It's ok. We'll sort this out sooner or later.
That’s the same problem. I use ro water and had this problem in dwc and flood & drain . First I upped the MC and really turned yellow ! @MrSauga caught the problem and the fastest fix was to feed 5.6 phed water and nutrients for the next three days. That yellow will turn green by then .

The Hashplant D's....
They've been transplanted....
It's a tight fit in the veg tent now. I'm expecting to lose a couple more soon. Notice that there are only 7 plants now. We had another turn out to be a male so I've put it to one side....
Those are 5lt pots and we're in a cheap compost....

Thanks West Hippie. I'll give it a try and see if we see any positive results. It's just weird how fast the ph was rising
Looking great Prof! I hope your well

Now these are doing well. I've been really looking forward to seeing these flower.
The dwc which is just 4 gallons is wearing me out , it’s taking 3/4 to a gallon of ro water a day now and taking in over 100 ppm of nutrients a day .
My ro water has a ph of 7.3 -7.5 with the MC it usually brings the ph to 5.7 . 24 hours later it’s at 6.1 so I just left it and it slowly rose to 6.3 before I brought it down . I just kept repeating just letting the ph go then the new growth came out yellow .

Thanks for the break down on the Wilma system prof it does look like a pretty simple setup and I'm sure the plants love it when it's dialed in. Sorry your having ph issues I'm not alot of help with suggestions on what to do I am so new to the hydro growing I hope you get it sorted soon.
Hashplants are very nice looking will be some nice plants in flower. Years ago my brother in law grew some hashplant and it was very strong I gave it to a few unseasoned smokers I knew and they thought it was laced lol.

All is good buddy. Just run into a minor/major issue which needs addressing. Hope you're enjoying the holiday season. The rest is just relaxin going for me from now until work starts again. I feel far too old to be going out for the NYE celebrations lol. Good to hear from you buddy
apologies WH. I fell asleep before I had the chance to reply. It happens a lot to me lol. Well I changed the res yesterday at about 3pm. The ph was set to 5.7 so the first thing I did this morning was go and check to see if it had risen again. It was as 6.7 already. It looks like I may have to adjust it twice daily. Here's a question. If I'm using phosphoric acid as a ph down. Can you use too much of it? For example if I'm adjusting constantly by adding more and more acid is there a point at which the res becomes dangerous for your plants?
My pleasure N. I just wish I could show you it working properly lol. Worst salesman ever! If it is the MegaCrop causing the issue then I have MasterBlend as a backup. I could fill the res with that to see if there is a difference. The plants look worse today so if there's no sign of improvement then I'll try that tomorrow.
Penny recommended those Hashplants. They do look lovely and I'm sure we'll have something special by the end. I'm a sucker for the chem strains and I don't grow enough of them.
My dwc only I have to change it daily . It only takes 1 mL or just wet the spoon and can bring it down to 5.6-5.8 . I put the dwc in an empty bucket while I adjust the ph , I was afraid the acid would hurt the roots ! I know every time I have to hit it with ph down it kills off my Z7 !
My flood&drain 20 gallon reservoir has no problem being adjusted one time ! I have total control of the ph . Stays static to what ever you adjust it to .

Hey mate. Are you storing your ph pen in distilled water?

I've probably been adding too much as I've been battling to keep the ph low. The res of this system is only 25ltr and I've lowered it again since my last comment on here. If there's no change by tomorrow I'll try either the MasterBlend nutrients or the Canna nutes I have in reserve.
Normally yes but sometimes I find it on the floor in the morning as I forget to put it away. I never used to keep the pens in distilled water as they're cheap and I expected them to break after a couple of grows anyway. This pen I've actually been trying to look after properly
"DO NOT soak or store any pH probes in purified water like distilled water, deionized water, or reverse osmosis water since it could cause damage to the pH electrode and the tester could give erratic readings. Rinsing the probes in purified water is a good practice. Just don't store them in purified water. If you accidentally store the probe in purified water, try storing the probe in 3M KCL storage solution for 48 hours and see if the tester can perform in a normal state."
I bought storage solution from Amazon back when I used the pH pen.
Great question Lew!
Should I always keep my pH electrode soaked in storage solution?
The only Apera pH electrodes that must be always stored in storage solutions and can be damaged if stored dry are the ones that use Polymer electrolytes, such as our electrodes for PH60S, PH60S-Z, LabSen 763 and LabSen 753. These electrodes are ...

Hey 420. It's time for a Wilma update to see how the veg plants are doing. Well, I'd say about the same. It's like they're dying as fast as they're growing and are stuck in some sort of limbo.
I just caught your post about not keeping the pen in distilled water. My bad. I thought it was good practice. I can always get another if need be.
Here's the plants today. You can see that they're still getting larger but the damage is also spreading. It appears as if there are several symptoms with Nitrogen toxicity being one of the most noticeable. We will get this show underway....

The tidier looking mothers. I like the Fat Purple. I really need to flower her soon else I'll never know what it's actually like lol. The Black Kush looks like a very nice little plant again. Hopefully we can sort out the Wilma grow soon and actually see what these strains are like....
