Indoor Powerful's closet grow

so not a water issue, back to accurate ph reading, I think @Waira , is best bet. In my ignorance I would be thinking if soil PH ok, then maybe up nutes. You say you at 1/2 dose? and I don't see any tip burn(too much). Remember, I don't grow this way so I'm just a talking head, lol

i was wondering the same myself maybe i have been starving them, with not enough nutrients.. i dont know only second try on these autos.. they are looking better than my first try thats for sure

Make sure you get a good ph range on the feed that helps the p uptake.

What container are you growing in?

Hey @Dudeski thanks for havin a look.. what do u mean by pH "range"? i always try to keep pH @ 6.2 in my solution.. now trying 6.5 thinking they need a bit higher.. i dunno but i gotta figure this out or will be like last run..

they are 5 gal pots with holes (many holes lol) drilled in them.. i finally got my soil pH tester working i think and im getting really low readings.. 5.8 to 6.1 i think may be the cause but why?? i am adjusting to 6.2 (or was) until last night.. i adjusted to 6.5.. so how is it so low in the soil? (which is PROMIX and vermiculite and worm castings)

?, might be the meter?

i am hoping so @trailanimal because i think numbers that low could be very bad news for them quickly.. today things seem to have slowed down so im keeping fingers crossed

have you tried the supersoil amendment yet? so far we have had really good luck with it. only had to water so far. no signs of any def. or tox. and it has taken the headaches of the nutrients during feeds n messing it all up cuz we prolly woulda been in crisis mode after 1 feed lol. but glad u think you found your issue!. sure she will do fine. she still looks good.

im pretty sure i have the cause locked down now its just figuring out why it happened.. what im struggling with is if im adjusting to 6.2 on my nutes and the soil started out testing at 7.. then what is causing the drop in pH? that is my question, but i think its early enough she will do ok. im only worried about it because on my first grow i had two of my girls get hit with this and inside of a cpl days they were really bad it happens quick.. but im hoping that i have it under control, water day is tomorow so from here on out 6.5 or a bit higher will be my pH adjustment and see if that works..

This is all a learning curve for me and i enjoy the challenges and i feel like once i have a good system going i should be worry free. i like the nutes because i feel like im under control a little better with how much they get and such.. plus ive spent too much on the setup now to think about changing.. i may try a supersoil or somthing outdoors this year i was thinking about it..

gonna catch up on your thread tonight been swamped lately

dude i feel you on the $$ invested thing. we went wayyyyy over budget lol. really hoping we can get this down and get to the point we dont have to buy smoke no more lol. about to start 3-4 more here in next few days.

I believe that the soil ph will change over time as it decomposes. Different nutes are absorbed or locked out at different levels. A little higher is good for p. There is a chart somewhere. Ill look
