New Grower First time grow mephisto 3bears, strawberry nuggets and et blueberry headband

looking great :thumbsup: Mephisto running all organic for a few years now,ph shouldnt swing much organically.they would have tested ph first round and found no adjustments were needed,so dont bother to test as garden is looking good..i test my ph randomly but practically never make any adjustments.
good luck n keep er lit
:pighug:
my tap water is around 7.0. i ussually ph it to 6.0-6.5. should i continue? or stop?
 
my tap water is 7.5 ish after sitting 24/48 hours it usually drifts up to 8.2 ish.when i put my nutes in it ends up somewhere between 6.2 and 6.8 so i dont do any adjusting.
what is the ph of your feedings ?
keep er lit.

Feeding just water with mammoth p or sometimes with a little biorhizotonic ph'd down to 6.1. Which leads me to my next question. I have liquid bat guano and sugaree which are supposed to be constructive to a help a plant produce flowers. If i wanted to use these. When would be optimal? If at all. When would flowering officially start. I dont wanna dose em if the soil is still doing its work and f em up
 
i ph my water out the tap and 24/48 hours later just out of interest.then i add nutes and measure again,thats realy the only time i should measure.but whats the ph before you adjust it ? im of the thinking if its ballpark (6.2-6.8) leave it be as soil is meant to buffer slightly.im an eejit no an expert a 4th opinion is needed.
bat guano is heavy in N thats for veg.sugaree ? a form of sugar like mollasses ?
preflowering or sexing is when you can see the lil whisps of hairs.flowering is i suppose the formation of buds.

Right around day 20/week 3 for blueberryxheadband and strawberry nuggets. Plain water from tap thats sat for at least 24hours, ph to 6.0 - 6.5. With 1ml per gallon mammoth p. In reading mephistos grow guide, i noticed them say they dont ph with organics. Any thoughts on this?

I started a little ponytailing yesterday as well on both.

Here is the blueberry headband. Shes been topped above the 4th set of true leaves yesterday and seems to be doing well. Her smell is becoming less straight skunk and more sophisticated. She also started showing pistils yesterday. She has a nice emerald green color in person.View attachment 981988

Here is strawberry nuggets. She seems an incredibly hearty plant. With my no experience im really enjoying the mephisto genetic. I hope they are all as enjoyable to grow.View attachment 981991

Here is the frisian dew at day 10. Shes a bit taller at her age then the others where. Hope to get a nice colorful pheno.View attachment 981992

Looking forward to your feedback.

Happy holidays
Cool temps will help to bring out the purple during flower. Mine was outdoors and the buds went very dark purple, it looked beautiful growing but actually didn't end up looking so great dry, but I'm talking about a UK summer which gets far colder than your tent ever will!

Tap comes out to 7.1 or so. I was mistaken. Its a guano mix with humus and castings 0.5 - 0.5 - 0.7. The sugaree is 0-0-2 and is a cane and molasses extract. I have plain org unsulfured molasses. however if i was to feed that, im not sure how much. Think im gunna try a 50% of recommend dose with the sugaree and guano on the blueberry headband next feeding.

Also raised my light 2 inches last night out of curiousity. The strawberry nuggets had to have grown an inch vertically. Really interesting. The whole light height and power thing is gunna take some time.

Here are an exaample of the blueberry heads pistolsawhere nodes split. And i pic of the guano

I noticed 2 things about my blueberry headband im curious about.

1. The top branches have a little reding/purpling. I believe it cant be mag def and i read that starts at the bottom of the plant. Could it be genetic? Ph? I been phing to 6.1 and only using recharge half strength every third feed. My fresian dew babe has this as well.
2. I noticed some of the newer growth is more goldish green. Er more yellow.

Anyone? First two pics are of the yellowing. Third is of the redish top branches

I found out that the purpling of the branches, since its not from a mobile def, is genetic. So good.

As far as the new growth being a bit more yellow in green, am still not sure. It seems to coincide with that its now starting to try and form buds. Maybe?
