Seedstockers - Sherbet Auto

[2-Scoops]

about 50% of res empty and ph after 4 days has risen from 6.0 to 6.5ph

6.5ph is sound Wu so long as it doesn't climb any higher. Way back I used to my whole grows running at 6.5ph, no problemo mate.

looking good man, will be coming to you and @Cave Hill Cole for advice once i get my autopot system up and running. shouldnt be too long now as i think @Point 5 only has a few weeks to go now.

Nice one. I certainly have a few tips already.

Deffo add 2inches of clay pebbles at the bottom or ensure that the pebbles sit higher than th3 water would in the trays.. I suspect I had root rot in my rucu cucu because of thar which r3sult3d in issues.

Other thing which I'm sure you know anyway is not to drown them in the 15l lots...initial/early stages 200 to 300ml per day by hand is good.

Peace bro

Shes starting to look yellow and paling up at the top. Please dont say this is round two of fockery




Difficult to see but to the left of the filter. There is salt sediments at the bottom of res...could this have anything to do with it?

[2-Scoops]

Nah i very much doubt those salts aren't nowt to worry over, man I've never washed a pot out that's got white salt rims and such like in my life. I would check run off if at all possible, i know its a tough one but yes if its sky high it maybe worth bringing it down. If you not got an ec pen to test it then it still maybe worth running it through with plenty of water. Id maybe give it a run through with a fresh mix of your silver bullet last before putting it back in your system as well if you do the flush thing. When mixing silver bullet to do this mix it in slight warm water it should help getting fizzing or bubbling up a bit quicker i know it does with h202. But flushing it through might be best option just to see smell of roots as well. Best advice i can give ya mate.

Sure looks like its struggling to flower as well to me, man its had little pom-pom buds and hairs for ages now hasn`t it or am i tripping and its not been in flower too long ?

Hey bud

Just started week 9 from seed. She had a stunted start for a week or 2 if I recall correctly.

She's still stretching dude and growing from what I can see. Feks sake lol. I thought at least one plant be good

I'm going to strip out pk13/14 on next res fill. It's an old bottle so maybe that's causing salts like that and also causing strange lock out type issues. That's the only thing the remains in the "mix" so to speak. Salts were present before silver bullets.

Just so I haven't gone barmy.

2.5ml/l is 50ml in a 20l bucket
0.5ml/l is 10ml in a 20l bucket.

Faccck lol

My EC pen fuked me too. I'll have to buy. New one.

Water only starts tomorrow

Advanced Nutrients Revive - anyone used it? Is it worth getting some or is silver bullets enough?

There's been some good reviews about it where people's plants have been in a leaf yellowing state like mine and this has brought it back to life. I dunno

Yes it was for a few weeks or so which makes me think it could be struggling to bloom. If ya didn't have other auto in id just flip the fucker to bloom on 12/12, well i would if those pom-pom buds weren't getting any bigger. But if you think its flowering ok now just let it do its thing.

2.5ml/l is 50ml in a 20l bucket
0.5ml/l is 10ml in a 20l bucket.

Yes that sounds ok but id drop it down once its stopped stretching like mad and in full bloom to around 2ml a ltr.

My EC pen fuked me too. I'll have to buy. New one.

. Mine was only about a £5ver on e-bay. I've had it time now, it measures EC & PPM, tis just a cheap Chinese thing that take's temps as too and it works well, I've had it time now, i only use it as guide from time to time but tis ideal to help get to bottom of certain problems if they arise from time to time. Their looks to be some half decent ones for about £18 that also do PH as well as rest just said.

Advanced Nutrients Revive

This doesn't sound like anything special to me, i might be wrong though, but i can`t see it doing anything your current A&B wont do, it sounds kinda like a jazzy calmag, i mean adding adding some fulvic to your a&b fert regime will help with uptake and also help chelate them as it binds with different elements in your ferts, so yes it dont look like nowt special and its not gonna do anything to revive them if it is a root-rot typo problem but silver bullet should help with that. Hopefully its nothing to worry over, time will tell hey.

Keep an eye on those leaves for a dead scabby look to them, what with plant being so big but i cant see why it would be calcium deficiency with fert strength your feeding and ferts being used they have more than enough calcium in to supply plant.

If you dont flush pot back Wu, cus i can see its gonna be a real bummer to do what with size of plant, well I'd defo give it or both a good drench through tops with some of that silver bullet and water mix, at least it will get to all roots in pots then done that way, then just carry on as you were planning to give it in your tank. When mixing silver bullet do it in a jug or summink of warm water first before adding to a bucket of water or your tank and give it a good stir and then add it tank or water and stir again, let it sit half hour before giving to plants, i would say by doing this, well by time you give it to plants i would say it should or will be bubbling in the water and full of tiny added oxygen bubbles from reaction with h202 in the silver bullet, give it a full dose as well this way. Silver bullet in your fert mix will also help with uptake of ferts for at least 5 or 6 hours till all h202 is depleted from it and turned in to oxygen. Maybe just half fill your tank so your refilling it more frequently and adding silver bullet more often just so h202 is being added from silver bullet cus i cant see h202 being in the mix for long periods, it soon becomes depleted within hours does h202. I would say its the h202 in silver bullet that does most damage when killing of pathogens a lot faster than rest of ingredients in bottle.

My take on silver bullet is the h202 in it should kill of any nasties and rest of stuff in bottle (some sort of cheap silver) is more to prevent shit recurring which is why i would think its a longer lasting treatment in your mix than standard h202, im prolly wrong though on that knowing me, tis just how i see it

Hey @2-Scoops

That stuff don't fizz in my water?

I've just filled up again

2.5ml a and b

I've not given pk13/14 this time as I'm eliminating to see if I get that major Salt build up in the res. I cleaned the res like mad before putting new feed in.

I ran the tap for at least 500ml out into a pot, some salt build up film type stuff came out and it was cloudy. Then clear so hopefully that's cleared the lines out a little.

I've read that top feeding after its established in the autopot will bring the salt at top to the bottom and cause more issues..so I'm going to avoid that..as you're right, it's a big fucker. No chance I'm dragging that out.

Also when I emptied the res...I used some plastic buckets in the garage I used last time I flushed out. And in the water from the res, I saw these white mites in the water.. only a few at top tho. My two theories;

1. They were in the bucket alr3ady post me flushing the rucu cuc pot in them.

2. They were in the res..but I've never seen anything swimming around in the last few days, so I'm thinking th3 former.

Cheers for the ph and ec pen..I keep thinking they'll be crappie coz they cheap..but I can always calibrate.

Almost I'm seeing these marks on a few leaves that have yellowed
