New Grower Cheese Auto SOLO

b_the_s · 2020-08-31T07:00:28+00:00

Paging Dr Green, paging Dr Green We have a New grower who started 3 autos at the end of April, beat the shit out of them, couldnt kill em, one still to be harvested, got 3.1oz dried and curing from the other two plants and because I'm allowed 4 but didnt really have room I joined a Solo cup challenge around the beginning of July. I don't want to carry this guy over the finish line in a stretcher like I did the previous ones. Patient Triage Report -Problem: leaves spotting / drying / dying -Medium/grow method: soil; Promix HP in a SOLO cup -Feed and supplements used: Green Planet Nutrients Dual Fuel system (6 bottles!) plus ProCal at 1.5 ml / L. Final concentration 700-800 ppm (0.5 scale) at 5.8-6.2 pH -Water source: tap- dechlorinated -Strain and age: Cheese Auto at Day 28 of flower -Climate: 22-25C 40-50%RH (sharing space with another cheese auto to be harvested this week) - Light used: SF1000 (100W LED QB) 24" from tops -Additional info: interveinal spotting started weeks ago then abated with addition of ProCal calmag additive, then a cool road trip with low temps 2 weeks ago left her with dark spots on leaves which cleared up 24 after the return to the grow box and in the last 48 hours more spotting (tho different than the first time) and burned leaves. Also, last week was battling fungus gnats with a 1tsp / L neem oil soil drench every 2nd day. What do you think? Don't say pot up, that defeats the purpose of the Solo cup. Really saw increased damage yesterday Saturday measured runoff for the first time in a while - 950ppm, been feeding 700-800 with every water (about 22 hours to dry the cup now) Runoff ph was 6.1 I always water the cup with 25-50% runoff so I don't think salt buildup but is it possible? Or too much calcium? I've been supplementing with calcium with good results through veg. (1.5ml / L) time to quit? Scale back? Oh yeah and so yesterday I just gave water to 50% runoff at pH of 6 and runoff was 6.1 and 222 ppm. Start alternating feed with waterings? This was last Wednesday This is now. Thanks in advance to AFN healthcare

Today fed just less than 1/2 strength 0.8 EC / 405ppm / 6.0 pH to almost 50% runoff
Runoff approx 50% 1.3 EC / 630ppm 6.5 pH
Plant does not look worse.
