This week PH was above 7 so I added diluted vinegar to the soil, no it's around 6.5. I also added Bactomatik (beneficial organisms for the roots). So far I think she's doing great 👌
I've been measuring my nutrients solution PH and it's between 6 and 6.5, but after a couple of days my soul is up to 8. Is this normal? I don't want to overwater trying to take ph down, nor do I want to kill microfungi with acid. Any suggestions?
How you test soil and on second day after watering ??? If it's cheap 5£ Amazon stick in soil reader - forget it, it shows how fat milk is ;))))
Your grow is more soiless , like ProMix, they love 6.0-6.2 pH then.
If you give good dry out and then watering cycles ( I grew for two years in similar mix, they need more soil attitude than soiless ) - you pH will naturally balance out.
Try to make some run off when water, put dry new and CLEAN plate under pot to collect run off and measure then your pH and PPM or EC. if you are very close to what you put - you are PRO and will smoke loads of ...
But if readings from in and out different - you have issues ...
All the Best !
30 days since I planted her and she's my best grow so far (my second growth). I think she looks fine, I hope she grows even better. I defoliated 3 leaves this week, branches are stretching nicely, I'll tie 2 or 3 main branches this week. I'm eager to read comments and suggestions!
My newbie's eyes have seen her grow healthy and happy this week, but maybe I'm wrong. I've been tucking, tying down, foiling, and toping this week and I've seen her grow bushy and started to stem a sweet scent in the tent. She's already shown some preflowers too! We'll probably start seeing her pistils next week, can't wait!
I never thought I'd see such a huge plant on my tent 😁. She has begun flowering and the smell is not that strong. Let's see how she develops this week. I really have no idea if she can get any bigger. At least I would love to see some buds growing larger!
This week has been amazing. The Super Gold Auto is growing hugely. She looks so bushy and healthy. The flowers still look thin but I'll be adding some Atami's Boombastic next week.
This Super Gold Auto has exploded! My other girls are all cornered and stretching for light. I'll defoliate next week or as soon as buds start fattening.
I never thought she will grow so big. I hope those buds start fattening. So far I think she's been doing good. I hope to see some bud explosion this week.
She's such a beautiful monster. I never thought she will grow so huge! Her poor sisters, BlueBerry and Haze have been stretching and growing as they can, but this girl is really enjoying!
She's officially a beautiful monster, at least by my standards. Buds seem to not be getting any fatter but they're so sugary and there are plenty of them! I stopped feeding this week. I think harvest is a couple of weeks away!
She has already lock outs !!! Looks sad, few pure waterings, then add 0.5 Cal mag / l. Only if she starts to drink you can try to feed her !!!
All the Best !
@AsNoriu, Hahaha, I like to think I enjoy training more than harming or stressing, but you're right. Thank you very much! I really appreciate this. I hope I can fix ph buffering this week 👌
@MadRomdel, if you keep good wet dry wet dry cycle and really water good pH, soil should buffer out in 3 - 4 goes, but she looks way better than last week, so enjoy harming and training !!!
@MadRomdel, by week 13 it should be ready, it is supposed to take about 70-85 days more or less if I remember correctly, assess it at the end of week 11 checking the color of the trichomes and depending on your irrigation schedule and your method of "Flush".
As I see you fed this week, the ideal is to let the plant take its nutrient reserves, so it will fade and it will also help you as an indicator of how ready it is (apart from taste issues). Please note that some "few" hardly fade. I hope it guides you something, the best thing is to check the color of the trichomes.
Thanks for the compliment, I´m a simple grower who enjoys his hobby 😉👍🏽🌱💚.
I wish you the best of luck, you're doing quite well 👌🏽.

@Afrogerweed, Hey thanks! Yeah, I'm still feeding (week 11) 😅. I'll start flushing tomorrow hehe. Thanks for the advice! This week I can see buds at the top almost ready but the ones are the bottom still look so pale. I think I'll be chopping in two more weeks! 🙌
Thanks again! 💚
well, you have little left 👍🏽. The trichomes are already opaque, it depends on your tastes. All milky or wait for some amber color. Of course, it trusts more in the trichomes in the calixes than in the sugar leaves; It also checks the buds from the top to the middle height, to know more exactly the maturation of the plant (for this reason, the desire to have a uniform Canopy), there are people who do the harvest in two parts: first, the buds closest to the lamp and then the lower ones.
Keep going!

@Afrogerweed, Hey man! I really appreciate that information. Thank you! I think I'll be chopping down the top buds this week and the lower ones when they seem more mature. Right now top buds' trichomes are almost all white, just a few ambers and all pistils have thinned, curled, and darken. But the buds below the middle height still have long clear pistils and have almost no visible trichomes.
