You should be ok with the SC. It’s just added carbs and vitamins without any N in it so it would be hard to overdo.

No, I think it is now easy to overdo use of the current Sweet Candy, which is 0-0-16 (received ~10 days ago). The original SC (I'm looking at the label) states 0-0-1; and it used to be compared to Adv. Nutr. Bud Candy.

So SC is now a very potent source of potassium (K), and I no long plan to use it regularly (or at all).

Most pH meters need to be stored in storage solution to preserve the meter or at the very least pH 7.0 test solution. They will last much longer if stored correctly. Also most of the cheapie meters on Amazon are either just knockoffs from China or actual fake meters out of China. I use one of the Hannah pH meters and I purchase it from their website so I know it’s not a fake. $41 and I got a replacement probe, which I haven’t had to use yet, for another $20. Has an easy to read display and it can be calibrated with just 7.01 or can be two point calibrated with the addition of 4.0 solution. It’s not waterproof so probably wouldn’t handle a dunk in the reservoir, but has been a solid performer for me. If one needs waterproof they have a line of those for a few dollars more.

Sorry I was referring to the original. I did not realize they changed that formula too.

Ohh yes, the change was more than expected too. They made a good product great! And I haven't added one drop of Cal/mag this grow and I couldn't be happier with my plants!

DAY 20

Well, I am thinking that yes, the transplant did stunt their development a bit. Oh well....live and learn.
Ladies are still looking nice, just not getting much bigger. Going to turn on res and airdomes tomorrow, lets see what happens. I cleaned out the res and I will start fresh as it had a bit of a funny odor.

That plant looks vert healthy to me! And never dicount what appears to be a runt, I've had more than one catch up and/or exceed the others bud wise.

I really didn't want to do any LST or touch the ladies this grow, but I have the feeling the lady in the picture above might be a bit tall. Maybe I will give her a slight bondage session today, ha ha. Should I just start to bend her main stem slightly to the side?

 

[MassMom]

OH CRAP. I saw a few spots the other day and now it is getting worse. Since transplant into their 3 gallon auto pots I have started to see an issue working its way starting at the bottom.. Can anyone identify this? They are in ½ canna coco and ½ canna terra pro being fed 3mg per gallon of mega crop, 1/4tsp per gallon of sweet candy, and 1ml/L CALMAGic under (3) of big smo's autocobs. I will also post in the infirmary.


I saw this online, kinda looks like "PH FLUCTUATION"?

I calibrated my PH meter and cleaned the res. I then mixed up 2 gallons of fresh RO water with 3 grams per gallon mega crop, 2ml per gallon hydro-guard, and 3ml per gallon CALiMAGic cal-mag. Ph'd the whole thing to 6.0

I am getting answers from ph fluctuation, to not enough calcium, to to much calcium...sigh, this mom is confused! I will just keep with the new clean res and see what happens.

Roots give off exudates that can change PH specially when moving into full flower mode. I had Moby Dick CBD change the PH from 5.8 to 4.6 in 4 hours once!.
