Had problems with algae, due to light exposure to the water supply. Plants were getting root bound, so I migrated them a week ago to RDWC, from 6 inch flower pots, with hydroton.

The 2 largest (chemdog photo's) have been effected the most. I worked the hydroton out of the roots, damaging them, in switch over. Problem is probably from root damage, but could also be heat, or being too dry. The PPM keeps going up, even after adding water. Put a crap load of "root 66" from technaflora (enough for 18 gallons), so do not want to discard for a few days. Took 10 gallons out, and replaced with fresh water, and still at 1300 PPM (water is 265 ppm).

Have been spraying them once a day, with nutrient solution.

The cuttings are from the 2 largest chemdogs, and were close to the light.

WOuld like to clone the cuttings. Is scraping or putting tiny cuts in stem better?

I just hope the 2 big ones survive to SCROG.

leaves look nute burnt

bit tired right now, only thing that jumps out at me is dont spray them with a nutrient solution, your hydro has nutes, if you mean clones your waiting to show roots then definately dont spray them with a nutrient water like ever

will pop back in here after some sleep

peace :cool:

Thanks!! I am learning, the hard way. Big problem is the shock from moving from root bound 6 inch pots, to RDWC, I would think. Area is very dry (40%) and would be 60 degree's without light, floor is about 58, without heat. The other thing is the high PPM, wondering about nutrient lockout. Would rinse it all, but used a whole bottle of root 66, last night.

Best Wishes!!

No sure about working with clones but WTF is that in the last picture its realy cute not seen anything like it before! Im from the u.k says it all :smokebuds:
 
That thing is cute as hell Man!

They actually look good other than the two. Looks like Mag deficiency, or lockout. Are you running any CalMag suppliment? I'd lower the PPM's. If your PPM's keep rising then you are overfeeding. Could definitely cause lockout.
Could definitely cause your symptoms. Get it to where your PPM's slowly fall a bit over 24 hours.

Different strains like different nutrient profiles. Welcome to my world, lol. Even the same strain grown from seed will want different nutrients. I've got 14 plants all from seed with a FEW different Phenos, and I'm playing the middle ground game right now, lol.

The first thing I'd do is get my PPM's down until they drop instead of rise.
I'm dog ass tired, but got the message and HAD to check out the setup.
Kick ass pics.

Looks Bitchin By The Way!!!!!! Nice clean setup Man!!
:drool::drool::drool:

:slap: For the system and beautiful plants.

What size containers are they in? How'd you set up the RDWC?

It is a kinkajou, at about 3 months old. He is 7 now. Like a monkey, with a prehensile tail, but closer to a raccoon in species. Not ideal pets!!! Can not be house trained, and have to trim their nails, or wind up with many scratches, from them climbing or jumping onto you.

Have lived in NYC blast area, since the 1960's. Grew up diving under desk during bomb drills, at school.

That was my thought, about the lockout. Roots were solid at the bottom of the 2 pots, before transfer to RDWC.

The cuttings look a lot better after 24 hours soaking in water. Would like to clone them tonight. Might post some pictures to see what experts think, about where to cut, and if I should use a razor to make cuttings, before cloning gel.

Just put the cuttings in nutrient solution for 1 more day. They were abused enough working hydroton out of roots.

I wrapped the 2 gallon buckets with panda film, and reflective tape, and put panda film skirts, over each of them. Would like to find an easy way to use mylar, over that, to reflect light back up. Did that in my small crappy setup, with flower boxes, and flower pots. Might just try a 4 x 5 piece of mylar, and cut where needed to slide over, and tape. I doubled lumens, doing that in small setup. Like 2000 from 400 watt. Also have mylar over the top, to reflect down, and keep heat up.

Be Well!!!
