Platform 9 4/20

@Nicky so noticed a couple leaves and am wondering if I should be concerned. What do you think the issue is and what should I look for or do? I did turn the light intensity up a bit and I noticed some tacoing so backed it down some. Also attempted to FIM the rest which I think ended up topping two bc I was rushing (and didn’t go back and reference your awesome post ) but we will manage and deal with what we got lol. Here’s some pictures with lights on so if ya need em off lmk. tell me what ya think.





They are hungry, light green and your starting to get calcium rusty spots on leafs. See that in the first picture?

Nicky also want to put out there I have been running higher humidity the past few days as I got some stuff drying as well. I notice a little transpiration on a few leaves so not sure with the combo of that and me turning lights up could also have caused a bit of burn.

No negative effects seen and your in veg so your plants are fine they can handle humidty

Ok so you think they want some more calcium. Should I just up part b or I also have just cal mag. And what would I up it to do you think? Only water once a day. Think it might need two?

What’s the last run off?they look a bit light green so definitely need calmag

Haven’t checked runoff in a bit , so I will in the AM and report back with you. Here some with lights off and flash on. Also what DLI do you think I should be at ? 30ish ?




Ohh those pictures look much different.

2nd last one will have the lowest run off is my Geuss the rest are fine I think.
That one pic did show calmag though so a check would be good.
Definitely feed cal mag they may be hungry calcium plants.

The DLI chart is the guideline, otherwise watch node spacing and shoot for 1/2" unless you wish to train and want more stretch then you would want less DLI to encourage stretch.

@nicky so I checked runoff yesterday on the big one showing the signs of deficiency on the leaves and it was 1400. I only had one container handy so that’s the one I checked. Is that in line with what it should be or I should expect? Gonna clean all the drain trays tonight so I can collect some good runoff and re test and check the others as well.

@Nicky @Hellraiser so i cleaned my saucers so I can get a good runoff ppm reading. Question for you is what should you expect the runoff to be? My other question is assuming it checks out ok or with in range how should I adjust the jacks to correct the issue ratio wise ? Thanks in advance!

@Nicky @Hellraiser So checked runoff this AM and runoff ppms came in around 1250-1300. all ppms going in were 980-1000. I meant to check runoff ph but for some strange reason I forgot​:joy::sunglasses: :dash:. What do ya think I should change?

That’s a good place to be for runoff, plants look great, keep doing what you’re doing.

Run off is good, a clean collection pan is ideal yes.

So you think I should just continue regular jacks and watch the leaves and make sure it doesn’t progress? Think it needs twice a day watering maybe?

It’s very rare they need twice a day and they arnt big enough. I think keep doing what your doing.

@Nicky hey what auto pot system to you have ? Or did you build one?

I have the ones you can’t get anymore lol…

The one you want is spring pot (their version of fabric) with a 25 gallon reservoir if your running 4 plants… Min.

Curious on the maintenance of it as well. How often do you recommend cleaning , do you have to treat the reservoir or anything , have ya had any floods or issues ?

Just wanted to put up a little update. Everything seems to be going fairly smooth. Main hurdle here will be to keep the canopy’s somewhat even. Knew this was going to be a challenge going into it , so hopefully I’ll be able to manage :joy:. Trying not to stress about any little leaf spot but have noticed a few different things so just watching to make sure nothing progresses so hopefully nothing does I won’t be back with any bad news. Here’s a couple tent shots in the meantime. My blue dream seems to be showing heavy indica traits. Anyone else seen or grown a similar blue dream? Also a little trunk porn from the jack herer
