if you're going the organic way yes dolomite lime should do the trick, but I would suggest using GHE Ph Up, that way you water the plant until the runoff comes out between 6.0-6.5, this will give you faster results.

You are a SATIVA North Shore Maui! You grow tall like the sky! Strong like mountain! You are not descended from short plant!Currently overthinking this plant's development. Pep talk not working. It is a sativa but the shortest plant in my garden. Maybe just needs a trim? The yellow is a concern too. I haven't dealt with a plant this bushy before so not sure if it needs help or not.

Nitrogen toxicity mid-flower So I overfed during veg and now my plant has nitrogen toxicity. Besides making leaves super dark, crunchy, and yellow it has also made my buds pistils curl and brown way too early. I’ve been flushing often with water. Is she a lost cause or should I ride it out for 4 more weeks?

Brown spots on older fan leaves Spotted some brown spots on 2 of the older fan leaves today. Any thoughts on what the issue may be? Does not rub off- was worried about rust at first. Some more info that could be helpful is that I am using RO water. Thinking about rasing the lights a little higher up too.

Phosphorus def in veg?Phosphorus deficiency in wk 4 of veg? I noticed a few small discolored blotches on lower leaves 2 days ago and today it is a lot worse! Use flora trio, and 2 other plants in this run are under same conditions with same nutes. Could this be a pH issue? PH has been consistently ~6.

Nutrient lock out?Well watered my plants with great value drinking water. Ph 4.11. Didn't check ph until week 3. Currently upping it to 6.5 after I found the issue. Does this look like nutrient lock out? They were in root Riot starter plugs. And I fed the some clonex and great white microbs.

What's the problem?Hi guys, basically for the last few days the problem hasn't varied too much but I can't figure out if it's my light or if it's coming from somewhere else. Some of my leaves are curling with stains either on the leaf or like a burn on the tips.
