Grow Timeline (14 updates)
Woke up to spots on one leaf, looks like it's about to start on another leaf π I looked it up and most likely from calcium deficiency or too high pH, I use RO water so I thought the pH was in a safe zone, so now I gotta be more vigilant. So do I flush with more cal mag only or flush with plain RO water then next watering I add the correct amount of cal mag?
Always PH. How much calmag per liter are you feeding them? If you do flush, use just water with a PH between 6.3 and 6.6 if possible (my personal practice).
I just flushed with RO water pH of 6.2, I checked the runoff the pH was around 7.0, Im most definitely sure I was using way less cal mag then the recommend usage, I just slightly bumped up the grams of cal mag from when it was in a solo cup, that was my mistake
Do I have to restart the microbes and add more fertilizer after i flush? I'm using Dr earth veg and tomato as base nutrients
Iβd just start running the right ph flushing is like a last ditch effort for me . I learned that on my own it knocks everything off .not that easy of fix to recover from a flush . Thatβs mainly for toxicity is when I flush just do as normal start ph in . I really like lotus ph up down itβs a powder form last forever. This my opinion
U look good on cal mag if u ask me
I've done that with the calmag. I keep it at 1 ml per liter now and it seems to be working. Keep your watering/feeding plan and adjust the calmag. I bet she bounces back quick
Is Lotus pH down organic?
Your in lock out mode brother ur runoff is 7 then ur mix is 7.0 plus you need to do a slurry soil ph test its 2+1 water to soil make sure ur water is at 6.5ph get the soil test first then go from there to figure out how low you need to bring ur ph to and make sure you get about 30 to 40% run off put a towel tere so it soaks it up rite away and dont soak up the salts u just got ride of
Soil test sounds about right, thanks big homie π€π€ I'll check on her when lights come back on
Any of y'all have any success with potassium bicarbonate as pH up?
No
Do not and I repeat do not try to water or flush again for a minimum 3 days or you will over water and cause more harm then there is and [(( MAKE SURR YOU USE 6.5 P.H BALANCED WATER NOT 6.4,6.1,6,3 IT HAS TO BE 6.5 LET SIT IN MIX FOR ATLEAST 15 MIN TO GET A READING I WAIT 30 AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT FAST I AM A ORGANIC LIVING SOIL GROWER IF YOU NEED HELP FEEL FRE TO HIT ME UP
Ight π€ what do use to adjust the pH?
Okay I'll wait a couple days and see how the soil is then
That is definitely leaf septoria I just got done dealing g with it i had to look again. Sorry
General hydroponic PH DOWN she have never let me down but always got me down and rite hahah
Thanks π€I ordered a bottle hopefully it arrives soon, I meant to ask if you had any success with citric acid for pH down? But it just drifts back up so I won't be using CA anymore
Okay I made a potassium bicarbonate foiler spray and gave my lady light shower not drenched, so I'll keep up on the soil test and manage the humidity better
When growing in soil if u KEEP WATERING AT 6.5 PH IT WILL LOCK YOU OUT AFTER A FEW WEEKS SO WHAT I DO IS WATER AT 6.0 PH AND IT DRIFTS TO 6.7 BUT I AM HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME WITH MY SOIL P P H BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT MY ROOM IS SO DIALED IN THAT THE PLANTS ARE DRINKING THE WATER FASTER THAN THEY CAN UPTAKE THE NUTRIENTS WHICH IS CAUSING LOCK OUT
Gonna up pot soon this week think their stunted from small 1 gallon, gonna go up to 3. Do I wait till they are somewhat dry or after another watering or feeding?
Watering wait a day or so after you want soil moist but not soaked so stickes together. An yes soon as you get the outta those pots they r gona take off thats about max for that size
If it were me, I would go straight to a5 or 7 gal bag. I think the roots breathe better in cloth
Girls drinking more must be a good sign. Fed calmag, fish emulsion and molasses, next watering is gonna be with silica, calmag and gonna try Dr earth pump and grow if I don't up pot.
Lol everyone using Dr earth nowπ π€ stuff is worth it tbh
Hung up some wet towels to increase Humidity and got around 0.80 and 0.90 kPa in the past day and ladies looking real nice π€ππ
Looks like they hungry for some cal mag
Maybe some EWC aswell
Ight I'll top dress some castings and top water them in with slightly stronger cal mag
more so on pic 4
Pre flower is awesome π They look good
Thanks homie π€
Finally up potted to 3 gallon not sure how much use they'll get outta them but it's worth a try. I know it's late gonna veg for another 21 days then switch over to flower, next grow gonna be more keen on getting to bigger pot early and topping with lst, just wanted to try and see if I had the chops to get this far on my first grow
Love the Bright Green of pre-flower. Plant looks very healthy π It will be fine, expect, some kind of reaction. But don't worry
Thanks fam π€ much love π€ππ―π
Looks super healthy
She sure izz.. I like her alreadyππ
