Ca-Mg + 150ppm nutes, pH'ed to 6.0; pour through until r-o' is at or near input pH and ppm's,... no worries with coco water saturation, it breaths and drians better than soil, but you can always put it on newspaper for wicking action to draw off excess water faster,...

Hey! Thanks Waira. The leaves are healing now, they were yellow now theyre darkening through lime green. It was the bottom and inner fan leaves that were worst effcted, the smaller leaves on the colas werent as bad. I woke up late and am in a crazy rush, im still letting the pot sit, the coco is moist. Ill haul it out and put it in mu tub tmrw and get readings then give you a detailed.report. things are looking better though. thanks again!

Ok i did as you asked, runoff ph was 5.9 and ppm is around 1500...pretty high. got some pics too, it looks alot better than it did and seems to be recovering.

... oy!-- yeah that's too high,...explains a lot! one of my coco guru's says at this stage, he runs about 1.7 EC (1.0 EC = 500ppm- in most cases, ppm equivalent is not standardized, like EC is), and recommends that run-off not be more than 230ppm over your inputs,... hence the high run-off % to keep such build-up from happening! pH is spot-on, so maybe do a "minor" flush with the solution above and get those ppm's down,.. she's feeding well from the looks of the buds, but you don't want such excess, especially towards harvest,... a "flush" period, low-to-no NPK nutes might be wise too,.. I know what pop22 says about flushing, and he's only partly right IMO,...

Lol yeah, so ends my "maybe i dont need to do so much runoff" experiment. I put a good amount through yesterday, its still wet. Ill do a light flush tmrw. Thanks alot!
