answered grow question 6y ago
Yes, this is a little low, your soil is slightly acidic at this reading. Try and aim for 6.5 - 6.8. But adjust this gradually over a few days, trying to change the ph too much in one go can really freak your plant out. Hope this helps.... Organoman.

Cat for hire
I was watching my cute cat chase butterflys near my girls when she launched at one near my lemon haze, landed on the plant half shredding it, taking off branches and super cropping the plant for me!! My question is-Does anyone want to hire a cat that can super crop for you? :-)

Verständnisfrage
Warum sollte man bei einer Indica Genetik auf amber Trichome warten um körperliche Effekte zu erzielen? Ist das nicht genau der genetische Unterschied zwischen Indica und Sativa? Bekomme ich denn umgedreht bei Sativa auch körperliche Effekte, wenn die Trichome amber werden?

Autoflower Permanent Stretch, Growing too close to light and it's overcrowding a flowering tent.
Day 70 and I have a plant that has preflower stretched for almost 4 weeks now. No bud sites or pistils really and is massive. 4 auto seeds, same strain. All crazy different, all very different needs. Pull it, keep it, defoliate hand sized leaves, 12/12? Grows 2close to light

Flushing timing
How many weeks do u think flowering before flushing? I want to flush for at least 2-3 weeks. When I did my purple lemonade and one of my lemon pie auto’s and you get a nice fade. It’s hard to know when to stop nutes and start plain water. I was thinking 3 weeks nutes + 2 water.

Is she done?
On day 77 wedding cake looks almost done. Should I give her a feed and wait a week before flushing? Or should I flush her now and wait a week before harvesting. More keen on a euphoric high
