what should i do for the yellowing help, its 4 leafs now, feed it or flush it??????

The run off on the PH is 6.8 according to the test strips I bought at the hydro place. Can't afford a decent meter at the moment so the test strips read 6.8 just flushed her with plain oxygenated water, flushed a gallon through her

Your soil PH isn't too far off.

Though you would be out on your manganese. It's sort of hard to read this one but, you have that type of thing going on. The ones on the bottom row, left corner.

It does also look like potassium def.

If you try to lower the PH a bit with some PH'd water you might bring her back in line without having to dose her with anything extra.

That's my 2 cents anyhow. Some thing to also consider, at some point you can't just keep flushing her or it'll eat itself to try and flower. So if you've flushed her now, maybe feed her next watering then see how she looks.

test strips are too innacurate, you gotta get a meter and some fluid to calibrate, with test strips yer as good as shooting in the dark.

whats a decent cheap meter and what Fluid to calibrate???

You can pick em up off ebay for about a tenner, dunno how decent they are though. hydro shops are usually overpriced so do some searching. Some will come with a small vial of fluid but yer local hydro shop will sell fluid if it doesn't. Just tell them ye need PH Calibration fluid and they will know what yer after.

I have a cheap eBay PH meter and surprisingly it is very accurate, I have tested it against a high priced PH/EC/Temp meter and it is exact.
It cost me all of 10 dollars and has worked great so far, I calibrate it once a month to be safe but not once have I had to adjust it.
Maybe I am just lucky, if I was to get another test meter I would buy something more expensive with more options on it like Temp etc

We probably have the same one. I think mine was 15€. It was cheap and works real fine. A better one that calculates the temp in as well would be better, but so far so good.

Ok we got 6 alive now, my main girl, and 2 sprouted yesterday, and 2 just broke ground tonight. Haven't given my girl anything since her flush yesterday. Am worried about the yellowing. I ordered a cheap digital PH pen with some calibration fluid. So we have 4 lowryders, 1 big devil auto, 1 AKR, 1 ak 47. now, should I run the 400 watt hps once all are atleast 4 weeks? In the meantime I have 10 cfl's in the cab, and am gonna hook up 4 more. When my kids leave I will replace the wire makeshift shelf with a real adjustable one. The 250cfm inline duct fan pulls like crap, so Im also stepping up to a 500 cfm inline duct fanHere's a few pics of the babies and the main Lowryder girl. Temps in cab have been 80-82 and the Humidity is 27......shes 29 days old today, I would have thought she'd be bigger by now, do they get taller through flowering. Shes 29 days old so 2 days over 4 weeks
