What strain is the back right one? Its so much taller than the others. The tent looks great.

Yikes, i think I confused everyone (or maybe I just confused ME...ha ha)...that pic was from my LAST grow....not this one.

The 2 back girls were short stuff gorilla og (gorilla glue [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] x og kush). The one on the right blew up so much faster than her sister. I have ordered them again for my next grow.

4/12/19
DAY 49
Res filled with just 4g mc2 per gallon~ ph'd to 6.0


Ladies are getting larger, but I started noticing a yellowing on lady number one. YIKES.
Her sister seems fine?? I also noticed as I was pulling some bottom leaves that she had a huge root sticking up a little out of the coco. It made me think of when she was a little seedling first starting out inside her root riot. Poor thing grew up then down then up, she was all confused. That root was the size of a thread when she was a baby. I didnt think she would make it, but look at her, she is the largest. She must have a strong will to live. I hope I can get her through flower, sigh.

I have posted in the infirmary about this new situation, but I have the feeling it is still PH related. Darn PH!!!!....


I have always made sure my feeds are 5.8-6.1 and I check the res ph daily. I dont have a ph soil meter as I cant afford the 50 bucks right now. I will do best I can with what I have.
Both ladies are in half canna coco (coco) and half canna terra (peat). I wont do that again!
I also think i will stick with JUST distilled water. these ladies have had ro, distilled, and tap. I need to dial in a method and stick with it.....live and learn, eh?

This is exactly why I stopped running low PH in soil and coco. You'll find you have much less issues running a higher PH. if your running a soil coco mix, you want your PH at 6.5. Straight coco go with 6.2-6.3. I found all my PH related issues ended when I stopped believing that low PH was needed. You don't need a soil PH meter. I've come to believe that those "PH graphs" you see are grossly inaccurate.

Thank you hon...yes, every one of those darn charts seems to be different!....I am going to get through this grow the best I can. I am at day 50 or so and see only little signs of budding. A day at a time, and I just got my next seeds (Auto Gorilla OG) in the mail. I also got a big bag of Canna Coco Natural. I am Itching to start them but I decided I am going to wait until this grow is over. I am going to bleach down tent and start fresh.

You should try out BioTabs on one of your pots for sure. They work excellent with the AutoPots system. No ph issues as you are growing in soil. Organic, great taste, easy to do. Let me know if you want any pointers. I really think it works great.

My Grow currently is running them. I think you gave seen it, but check it out in my sig. Whenever I grew in coco and had AutoPots, I had ph issues as well. On,y when switching over to RO water on,y and then ph balancing at 6.2, not 5.8, did I finally get a stable tent.

Just some info for ya!

Thank you hon!! I checked out biotabs but there are issues (and cost) shipping to usa. I will check it out more. Yes, I am going to change out my res tomorrow to RO or Distilled water and get PH to about 6.2. See if that helps. Also someone gave me a message and asked how close my cobs were...i think they may have been a little close to this one lady as she is rather tall. I think the cob was prob 5 inches above her. I raised it up as high as I could, and now it is about 11 inches away. I checked out this page on grow weed easy, and the darn first picture looks just like mine!

I believe the RO water with slightly higher ph will help them thrive again!

KISS theory is always the best. In this case it may be as well...good luck. You will get some nice buds for sure though.

I’m in MA too and my biotabs order got to US customs on Friday, I expect to receive the package by this coming Friday assuming customs doesn’t drag their feet. I’ll let you know how it goes.
