started grow question 4y ago
Not a question but a PSA. Don't always put all your trust in your pH pen. Mine was reading just over 7. So I lowered it just a bit, but some plants kept getting worse. Checked with pH drops and it was over 8.5 lmao. Damn near killed 2 of my ladies.

Help please
Do you start week 1 as soon as your seedling has bust through the soil? Or just a week after you germinate?

HELP IDENTIFY THIS SECONDARY PLANT!
What's the second little plant growing in Charlie's pot in my Sour Diesel Auto grow? Round leaves and running it through the free apps have proven useless. Maybe a Pilea plant? Seed was in the dollar store soil I started the seeds in.

New grow
I’m not opposed to using the PH down at all. This my first rodeo. The FoxFarm soil was given to me along with the liquid and the plant lol. Really just wondering and trying to learn some different methods from other growers and to have the more seasoned vets let me know what 💭

will it turn into 1 big bud, or stay a few smaller buds
will the bud "close up" when they start to swell? or is there too much space between the buds because of too much internodal space? it doesnt look like 1 big bud, but like a bunch smaller buds. will this turn into 1 big bud when the calyxes swell? same for the lower buds.

What’s up guys I’m using 7.5L pots and I started her first flush of 2L and I got absolutely no run off at all and she’s not reacted to the plain water at all. It’s almost time to water again and I’m wondering how much I should give to get a good flush? Thanks!
