Appreciate the help
So heres my plan
I go away from friday to sunday ....ill dump the rez sunday right now im going to drop the PH down to 5.5 so calcium is more available. On sunday if shes still stretching and buds havent formed ill stick to veg. and ill run 5ml of calmag @IndicaIVoz @derek420colorado

Okay the pH of my mix was adjusted to 5.5 I get back from work at 1 p.m. I'll check it again if it raises itself back up to 5.8 5.9 then I'll set the pH to 6.1 over the weekend and hopefully when I get home on Sunday the plant won't be dead

 

[IndicaIVoz]

Dont do that,cause when you set to 6.0 she will raise and go out over 6.3 while your gone just set regular veg Ph (i do 5.6-5.9) ,now you have it at 5.5 just leave it alone,check before you go away and lower again to 5.5-5.6 so it has room to raise while your gone.

 

[jtrain252]

It doesnt raise thats my issue i guess. It stabilizes at 5.9ph and never move during the week.

 

[IndicaIVoz]

Ph should always move stabilising or sticking isn't what you want. this may or may not have caused it,that's what I had asked before, if it was there for like way to long. it needs to slide. anyway seems like no ones around to really help and you aint got time so my suggestion was ,if you must leave it then just set regular veg Ph.

 

[jtrain252]

Well i set it at 5.5 tomorrow at 1 if it hasnt budged ill bump it to 6.00 Then sunday when its reset to 5.5 ill raise it myself Sunday 5.5 to friday 6.2

The problem i have is everytime i see a PH chart the Nute amounts are always in different spots some of them say calmag is available at 5.5 some say 6.2

I assumed 5.9ph would be good for cal and mag

Sorry I had some company over and couldn't respond. The reason you are seeing different charts is because they are different for soil and hydro, the one I posted is for hydro and is correct. I thought the same thing at first when I saw the pH nutrient availability charts. You are doing the right thing, by that I mean tinker with the pH until you can get some sort of swing and 6.3 is as high as you want to go and 5.4 is probably as low as you want to go. As far as the bloom and veg nutes I can't remember what I did with the GH nutes, I used them on my AutoX grow so you might be able to look through and see if you need an answer asap. If not I will look back and see what I did, I want to say I did a quick transitional phase but then they started full on bloom pretty quickly so I went to bloom schedule, but that is IF my memory serves me correctly
