Hello every one, just needed some help. Came home from being away for a few days and this is what happened. I had someone feeding them for me but skipped a day of watering.
Is this nute burn or not enough? Ph in coco soil was at 6.5-6.9 in spots. Any ideas folks are welcome. Thanks

Whats all that white stuff?

 

[Pterostychus]

again looks like thrips

[Pennywise]

Looks suspect

 

[Pterostychus]

When can I expect the white hairs to go away start forming into green buds? Today is day 25 of flower.

at least another 4-5 weeks ...

Thrips? Don't know what that is. As far as the white stuff I don't know other than from a little spray of water on them. Just got the ph down to5.8-6.0

 

[Pennywise]

Thrips are small insects

Ah ok Pennywise, no there isn't any bugs at all. When I got home from vac the ph was high. Could that cause a lockout of nutes?

 

[Pennywise]

Yes it can lockout, hopefully it was high ph. If it gets any worse let us know. It's showing signs of nute burn though.

Yes it was high ph, plus before I left it called for one time Top Booster as I'm using H&G nutes. This happened after I did add the booster. Ph now is good. Back off nutes a little maybe?

Or should I flush maybe? It's the start of the 5th week of flower thow.

 

[Pennywise]

Id flush the coco with mild nute solution ph to 5.8-6.0

Pennywise I have the ph at 5.8-6.0 right now. When you say flush with nutes do I mix up a fresh batch but just back off a little on the nutes then flush?

 

[Pennywise]

Yes go say 1/4 strength and flush until you get serious runoff

Thanks Pennywise I will get right at it and let you know how it goes in a few days. Thanks again!!

 

[Pennywise]

Thats the great thing about coco, if you run into trouble just flush it out with a mild nute solution ph'd within the coco range and "reset" the coco. Then increase your nutes slowly.

 

[Furcifer]

Run-off is usually between 6.0 and 6.9. I thought it might be because I don't water that often so nutes aren't coming through very frequently? Or possibly because they've out grown the max dosage rate?

6.0 is to low. Runoff meads to be 7ish. If not. Reapply at a higher pH level.
I don't use your brand of nutes. I did check and see if there were any issues posted on it. None bad, all good.

 

[Pennywise]

7.0 in coco will cause lockout if he isnt using ph perfect

 

[BudBoy2]

Sure does, guess that what happened to my mine!!

 

[Furcifer]

That's caused by pH fluctuation.
Yes it's a lock out.
Get pH under control. And, nutes along with environmental parameters. She will recover. Damage won't go away.
