These plants are in my current grow and they are starting to look less like lush ladies than they did.




They are on slightly more than half strength nutes, 3ml FNB to the gallon to be exact. In addition to the pictures, you should know that the plants leaves, especially old growth, are curling up under the leaves. The veins are dark green, and between them is a pale yellow color. Also, look very carefully at the stem on the second pic, and you'll see it looks pinched at a point. It actually snapped and fell over somehow, and is now being held up by a hydroton ball.

if i was u this is just me i'd leave the fnbloom for now m8 and just feed water with tiny little bit of nutes grow not bloom the thats me i could be wrong and how long and when ya feeding times

I would say that "slightly more than half strength nutes" is a bit too strong for them, they look to have a bit of nute burn going on. Also how close is the light to them? Cos one pic (it's hard to be sure cos of the hps being on when you took the pic) looks like it might have some bleaching from the light being too close.

I really dont know much about hydro growing, so hopefully someone who does will come read this, but they will probably need a little more info.

Thanks. Flora Nova Bloom in the dosage I'm using it follows the lucas formula, but I think I added too many nutes too soon.


The light was probably too close for these guys about 24 hours ago, but it now rests at a safe 2 feet with some good air circulation. How do you think I should thin the nutrients in the res?

I am getting a ppm meter very shortly, so I will be able to tell how properly to feed them, but until then, should I give them just water?

not sure m8 about dyluting ya nutes in ya res i'd have said do a new res with out ya nutes well(bloom) anyway when lights out but i could'nt say for sure someone with hydro could prob tell you alot more m8 have a nose about the hydro section

I would say to empty the res and give them some ph adjusted water for a mo. If you dont have an ec pen it is really hard to be sure the nute strength is ok. They are too small to having a bloom nute it is way out of balance for their needs.

Thanks for the advice. I already ordered a pen, should arrive in a couple days. I also already drained the res and filled it with 6.5 pH water that has been sitting out for two days. I'll let everyone know how it plays out.
