8/27 got my ph back up where I wanted it and my ppm of runoff down by almost half to 820. Need to do more research but I feel like that has to be tolerable and I can stop panicking lol. Buds are filling out now and in getting excited!
9/2 think I gotthings back on track with ph and ppm. Main buds are already way bigger than any i got from my 1st grow. Defoliated a bit this week and feel pretty good about it. I think I'm starting to understand how things are working now that I'm on my 2nd time around.:+1:
very nice :seedling:
@ToadieK, thank you!
The pH of the media drops down when nutrients has built up into salt . It happens usually when you over feed your plants by giving them nutrients too often by feeding them each times you water them or every other watering !
Follow a Feed Water Water Feed Water Water Feed W W F ... schedule and check the ppm's from the drain of the second watering to see if it needs to be fed or just water for the next round !
@B4RNS, thanks I'll give that a try. I also was told some additives like carbohydrates can throw off the ppm and make it high but they don't cause any harm. I was just going off the bottle's recommended feedings and keeping it light in comparison. Thanks for the advice! Less nutes to mix up too :+1:
@B4RNS, I've been sticking to your advice and havent been having that problem anymore. I was having some deficiencies focusing too much on lowering run off ppm and not giving enough but I think I got the hang of it now. Thanks again!
@Beans,:wink:
Nice strain, got to do some research now about it.. happy harvesting soon
@Mrs_Larimar, thank you! Check out dark heart nursery's website cuz I think this strain is different than traditional sour patch kids. I wanna try breeding my own strains someday. Im just beginning though. Like they say "Gotta crawl before u walk" and there is always the possibility u might have to walk somewhere to breed so I dont recommend skipping that step. Lol
