Venturi’s Northern Lights Auto DWC 2022 Remix

[Venturisix]

@PlanetJ i was worried but what you think about the spots? I think it was the humidifier. The color on the other hand I’m in the dark about

 

[FelipeBlu]

8ml calmag
4ml bloom
6ml grow
1.5ml micro

Hola V6

Are you using GH? (I’m high and lazy and didn’t go back searching lol)

Na it’s my hydro shops home made. It’s like gh in many ways

As far as numbers
Grow is 2-1-6
Micro 5 0 1
Bloom 0 5 4

Hey Vent, sorry, I really don't want to give you more to think about...but. I don't remember you writing much about your LED lighting, except that you're already at 100% intensity. What LED lamp are you using, and how high above your plants is it? I recently read an article written by someone from Electric Sky. They were highly cautioning against too great an intensity too early. He also went on to say keep the lamp minimum 36in above and no more than 75% intensity until flowering starts. Then you can increase to full power.

Apologies, I can't tell the difference between uno, dos, tres without a pic showing all 3 together. Your plants are really vigorous, but there's clearly something wrong. Spots, mottling, clawing and am I seeing some brown leaf tips? Is it just the 1 single plant showing these signs, or all 3? Forgive me but those leaves should be standing out like boners, but even the growing tips look droopy.

Maybe go back to basics. Back off on the light intensity, keep your nutrient level at "moderate" and maybe discontinue the humidifier use, unless you're certain it's necessary because of your dry environment.

Cheers dude

On the Micro, is there 4.7% urea as part of the N? If so, it’s probably just rebranded GH. I can’t really see a small grow shop using urea.

So the clawing was maybe from a week or so ago. The past res change. I could take away the humidifier I’m just worried maybe it will be too low. I’m using the @ViparSpectra p2000 and only kicked it to 100 once for a day, and again recently. I can drop it to 75. Right now I believe they’re sitting about 25 inches away. You’re probably correct though I should have it 75 till I see some flower. I did number the pics on the last go around. The only one with the real issue is one. She’s next to the humidifier. Weeks ago, the one farthest from the humidifier was where one is now, and got burned with vapor for sure. She’s stunted and the smallest. I’ll have to check in the urea later.

I still think the spots and mottling are centralized to the humidifier vicinity plant.
I’m in week 5 or 6 now and had figured there would be flower soon and probably jumped the gun on nute changes and light height. At this stage in the game if i took away humidifier would they be cool with 30-40% rh?

Here’s some pre tuck pics I don’t see much of the problems here edit: except some clawing

There isn’t any discoloration, motting or much anything else except for this quadrant on one. Near the humidifier. If this was present anywhere else, than these few leaves; I’d be more worried. When I came in the entire plant was dripping wet. I think I got off easy tbh

Week 6
9ml calmag
3ml micro
1 ml grow
6ml bloom

FYI - this provides (I assumed the CalMag was identical to GH Calimagic):

69 ppm N (rather low)
35 ppm P (okay)
72 ppm K (low - should be at least 150 for the age of these plants)
158 ppm Ca (too much - including what’s in your water, there shouldn’t be more than 100 to 125 ppm)
61 (okay)

In my opinion, a better mix would be:

6ml/gal Calimagic
2ml Micro
15ml Grow
2ml Bloom

This would provide:

121 ppm N
28 ppm P
219 ppm K
106 ppm Ca
51 ppm Mg

The only thing on micro 4.7 is “nitrate nitrogen” there is no urea stated. It does mention calcium nitrate.

 

[Venturisix]

Update time. Light is back to 75% and near 30 inches. Humidifier is off. We’re looking hella bushy and that’s a little concerning lol

Excellent! That is a definite improvement over GH!

Sweet. Yea there’s some derivatives from sea salt, hummus, some compost tea. I figured it was good stuff. Was cheaper than gh too

That really helps! The cal mag I’m using is the gh I believe. I’ll have to check later. 6ml a gallon seems extreme though. I think it calls for 3ml a gallon

Weren’t you using 9ml above? Are you using tap water or RO?

 

[Venturisix]

I got 9ml total not per gallon

Weren’t you using 9ml above? Are you using tap water or RO?

I have been reducing numbers but clearly not doing something right. I started on city water but now I’m on ro water

 

[Venturisix]

I think I’ll go ahead and try to res change all of them today and I’m going to look deeply In the numbers and will likely go with you’re suggestions @FelipeBlu

Switching to grow bloom schedule was premature I can see clearly
