Day 30 (April 24) - Okay. Gonna get shit back on track. Yesterday an Aptera ph20 meter arrived. I used it today and measured my tap water which was pH of 8.9. I used a 3-gallon sprayer thing I had and filled it with tap water then added pH Down until it read ~6-6.5. I then added 15 ml of GH FloraKleen. I took the two plants that looked to be in the worst shape. I trimmed leaves that looked to be dying. I added 7-9 handfuls of perlite to the top and worked it into the soil using my hands, keeping toward the sides of the fabric pots to reduce risk of hurting roots. I then flushed each plant. The first one I flushed led to runoff with just about a gallon and the runoff tested pH of 6.7. Put it back into the tent. The second plant took more like 1.5 gallons and was fucking heavy after. I let it drain and put back in the tent. My plan over this weekend is to do the same to the other five plants. Hopefully will see recovery. I also got some Rapid Rooter plugs and am thinking I'll soon get some seeds going there. If the Northern Lights autoflower work out to harvest then great. Either way I'd like to have something else on the way instead of waiting until then.... Days 31-34 - I added perlite and pruned and flushed the other plants and have just been letting them be. They seem to be doing somewhat better.

That's my guess for now. I was going to use Blumat Tropf hooked up to tap but house water seems too basic. Only way I can think of remedying is to hook Blumat Tropf up to reservoir and make sure the water in it is the appropriate pH. Will that be stable?

Making sure you're watering at the right ph is indeed very important. out of range and the plants can't uptake the nutrients. After a few correctly ph'd watering you should see some improvements

Hello buddy... first advice for the futur, keep in mind that more you give lot of informations, better are the possibilities for u to have good answer and better diagnosis. this plant is so complex sometimes that it could be difficult to be precise for a grower to answer you properly. 👍 your nutes schedule for example is strongly recommend to indicate... is your led has a dimmer ? how work your watering system ? solution ? with a pump ? settings ?....etc etc without these elements....it is more a "crystal ball" diagnosis 😏....if i were near you on your tent i could be 100% affirmative...so you told that u keep the pH to a good range ok but.... i noticed some indexs..... are you sure of your pump watering settings ? i mean now they seems droopy.... it could be one raison wich can explain a lot of others. auto's are much more sensistive/fragile to all stresses than photos or regulars ! so too much water, or a soil too much wet all the time can slow down the growth....due to the lack of oxygen in root..... and it is a vicious circle.....😷 😜 cause if you feed her, she will loose habilities to absorb correctly some elements and micro elements and she will go to a lock out process (on your leaves and on others plants in your tent )...etc etc....try to let roots breathe a bit.... in other hand if your led is a 453W (from the wall ?) and you didn't have dimm it correctly of you dont have any dimmer....the right height must be find....to ensure a grow a bit better taller..... branches and main stem need a lot of water to be build 😏... don' t hesitate to mp me if you want to give me more information... lst is a good thing to do a low stress training but u have to be effective on the overall growth of the plant.....to ensure the best yield at the end! i am not an adept of defoliation due to the very specific short cycle of autos (only in the case of fluxing techs)...... especially for the flowering time. the leaves acts as a tank for nitrogen and semi/mobiles nutrients. you have to know that when she starts to flo the plant loose their habilities to properly/ totaly absorb N....and leaves can be a good partner if you dont feed correctly at the veg stage.... a lollipoping is to my point of view the only thing to do to ensure a better concentration of energy on upper buds.... the last advice i can give you if u don't know it already.....is to have a good soil mix ! auto's most of the time have low demands than photos especially in veg stage....u have to cut your light soil for example with coco or perlite or vermiculite....or a mix of tree.....u cut close to 40%.... even 50%..... depend of knowedge of the strain needs....it will ensure you a better penetration of roots and a bigger plant.... when the flow starts go easy with nutes from the beginning to mid flow....after that u can use more pk hope this help 👊 Happy growing buddy

Hey dagwood!! first off from what I read above I would at least give them 2 hours or dark a day if not 4 I find to get better results with that. give the plants a lil rest. it also looks to have something to do with your watering system, either it is overwatering. or not enough but I'd lean more to the over watering due to where you said the "lightest" one looked the best. it's good to let them dry out like that before they get another watering. Also looks like a slight nitrogen deficiency nothing much tho so I personally would bump up your base nute just a tid bit like where your running 1.25mL/gal Id go up to 2 or 2.25 and see if that helps if it does not then go just a little more just try not to over do it lol hope this helps Happy Growing an Plentiful Harvests🙏

Is flushing the last two weeks something that really affects flavor/quality of harvested flower? Consensus among websites support it as real.... (But plenty of commonly held beliefs such as you shouldn't swim within 30 minutes after eating aren't true.)

Hey i Know this grow is old, But i think i can help u avoid future problems... your VPD (vapor pressure defecit) is really high for all stages. These sites that say lower humidity is good to rule out mold dont take into account plant transpiration at different temp/RH combinations... For example, you could counter the really low humidity by removing more heat and cutting down airflow slightly if conditions are very windy... Cannabis can tolerate dry conditions but only at low temps, it seems you were actually potentially not watering enough since your environmental conditions wick so much moisture out of the air around the plant and the medium... It also seems that you have a lot of perlite, which will further hinder your grow mediums ability to retain moisture. hope this helps

If I adjust the pH of the reservoir to 5.8 then will it remain there or drift upwards? Any way to minimize fluctuations?

@dagwood, If you are using ANY organic like Recharge in the res then yeah its going to change as the organics start playing with each other. Do you use Recharge all the time?
