Well after asking some questions I discovered that all the autopots were 7 or more ph
So I flushed plants down to 6.3ish and dumped entire autopot system.
I had been checking reisvor but not the actual pots.
They are freshly fed and phd down to 5.9. I hope that helps
All the new growth looks green. i'm hoping things are better and just a bit stunted. Definitly FAR from where it should be though
After a few days the res is 5.9 but the damn pots are fucking 7 again! I'm not gonna flush these bitches again. i dropped the res to 5.5 and mixxed in some of that in the autopots and the are now 6.2ish. Fuck it I hope that helps, they seem to be doing ok, so I think it was just on the edge of the spectrum. I hope dropping the PH gradually a bit works 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I have two plants that look good but small. 1 plant that looks small and fucked and one that looks big and fucked. I'm just looking for a game finish achievement
Not much change over the last few days. more of the bottom leaves are yellowing and i can tell the plants are suffering but i think i just have to play this out. PH was 7 again in the res so i lowered it down to 6.2 and finally got a water pump in there. i'm hoping it circulates the water and helps keep the ph in check. The pots are higher again 6.6ish... This next feeding i will blast that down to 5.5 and try and hold it there a week.
I got the tent camera going so i have a live feed up too. Its nice!

Wondering about LST. I tried it this week. Its "outgrown" it. I wonder if I tie down the new growth and continue it horizontal? or move the tie down further up the plant to the end? I'm worried that on 2 trees I just "slanted" them and its not really a 90ish angle, is that ok?

Привет, друг! 👋
Всё хорошо, учитывая что твоя девочка ещё молодая и не сможет сейчас слишком сильно изгибаться, но ты уже начала тренировки - и это правильно! 💪
Ты всё правильно делаешь - в этом возрасте ты её не положишь на субстрат, я рекомендую гнуть таким образом, чтоб листва растения не касалась субстрата или касалась, но одним нижним листом, который я вскоре удаляю! Продолжай направлять растение в горизонтальную плоскость и крепи его верхушку на краю горшка, а её ветки растягивай в противоположные стороны и так же - крепи на краю горшка! Мой дневник candy (5 неделя) будет тебе в помощь чтоб понять как растянуть все ветки, но я в своем дневнике ломал растение HST во взрослом возрасте, так что не пугайся переломов центрального ствола из моего дневника! 👌
Удачи, друг! ✊😇

Why do the leaves look like this tight yellowish leaves instead of broad emerald leaves? I think i over watered last week worried about Autopots but my tent is also a bit warm. running 80-85ish. Just wondered what you experts think

Hey Growmie,
this is one of the classic signs of cannabis magnesium deficiency. You may also see red stems. If you don’t react to it promptly, a cannabis magnesium deficiency can spiral out of control and cause your plant to lose a lot of lower leaves quickly. The plant will pull magnesium out of older leaves and bring them to the newer leaves. That’s why a magnesium deficiency usually appears towards the bottom of the plant and on older, less important leaves. The edges of the leaves may become yellow or bright green and may start feeling crispy to the touch. This crispiness around the edges is different from nutrient burn, which does not lighten the margins inside the leaves. Often with this deficiency, the magnesium is present, but the roots cannot absorb the magnesium properly due to an improper pH. The way you fix this is to flush your plant with clean, pH’d water that contains a regular dose of cannabis-friendly nutrients that includes magnesium. This will remove any nutrient salts that may be affected by the uptake of magnesium and help restore pH to the proper levels.
Hopefully, this was helpful and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"

The leaves are pretty paperish in texture and the tips are browning. Any thoughts? These plants have had a rough rookie grow

your plant is almost done with its life cycle, your leaves will start turning brown and dying and falling off, it looks like you should start a water flush until you chop her in about a week and a half. dont worry about saving the leaves, you smoke the bud and that is what matters right now

@Experimentgreen, I have a couple calibration packets i check the meter off of every time, and then i use the drops to check reservoir before hooking it back up. soooo paranoid about PH. and apparently Still wasn't cautious enough. but now i know to check auto-pots themselves at least till i know what i can count on!

That was a great journal. And quite the testimonial on the importance of a shot glass, a terminal flat head and that green 7.0 sitting by your feed station!

Since you’ve been giving me so much love today, I thought I’d reciprocate and check your diaries out too. I must say that I see a lot of differences in our first attempts! You had a small, but beautiful plant, and mine was a giant beast of a beautiful plant. Either way is good! My biggest lesson learned from my first grow was to not let it get so big in the vegetative stage! I’ve been looking at a lot of “single plant” diaries to see what a normal harvest should be… so far I haven’t found any that have more than 7.79 ounces from a single plant. The coolest thing about growing, is that size has no bearing on quality as long as it’s grown with love. Bravo!
