Miserable looking plants

[matt6320]

i would def. recommend PH testing. i use a cheap aquarium ph test kit. costs maybe $4 and lets you know where you are at. the thing with PH is that you can be in the right range, maybe slightly high or low, but overtime this adds up. while your medium can buffer a little, once you are on your way off its just a matter of time before its all fully loaded up.

I am currently flushing an old medium that i will be reusing. I grew my plants in it and all was well, always feeding 6.4ph and ~500ppm. well when i flush that 2 gallon pot it all comes out at 1500ppm with a ph way off. as i feed neutral water it all gets back to where it should be.
point being, your medium will drift unless you watch what you are doing.


good luck.

PS: Where did you get the big bud from? I had some from Linda Seeds i believe, they just finished, beautiful turnout on the plant. really nice nugs, smells good, good consistency, good mix of frosty and compact.

I'll take your advice and start ph adjusting from now on! I got mine from a UK distributor called discount seeds. They were only cheap as I want more experience before I start shelling out on reputable seed banks. How long did the flower phase take roughly?

Good call about the PH. I prefer these aquarium tests kids, very hard to screw anything up. at least that way you know if your ph is in range and if not, you can get your ph up/down at that point.

I am not sure about the flowering time. I would say somewhere about 2 months, its just what most of these plants do man. I also had her in a 12/12 flower tent since I run some photos, so you cannot take my experience as what your might be.

Hey bud, thanks - just in time for christmas then hopefully! Yeh i feed biobizz every watering. 1 plant has picked back up now but one still looks bloody miserable so i may just use PH water without nutes until it starts to pick back up.
Not much smell off these yet but the buds are swelling pretty damn fast

Hello most soil grows dont feed every time its feed/water/feed or feed/water/water/feed just depends on the plant.I dont like soil i could not work it out so i grow in coco easyer to control stuff you are putting in and a P.H pen is a must as for smell wait till you have some big buds they will stink

Being retired from the chemical industry where our chemicals were actually "adjusted" according to the water being used at that end users specific facilities...let me tell ya, water definitely changes from municipality to municipality and I'm sure it does where you live. Getting your ph in check is foremost for everything else to work as it should.
A 60 mile change of my grow spot had me definitely ph'ing even though I'm over the same aquafer...it's the natural earths filtration that changed.
Though some believe some mediums buffer, if you put shit in, expect shitty grows.
