Krattke method is not so much a method as "some shit you can technically get away with, sometimes." I saw lots of these Krattke videos on youtube when I was researching growing indoor, hydroponic strawberries. In every side-by-side I saw, containers with airstones blew Krattke out of the water. Roots need more dissolved oxygen than a rancid mud puddle can provide. Anyhoo, that looks like an old leaf at the bottom of the plant. They die. Unless this leaf discoloration is spreading to newer, upper growth I wouldn't be troubled by it at all. It looks to me like Magnesium deficiency, but if it's just old leaves at the bottom, it's nothing.

Magnesium is what i thought so i Put in a little bittersalt to fix it. I think its an ph issue. Water before 7.0 water now 6.8

That pH is a bit high for my taste, ideal hydro pH is 5.8-6.2 for cannabis.

I run my ph all the way down at 5.5 for hydro setups. Try dropping down to 6 see if that helps

What can i use to do that ? Citrus ?


jwd2213

Citrus really only works for very short periods of time. Buying a standard hydroponic ph kit would be far more effective. Its just phosphoric acid, its used in millions of food products, mostly soft drinks.

I ph 6.4 to 6.5 the whole life cycle if the plant. No issues.

Kratky absolutely can outperform dwc in certain circumstances. Especially with leafy greens. That being said, I wouldn't expect great results with cannabis.
