Week two of flowering (56 days since soaking seeds) was uneventful. I noticed very little change. I was out of town for two days and unable to closely monitor the solution conditions. When I left, pH was 6.0 and 500ppm and when I got back, pH had dropped to 4.3 and 240ppm. The photos are from when I returned.
I assume I need to up the nutrients but wanted to do it slowly. When mixing the solution, the more nutrients that I added to the distilled water, the lower the pH fell. I thought that was odd, but the best balance I could get was 5.5 pH with 525ppm. I ordered a bottle of ph Up, waiting on that.
I replaced half of the water in my basin. When I checked today pH had risen to 6.1 with 388ppm. Leaves are looking a little better and perking up a bit, but hoping to get the plant.s looking a lot healthier

Grow Questions
bmvapestarted grow question 6 years ago
The plants colors look healthy and about 8 flowering sites appearing on NL and 3 on WW. However, the leaves, particularly on the NL look to curl under. I've been having little trouble keeping the pH in the 5.5 - 6.5 range, seems to drop to the mid 4s daily, but fix quickly.

@bmvape In order to diagnose your plants you need the right information! Plants have 2 types of nutrients called mobile and immobile nutrients. Immobile nutrients CANT be moved around the plant and due to this the symptoms show directly on the newer growth where the deficiency is active. The other type of nutrient is Mobile. Mobile nutrients can be pulled from the lower leaves to be given to the newer growth up top as a survival method so they show symptoms on the bottom side of the plant first. Your plant is experiencing a SEVERE case of Chlorosis(Yellowing) and Necrosis(death) in the leaves. Its obvious that your plant is dying some Nutrient deficiencies, but what might not be so obvious is why. You mentioned replacing the water in your basin - doing this lowers the Nutrients in the water and replaces it with more water! This is not good! Never swap out water without replacing the nutrients! To better help your plants recover you will want to replace what the plant drinks then PH the Basin to 5.8 EVERY SINGLE DAY. Then Once a week swap out ALL the Basin with more water+nutrients. This is the ONLY way for your plant to recover and if you do this she will recover.

Regarding flushing, specifically in hydroponics - should you do 48 hours of darkness during last two days of flushing, and should you deprive plants of water before harvest? (if so, just drain basin?)

In principle, the 48 hours of darkness are meant to signal to the plant that it reaches the end of its cycle .............. Regarding the rinsing, I recommend that you Flush 4 days and then give 48 hours of darkness ........... ..)
