With help from a few here on 420 I think I have found the cause of my problems. First, I chose the wrong type and size of bucket. Works out that I have a 40 ounce rez but with the perlite it appears that my rez only holds about 16 ounces of nutes. The plant uses that quick and the rez winds up dry during the day. Also the heat helps in the evaporation because the plant transpires at a much higher rate due to the heat, the plant is trying to cool itself down. The heat is due in part to my choice of tent 3'x2'x5'. It is too short (5" tall) and that makes the Mars II 700W light is too close. My plant is 1 foot tall and the canopy is only 28" below the light. I thought I had planned this better. I have made changes and I am already seeing my girl make the changes to to the symptoms she was showing. I'll be feeding twice a day until I correct all the symptoms. Again thanks to the many here that helped, that means you Peyton. Stumped, KingJohnC, LA and Spimp you guys were so very helpful too. It's good to have experienced growers that want to help us newbies. I can't wait to have enough experience to give help and the calming effect like that friendly help I have received here on 420.
