I know, right? I'm such a sucker for ease, and have been using MC since they came out, but shits been sideways for a minute here. Too many issues to narrow down easily, but I'm hoping I can keep the MC in the mix. Dropping the feed strength back, and mostly beating the bugs back seems to be helping. All is not lost here yet!
Right now I'm gonna get some tupur as it's what I was using before the sunshine#4 that was given to me for my vegetable garden it has always been pront to oversaturation MC has always worked well with my tap water giving me good ph numbers the medium was the last thing I changed so I'm suspicious of it there is the possibility the bugs could of been in the sunshine#4 to begin with I had a real hard time getting them stopped too

I borrowed some fresh MC fro m a growmie I've got both long term as well as short term fact finding to do I'm really fond of single part nutrients & no additives a luxury that I've been able to enjoy using the MC one part nutrients
Can't beat the ease of a one-part that's for sure. (y) I still plan on using the MC v3? (white, dark specks) for my outdoor veggies and pHenohunts. Makes feeding a whole lot easier just dumping in a scoop and mixing.

MC is definitely not for everyone it has its issues & I'm referring to the 1-part here it smells like baby crap & clumps up in any container you store it in I have no issues mixing it up but some do for me using my tap water it works great mixes at 5.8 - 6.0 & rarely climbs past 6.1 after a week in the res making my ph meter almost obsolete been using it for 3 years with good results I really feel my problem is with my medium my growmie uses MC as well except he uses tupur instead of sunshine#4 without issue things started going south for me after popping the second bag of sunshine#4 so I strongly suspect something not right with it anyway that's where I'm gonna start I'll have a better idea after I root some clones & pot them

Last minute I decided to pull the plug & start new my luck hasn't been running too good lately I need to give it a break & take a deep breath
If this shit were easy everyone would be doing it. Take your time Herk. Step back, breath, get all your gear sanitized and start fresh. You'll comeback stronger than ever ? Like Frim already expressed, we're here to help.

Thanks I know you as well as a few others got my back & that means more to me than all my grows combined priceless to say the least just felt that trying to turn that plant around was futile

You should be nursing your foot and not the plant anyways. Theres plenty more seeds and grows ahead. If you need beans you know I got you when youre ready.

Dude, you had a f'n gangrenous limb.
Nursing a decrepid plant back to health is very, very seldomly worth the effort.
And, you had a f'n gangrenous limb! Who wants to be able to truthfully make that claim?
Mend up, clean up, reset, start fresh. In that order.
Start fresh, that Citrus Milf pack will make everything allllll better, when the time comes.

The 3x3 which was slated to be shut down & shipped out is now staying & is gonna be the first to fire back up it will be used to evaluate new strains & I'll be doing single plant grows in 5 gal. smart pots & soil nothing fancy just basic out of the bag stuff first move is to gut the tent , bomb it & start fresh the e&f is going I'll keep the scrog the pot will sit on the floow with a catch pan under it when I get a strain I like I will clone it & advance it to the 4x4 for a hydro/production run instead of wasting time on untested stuff in the 4x4 my first run is gonna be citrus milf which I plan on popping soon as my doctor says I can do some light work the reconfigure process should be easy 20210514_123932.jpg

I'd guess you've got to be gaining about a foot of head room removing the F&D from the 3x3 eh? Happy to hear your moving forward and doing better brother!
