the_connoisseur420 All looking very healthy although I'm sure she's going to be a heavy feeder!

the_connoisseur420 All looking very healthy and starting to smell a little more now so carbon filter next week. Increased nutrients a little but other than that she seems pretty happy. A routine check of the ph runoff to be on the safe side (next feed)

the_connoisseur420 Not completely safe sailing, seem to have simile issues as I normally do around week 3/4. My soil seems to do ok buffering the ph of my very hard water but come weeks 3/4 it gives up. From what I can see it seems to be zinc deficiency but any ideas are welcome? My run off was coming out around 7.4 and my water (with nutrients added ) about 7.3 Strickly speaking I don't like to adjust the ph of my water when using soil but in this case don't feel I have much choice. I'll be adding a few drops of PH down for the next couple of feeds along with a mini flush to wash away any build up of salts.

the_connoisseur420 So my problems with the very hard water continues but hopefully a solution is in sight....RO water from my local aquatics store. Having to mix a small amount of tap water to bring the PH into range but with any luck this will solve my issues in the future.

the_connoisseur420 OK I've gone from being a grower that never checked his ph metre didn't have a clue what ppm was to now checking every single aspect but yet having more problems than ever! Growth seems to have slowed and the buds don't look as though they are packing on much weight. However they do seem to be very crystaly. Started to read about bio biz not being very compatible with UK hard water areas so maybe I'll switch up nutrients and soil next time. PH seems fine (aroun 6.5) after nutrients ppm is around 600ish temps are well in range but leafs are curling inwards (like tacos) some leafs are turning brown on the edges. I've put up a couple of pics if anyone has any suggestions?

the_connoisseur420 She has slowed right down and isn't packing on much weight. And possibly started to hermie :( got most of them out and no other plants in the room so no worries about pollination. Got to say I'm a little disappointed but I'll be flushing tomorrow and maybe one more flush next week so hopefully all isn't lost

the_connoisseur420 A lot has changed since my flush last week, after a closer look at the trichomes barley 1 has turned milky let alone amber so decided to give her a mild feed and hope she packs on some weight in the final week or so. Might even top dress the soil with a mix of bat guano and worm castings but feel I'm a little too late. She promised so much but definitely feel there was some nutrient lock out which should have been corrected earlier I've and learn I suppose.

the_connoisseur420 OK it's been a tough grow and we're now into day 65 of flower (bit longer than expected ) seemed to have got to week 6 or 7 and stopped packing on weight. I've tried everything from flushing to compost teas and top dressing but with no improvement. She's probably the most frosty strain I've had but as for finishing i have no idea how long to take her? Anyone have any idea's? Can't really be feeding her any bottled nutrients being thisthis code to the end but obviously something need to happen.
