Sorry should have included my actual light. I think it’s the 300 watt ts Mars hydro light. I’ve got a 4 inch extraction fan running at 100% and it’s just not enough to extract all the heat from the light
Plant is a clone of a clone. It’s probably 1 year from seed. Those clones are probably 1.5 months old. The light is a 300w mars hydro running at 70%. No idea on the genetics. The guy I got it off called it the rapist lol.
Did you know that you don't have to use nutes that stain your roots the same color as root disease? I'm only asking because it seems like nobody knows this.
As far as I can tell they’re still locked out. They’re drinking heaps of water but as the water level goes down the ec goes up. I assum this is because they’re locked out? Still yellowing leaves near the top of the plant.
Ditch the bottle and put reflective insulation on the top and the sides of the bucket if you’re having temp issues. Also don’t have the air pump in the tent if it is.
Temps are 28-30 outside the tent unfortunately so even with beneficial bacteria I don’t think that’s really an option. Before I put the bottles in my roots were just rotting and fucked
If the nutrient solution is 25 degrees as well you are going to have problems. Shouldn't let it get over 22 or you are asking for root rot especially if any light is hitting the root zone.
Looks hungry to me, week 5 is close to peak metabolism. It's not going to start the senescence fade till it's getting ready to die. And that's more leaf discoloration than nutrient deficiency pattern which this is
That’s what I’m thinking too but the purple on the leaves was throwing me off. I reckon I was giving too much nutes in soil now there’s salts in the soil causing PH to rise. I’ll flush then go back to half strength
A pollinated pistil will start to shrivel pretty fast once it's done the job of moving the dna down to the ovary. Those look perky - when did you blow the pollen over them?
That's what you're looking for - each one will probably produce a seed. For the record, you want to fan the pollen very gently to throw it about to get more coverage than by dropping it?
You need Better air exchange if you are having heat issues.

So invest in a 6inch instead of another light would be my advice
Fair enough. Thanks man
Make sure you’re not going too heavy handed on the nutes
I did just bump up the nutes so maybe that was it. It was only nitrogen though so i would think the leaves would be darker
Eg. how much light? Watering practices? How old is the plant? What ph, ec and ppm? What genetics?

What size tent?
80x80x180
Sacred seeds. Based in qld. Great new seed farm.
You got a link for these guys?
Did you know that you don't have to use nutes that stain your roots the same color as root disease? I'm only asking because it seems like nobody knows this.
I know this now but this was my first time buying hydro nutes unfortunately
As far as I can tell they’re still locked out. They’re drinking heaps of water but as the water level goes down the ec goes up. I assum this is because they’re locked out? Still yellowing leaves near the top of the plant.
Forgot to mention ph is sitting at 5.5-5.8

Water temps increase dissolved oxygen decreases even with an air pump this can lead to lock out
I see. That makes sense if it keeps getting worse I’ll grab a bigger bucket and see how it goes
Hope you are feeding them more than just silica?
Yeah sorry. Canna aqua Vega a+b, canna cal mag, and silica
Sounds like you have it under control are you watching ph and ec or just winging it? Those are the 2 things that can trip you up real quick with dwc
Yeah measuring ec. This one was around 1.2 so I’ve increased the nutes as well as adjusting PH
I would add CalMag even if using tap water for your DWC
I see. Thank you
Forgot to add. It seems to have started from/ be worst at the top of the plant
Coco coir!
Yeah that’s on the cards I reckon
I’d definitely look into SAGFF or Hydroguard
Unfortunately I can’t get either of those in my country as far as I’m aware
First of all, what’s your water temps like?
Water temps are around 25-28 usually. I might give additional bennies a try I’m trying to avoid buying a chiller due to the price
Roots look okay but the plant is stretchy. Also no point using myco in dwc.
Yeah it’s a clone I got from a friend and I got her like that, once the roots thicken I’m gonna top her and hope she thickens up.
What size are your containers
16L
Maybe potassium deficiency?
That’s what I was thinking too. Google says soak some banana peels then water with the banana water. Is that a good idea?
Green aphid I think
Gay that looks like them. Will neem oil help?
what is the relative humidity? Mine look the same when it's too low.
Rh is at 50% so I think that should be okay?
Is it drooping all the time or only close to lights out time?
Yeah all the time. Right now they’re drooping and lights have been on for about 6 hours
Anything from mesiseedman is white lable trash. They are ILGM, i suggest stay away from them. Try 7eastgenetics.
My main concern with ordering international is getting it through customs though. Ive heard most don’t make it
Ppl on Reddit go crazy waiting for harvest or anything they can cram in a pipe. It's stupid to me.
This was a joke lol. Don’t try smoke anything like it’s crack.. unless it is crack
Don't even smoke crack period
Someone’s gotta do it
Did they guy put a trip killer in ur bag aswell? Thats some customer care 😂😂😂
5mg Valium would be a pretty shit trip killer lol
Have you grown DWC before? What's the growth now vs what it's supposed to be?
Nah first time growing DWC but it’s growing slower than other times where I’ve grown in soil. From what I’ve heard it should be faster?
Water temperature is one of the most important things for dwc. You keeping that measured? Want 18-22c 24/7
Yeah it’s pretty much always sitting around 22c
I’m trying dwc for the first time and I’m having some issues. The growth on the plant seems really slow and the bottom leaves died off.
If the nutrient solution is 25 degrees as well you are going to have problems. Shouldn't let it get over 22 or you are asking for root rot especially if any light is hitting the root zone.
Nah it’s 25 in the tent but the nutrients sit around 20-22
Looks hungry to me, week 5 is close to peak metabolism. It's not going to start the senescence fade till it's getting ready to die. And that's more leaf discoloration than nutrient deficiency pattern which this is

Is it really week 5? Buds look more developed.
Honestly I forgot when I flipped haha. But I pollinated them so all the pistils are already brown and they’ve puffed out more then they would
A pollinated pistil will start to shrivel pretty fast once it's done the job of moving the dna down to the ovary. Those look perky - when did you blow the pollen over them?
It was about 24 hours ago. I did notice that some of the pistils on the top that I sprinkled it on are more shrivelled than the others
That's what you're looking for - each one will probably produce a seed. For the record, you want to fan the pollen very gently to throw it about to get more coverage than by dropping it?
Ahh okay. Thanks for the info. I was just making it up as I went along coz I noticed that even though they popped I couldn’t see pollen anywhere
How’d you get seeds in Australia?
