I’m confused mate. The autopot res is non active. By that I mean the plants don’t actually drink from it. It flows into a separate smaller res from which they absorb everything so why is the res ph changing? Got an air stone it in it? Even a wee 4w one will keep it all fresh as a daisy. Get a soil probe and test pots properly too. If you putting through 6gal and it’s still coming out higher than your putting in it’ll be well off. Wouldn’t raise the feed either.That’s as high as anyone ever needs to go. Common cause for bad ph in the pot is the nutes being too strong. They build up as the plant isn’t absorbing everything and can lock each other out. Always best to keep feeds as light as you can without bits turning yellow in order to avoid that.

Thanks @EvilScotsman ... I've got a small submersible pump coming to stir the res for a few mins every hr. As it sits it just constantly goes up. I'm not sure why, but after bubbling tap water for 24-48hrs it's about 7.8, put nutes in and it comes down to about 6.4, then I adjust down to 5.8. I've been mixing by hand a couple times a day, but it still rises quickly - So I add PH down to the rez to bring it back down.

TD2 is drinking tons (closer to the heater) but is not taking the nutes. TD1 was happy, hungry, and taking everything I could throw at her.. So I definitely got a little excited with the feeds and made my way up to 1250ppm. Dialed it back down to 800-950 including BigBud.

I think at this point I'm really going to have to pull TD2 from the rez and hand feed until she comes around a bit more. TD1 is doing really well, but is crowded and I don't want to mess her up.

So more changes - I'll be setting up the other tent for a bit..

Leave it in the res mate! Bit busy but give me an hour or so and read through it. Just clocked on a been pulled away. Back soon bud...

 

[EvilScotsman]

Ahhhh it hasn't auto'd yet. Forget my last statement lol.

Day 68

TD1 is starting to stack up nicely and probably has a few weeks left to go. She's responded well to the BigBud and I've stretched her out a bit more now that TD2 is out of the way.

TD2 on the other hand is in intensive care in another tent now. Runoff PH and PPMs were off the charts at 7's and 1250ppm.

She's waaaay behind but is still alive, growing...and locked out ... as always, she's a challenge..

TD1 is flowering nicely! Have you switched TD 2 to 12/12 light schedule?

You could try hitting TD2 with a black light and darkness for a couple hours and see if it shocks her into flower. I have seen that done before. Are you aware why she is locked out? Sorry I didn't read up to see.

Ya TD1 is really doing great I'm stoked for her for sure - probably a few weeks to go and she'll ripen up.

As for td2 no, I'm letting her recover a bit before trying to force her... hoping this will result in her being a super monster!

TD2 was beside the heater and sucked up waaaaaaay too much food. Her medium runoff ph rose to the high 7's at the same ppm as the rez (1250ish). And she stalled and started to turn colour. I thought (incorrectly) that my medium was 'mostly coco' when it is in fact closer to an amended soil. Needless to say, I'm done with this soil after this run and will move to straight coco or coco/perlite...sigh, I've got waira's ear over in the infirmary and we're working though it. She's also in a separate tent now as she just takes up way to much space in the main one - I don't want TD1 to suffer from airflow / light etc at the peak of flowering.

Thant said, she IS showing pistols again and maybe the lockout is what stalled her setting flower. I'm not in a huge hurry as her sister will provide lads of great smoke
