105 I believe, sir.
I wish I can get those here. The most I can find is 30w and that's on the internet.

Why can't you get anything you want off the net, why only 30 watters?
Hell all I use is 23 watters from local home improvement store.
You can find them on Amazon and they ship anywhere.

International shipping fees are out of control. Also not very discrete.

Thx Squidy, yup it is 105 :check:
Been a busy week or so in real life, so not had much chance to update. She was doing really well and when she was dry a day or so ago, I used a quarter dose of Bio Bloom in her water. This morning when I checked her she was looking very yellow (not just the lighting this time) and had rust spots on a couple of leaves. I've got pics from yesterday but she was looking fine then, so will take pics of her later today. Having checked ph it's at 7.5 so think it's a ph issue and am drinking a pot of coffee atm so can use the grounds lol - any advice please?
PS Greg have you tried eBay? That's where I got mine from.

ok, having searched the posts on here it definitely looks like a high ph lockout which, I believe, affects micro nutrients. I'll test the ph level again tomorrow and hopefully the coffee grounds will have helped take it down to the 6.5 it had been steady at up until then.
Lesson learned - don't presume water ph is ok when you've added nutes and test water/water and nute mix as well as soil ph.
Once ph levels are ok, should she look greener again or are those yellow leaves going to die off?

Hey there gal. Those rust spots won't repair themselves, but as long as they don't get any worse. The yellowing may green up or may not. Sometimes it just doesn't get worse and all new growth is fine, which is good. Looks like cal/mag is locked out from Ph too high. Hope it comes down with your new feeds. Otherwise you're looking good though. :thumbs:

Thank you again, great advice, as always Squidy :hug:
I think she's looking a little better, she's growing and started smelling more again. My soil tester broke, so I have no idea whether the coffee grounds helped or not as it even read 7.5 in pure lemon juice soaked garden soil :no:
Anyway I waited til today when she was nice and light when I lifted the pot and the soil felt dry down 2-3 inches, before testing my tapwater, as didn't want to add overwatering to the problem. I was shocked at just how alkaline the tapwater is here and think in a way it's a good job I overwatered initially and then didn't start watering til later on, as think the alkinity has been building up each time. The soil probably buffered the initial alkalinity a bit. It measured at around 8 and didn't get down to 6.5 until I'd added at least half a teaspoon of lemon juice to 2 litres water!! To that I added a quarter of the recommended amount of Bio Bloom and tested again, before watering with her. I had also top dressed about half a tablespoon of dolomite lime into the soil in case there was a cal-mag deficiency, thought that was probably better as it's slow release than bombarding her with too much.
She might've got too dry though, because I couldn't test the ph of the run off as there wasn't any ... I know it's a big 3 gallon tub or so that she's in but I'd have expected some? There's plenty of drainage at the bottom, with several holes underneath and around the bottom edge of the pot. I got a full refund on my soil tester and managed to win a Kelway Soil Tester for cheap on eBay ... they're usually big bucks and are meant to work well, so I should be able to keep an eye on the soil ph even if I don't get any run-off.
What do you think of how she's doing?
These are the yellowest leaves, although I think my kitchen fluorescent light makes them look more yellow.
See what I mean about there being green in the yellow leaves? There seem to be as many green leaves as there were before so hopefully it's that way around and not more green ones turning yellow :joint:
