nah to me its not really interesting.But Im just not saying anything yet cuz a lot of ppl are saying deficiencies,and its more a high caustic issue cuz of the density of the foods and cal mag potency is all it is imo. just have to be worked around and a small bit of draining.a light rinse if you will ,to take some of the spent caustic building of materials away some. nto a flush,but just simple drainage and Im have very few issues.a cpl but nothing to really worry about as you have seen. but anywho,they are watered and perked up for the light this AM,soooo.have a goodun

One of the new seedlings is doing well, the other...? Well, we'll see, I've had others that started very small and became good sized plants. The Double Bubbly from the first group is doing well also, nicely flowered. I swear though, these pots are ruining my plants! I can think of no other reason for them being so small The soil is what everything else is growing in..........

well here i go chiming in late on things... your plants stature in phenomenal the internode spacing the leafs structure all that looks amazing the breeder of the strain killed it!!

These clones were planted May 19
About a week in they started getting blotchy. I think it might been too hot too fast. They've had nothing but straight water ph'd in the 6.2-6.4 range

What are you PH adjusting with? What are you using to read your ph levels? whats the PH of the water before you PH and how much of your PH down do you use per gallon to adjust?

I'm using general hydroponics pH down. My water comes out of the tap(well) at 7.8 and it takes roughly 23drops to bring it to the 6.2-6.4 range. The yellowing hasn't gotten worse but it does seem as though the soil is a little N rich for this strain

as we state all over when your running hot soils you cannot use phosphoric acids.. thats absolutely your issue. You must use citric acid with hot soils. phosphoric acids cause all kinds of slow growth and it alsp tends to make the leaves super dry and crispy as well as yellowing with serious issues becoming a light khaki tan color.

Thank you kindly uhh Kind Soil LOL! Thanks man,much appreciated. Stone and Mephisto Genetics are the two.

get off the phosphoric acids your grow will completely change. Citric acid crystals we recommend are earth juice natural down.. i would recommend doing a regular water without any acids in it on your next water. After that make the switch to citric acid crystals.

i can assure you your grow will change. its something about phosphoric acids we learned cannot be ran properly with hot soils. The only time they are good to use in soils are if your mixing it with a batch of chemicals or something that requires a PH drop.

I'll give lemon juice a shot, the eartjuice crystals are a pain in the ass. The new growth looks ok. The clones were in tall cups and I think when transplanting they were right on top of the KS and it was just too much too fast

i understand how difficult it can be but ph adjusting is ph adjusting regardless the items used you sill need to use very specific amounts to get to the point you want. theres beneficials from using citric acid crystals and once you know the amount you need it rarely changes. if your PH adjusting say a gallon of water you can simply add 4-5 crystals (or however many it takes to get you where you need to be) shake it up and be done. If your going to have to have fresh lemons around all the time that can really be a pain and depending on grow sizes that can become expensive. you don't want to use lemon juice from a bottle theres preservatives and additives in the products. I don't want to detour you from how you want to grow everyone has their own styles.. but i can assure you if you want a simple, easy grow doing it right without any corner cutting is truly the best route.
