Random Budsite shots, still wet from epsom salt foliar treatment.
Lookin sweet roller! :head: This is about the stage that I stopped foliar feedings, even though I wanted to keep up the practice because it seemed she liked it so much. Don't want them buds to get moldy. You got them warm enough with lots of circulation, right?

Looking good Roller man, it's a jungle in there haha
i like the way you can still see the green in the center on the last few shots. looks cool.
can i ask how much epsom you are putting in your foliar please? looks like an excellent quick fix remedy.
my easy ryders will be here any day now so i'll be prepping soon.

My fan is currently moving 440CFM out of a 30 Cubic Foot grow tent lmao, circulation is not an issue lol.
I used 1 tsp epsom salt per quart (roughly 1 liter)

Day 39 Update
EDIT: this is day 43..sorry for the title lol, I'm high.
So I am still having some major issues with pH lockout. I can't really figure it out...let me lay out what I have done so far. Ok so I checked my runoff pH about 10 days ago and all plants were 5.8-6.1. I added some baking soda to my water until the pH was 7.5 and then I top dressed each pot with a little dolomite lime and watered the lime in using the baking soda and water solution. I tested the run-off pH immediately after I did this and it read 6.4-6.6, so I was happy. Yesterday I go to add some bloom nutes (ph 6.6) and check the run-off...5.8! Wtf...so again I take some water, pH it to 7.5, and begin a flush. No matter how much water I was flushing with it wouldn't raise the pH, runoff stayed a constant 5.8-6.0. So I started getting frustrated and pHed the water I was using for the flush to 8.5, after a flush runoff pH reads....5.9.....:no:
At this point I have flushed my girls so much I ran out of chlorine free water...so I have some more sitting out evaporating now. Oh well...I guess I will just up the pH of my nutes to like 8.0 every time and topdress with some more lime and use some more baking soda, until I get the runoff pH I am looking for. The girls are showing obvious signs of nute lockout but I have flushed so much I feel like I am going to drown them. Whatever though, it's my first grow and I knew I would mess it up a bit, next time I definitively have to mix in some lime to buffer my soil
Despite my pH issues they are doing ok, they are smelling awesome and the sugar coating is starting to develop on some of the leaves. I know these girls could be doing alot better at the proper pH but, I am working on it.
But on a better side note, I have some Magic Dragon F2's on the way and I just ordered a T5 light to start those babies under :booya:! I will be watching pH much more closely, and much more early than I did with this grow. I never really had a good system down to check runoff pH, now I do and I think I have most of the new grower questions answered and I am ready to take on the dragons! I am going to start them about 2 weeks before these girls finish up, then throw them under the blackstar.
