Hi everyone, I am still taking pics. I am in the middle of moving so my computer is down. It kinda sucks using my phone to add single photos at a time. They are ready to harvest and hopefully in the next couple weeks I can finish my diary. The new place will be amazing to grow at. I'll also be out of this desert heat. 10% humidity to dry in. I tried to not harvest until the move. The girls won't last that long. I'm at milky trics and some are Amber. Closing in towards the 30% am er so have to pull them all. Going to get some bovida packs to help with curing out here.

@ToadieK, Did you see the LSD or the Gorilla glue ? So were watering about the same amount as I am, just not daily. How hot is is where you are ? It's 106-110 here since they went in the pot. Thanks

@CRiSPrGrow, Nice ! Thanks I'll try that. Will be a lot easier. I want to get mine up before more go into the ground.

I just want to add which may help. Is I don't water like I would my vegetables in pots. Those I fill up a couple inches of water and I always have run off. The girls have maybe had a big watering once or twice maybe. I water with about 2 gallons for 5 ladies. Every 3rd day about double. I did just read that I should be giving my plants 25% your pot size in water. Then water as needed every 2-3 days.anyone done it this way ?

Hi, Going to start off thanking everyone for taking the time to help me. So basically I've been told different things that could be wrong or not wrong & different ways to fix it or not because it's ok.. If it even is a problem or maybe a bad reading due to unused soil. I was hoping some of the answers would be similar. May be due to not all knowing I'm in soil. So I'll try this. Do I need to use PH down ? Reading was 6.5 drip collected. 2nd and hopefully last If I'm reading high or not should I use any of the Suite Leaf products. I have the standard Grow, Bloom & finish. It also has their Cal-Mag, Micro Madness ( formulated to help increase your plants veg growth designed to allow the plant products in your grow cycle to work together more efficiently, Bioactive Humates ( restores soil and increases plant quality and production helps as a base for organic soil conditioners and fertilizers & Biophos Bonanza ( this actor biological product is formulated to maximize the uptake of phosphorus and calcium for healthier roots and overall plant defense). Or maybe Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom Soil Formula. So do I flush, leave alone, flush and leave alone. Or give something to her. For today it's water and crash if possible. Thanks again everyone

@Stick, Hi, I tried to use as little water as possible to get it to drain. Actually though I don't think it's ever been so wet that it put out any runoff. I water in small amounts 1-2x daily. Depending on the temp. It's been between 104-110 degrees Fahrenheit the last 6 weeks or so. Maybe had a 98 once or twice. I hit it a little heavier every 3rd day if needed. How would I get a salt build up ? I'm growing in 2 parts FFOF & 1 part Happy Frog. Then cut it with 1/3 Coco/ Perl. I was worried the Coco may dilute the nutes. I've added nothing at all. Only sprayed Neem oil on the plantv2 1/2 times. So that's why I think it's unused soil hurting the reading. But I'm a clueless newb to PPM/EC testing. I just want to figure this out asap since it's time for flower foods. Actually my smallest plant C4(FastBuds) had a reading of 954.

Hi, Thanks for the story. It's nice discovering the people behind the diaries. Hi, Tara I never thought I'd find another Toad especially a girl Toad . The Nickname Toad has followed me through life. Sometimes an occasional hey Frog. But it's Toad to my true friends. As for changes to the site. I'd like to be able to upload more than one pic at a time. I'd have more than 2 of my 5 girls up if I could. I tried folders but can't get to them from your load screen. Anyways nice to meet you Tara. You to Cle'ment.

Thanks everyone for all your help.

PH was 6.5. All tested between 6.5 & 6.7. He recommended using pH down. I was wondering if the unused soil helped raise that some. And may don't need it. My PH from the tap is 7 so I haven't been adjusting it since it's close and I'm in soil. I'll put up the next week that finished yesterday. Than see what everyone thinks. I have the Suite Leaf nute set. ( 7 in the set) . And not sure if I should use anything. I also have botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom Soil Formula ( says Natural and Organic. Which I got from another hydro guy telling me I needed it, even in soil, I panic for a sec then buy it. Then later when at home i remember I didn't need it so i swapped it for the bloom soil formula. I did it again and now the proud owner of pH down. Then after thought I did it again. May not be bad in case I need it one day. So not sure when to start or which to use. Going for as organic as possible. Suite Leaf say 4 are totally organic, 3 are very close because of a couple synthetic ingredients. Keeping it from being able to be called organic.

@Larimar,. Hi, thank you for helping. I usually water in the am(6-7). This last week it's been more at 2-4am so I can crash. I didn't notice the dropping in that week. I was more worried about the deformity. This last week I noticed a couple days ago when it was really windy. She curled right up, then opened back up in the am when the wind died down. Seemed like a defense mechanism. I've tried to water as little as possible(.2-.4 gal). But every 3rd day about a gallon due to the heat. And the outsides getting really dry. Yesterday I had to flood her and her 4 friends to get run off for a PH test. Which now has me so confused idk what to do. If you want to help let me know. I'd just ask but don't want to assume you want questions blasted at you. I'll see if I can ask in my post or use my other diaries one question. Since all have this new predicament. Thanks for your help.

I'll be ready next month. I hope FastBuds is in next months. Then again I still have to win. Still completing my first grow. I really need FastBuds seeds though since mine were taken by customs twice. Now I'm afraid of reshipping my free resend until I get a new address. I lost so many FastBuds seeds since they were what I mainly ordered. Plus a few stragglers from other banks. What really sucks is I'm an hour away from their Southern California offices. At least my first order came through. 3 of my 5 girls are FastBuds. Maybe went off track a bit. Was happy to see FastBuds as a prize. GL everyone.

VERY nice topping. I just may try it on my next grow. May depend on your end results. But it should be Great.

The first 4 weeks I typically don’t add anything to my soil other than Recharge. I find most soil has more than enough nutrients for the plant during the first 4 weeks. Good luck!👍
