After 15 gallons through my 6.6 gallon pot i had to dump the tote but i tested the ppm and ph of the water, 1700ppm@6.0 i was flushing with 6.5 tap into it. decided to clip off bunch of leafs that were bushed up in the middle so that is a plus.


the problem leafs

I always got buildup and lockout going into flower with autopots. Gave up before I ever figured them out

It is my 1st time for me but also my 1st time reusing promix and being lazy, what nutrient line were you using?

I was thinking more on the lines of the "AFN Personals" haha

While you're looking for love you can learn to grow plants!

not a bad idea, i kinda gave up on love but maybe if we have something in common...... I'm still young (34) just widowed and hurt :smoking:

Which kind of uvb light do you use? One for reptiles or one designed for plants? I would like to get one and maybe try the bud candy too. Not that my weed dont taste good but if i can make it taste even better, why not i feel..

You wrote UVB I read UVA because it is the UVA that enhances terpenes the most and UVB the THC %. I use both:

Seems like my plants always get some kind of funk shorty after starting flower. No matter what kind of symptoms or deficiency it shows, it's always come down to my pH...

Doesn't matter which soil, I always end up too acidic. My well water is between 7.2 and 7.9 pH and even watering without adjustment my soil still gets down to the 5.5 range. Probably just the change in root exudates during flower causing mine.

Only thing I've found to work is mixing some garden lime into the soil, or top dressing and watering in. Also get extra cal mag from it so bonus!

That's organic though, if I'm using salts I just flush and make sure to water to runoff each time.

@Susitna The reason the PH goes down at early flower is because the plant sends exudates that changes the PH of the root biome to signal to the microbes it is time to make more Phosphorous and Potassium available to the roots. You are fighting the natural process if you try to change the PH in the root zone.

When I was growing DWC I could see a drop from 5.8 PH to 4.8 PH in just a couple of hours. That signaled it was time to change the reservoir with a P-K boost.

In good organic soil everything the microbes need to make more P-K is already there and no intervention from the grower is needed. The PH will return to normal on its own when the plant wants it to.

The AFN Classifieds?

Ohhhh, the CULTIVATORS CLASSIFIEDS!

ppp

Clearly not everyone will be finding love on the Cultivators Classifieds.

Hey figured I’d share with my fellow stoners but if u got the whataburger app there is a coupon for a free whataburger but has to be used by today!

Top watering once a week to 20% runoff to waste can help.
