hey radic my ec is running at about 2.2 but when i took those photos i think it was about 1.4 my ph is sitting at 6.0 and has been the whole time its been growing what do you think my ec should be sitting at and is my ph alrite?

well hears a photo of the system its in

 

[Radic]

whatz the tempeture in there???????

high grow room tempz will cause dem to suffer like dat too

low grow room temps must be maintained

[dirtyman]

yeh this is the pic that i dont no if its light burn or nutrient problem?

it never gets higher then 27 in there because i have an aircon running most the time its sitting at about 23.8 rite now i only changed the nutes yesterday and got the new ec reading i also bort this stop wilt stuff and added it to the tank yesterday just waiting for sum results

[Radic]

if the grow room tempeture reaches 30c at ant time that the lights are on

than

yes that is too hot and will start to burn leaf just like dat

[Radic]

imho

it is safer to aim at the lower end of the recomened EC levels

 

what is recomened on the bottle of nutirents your useing??????

it should state two levels to aim for

the lower one is the safest and will be fine for young plants

the top one is a hoter mix for more mature plants

 

you have young plants

i would recomend a lighter side of thr recomended rate

and as the wks go by mix a bit hoter

gardually increasing each mix

till you finally get dem up to max mix

it just says run ec between 1.0 to 2.0 higher then tap water for fast vego growth or .5 to 1.0 higher then tap water for clones and root formations so shood i add a bit more water into the tank and try drop the ec to 2.0 do u think it might be me spraying the leaves abit to much in one day that burnt it a bit coz not all the leaves look like that

[dirtyman]

i just tested my tap water and the ec is .3 so that makes my mix 1.9 stronger so do u think i shood put some more water in and make it 1.5 higher then the tap water

[Radic]

spraying the leaves abit to much in one day that burnt it a bit coz not all the leaves look like that

yes that is it for sure

never spray the leaves undre lights cause the water on the leaf acts as a magnifing glass overhearting the plant and causing it to transpire <---thats how plants sweat they actually lose water that way and burn from the lights

 

it is recomended to

only spray at the begining and end of the light cycle

never in the middle

 

do u think i shood put some more water in and make it 1.5 higher then the tap water

 

in most cases --->yes

but it is up to you if you want to push dem that hard or not

 

and the strain

some strains perform better with a hot mix

does it have a recomended rate for seedlings???

if so follow that plan
