So today we did some diagnostic troubleshooting on the less than optimal looking Northern Lights, Lets touch on that before the episode comes out with all the recorded footage. Symptoms : We where seeing the plant's leaf showing signs of die off & what looked like lock-out happening, This was further confirmed by the bag still retaining all the moisture nearly from its last feed while all other plants are ready by tomorrow or next day for their next watering. Conclusion : Something was causing this plant to shut down intake, This lead to me diagnosing it the following ways. I tested the PAR hitting the tops of the plant to see if it was getting too much light, Even though it was not tacoing I wanted to rule this out, It was receiving average levels of PAR, Ticked that one off the box. Tested the plant top temps with my fluke 64 MAX, They checked out as well & ticked that one off. Then it was root-zone diagnostic time so we did a flush with PH 6.1 water & collected run off. PPM was 550 which was great, BUT the PH Was 4.5, BOOM. There was the problem. Now what could have caused this ? If we are talking about condensation and that dripping into the bag, It should have by all accounts caused a PH spike. But it did not, It was incredibly low PH instead, Very acidic. It took me awhile to figure out what could have caused this but my resting hypothesis is that it is from the WALLAMMO, The soil that went into that 3 gallon must have been hot with Wallammo, As it says on the package it balances the PH of the soil. It is my only conclusion I can come to on what would have caused this. Solution : I had a couple options to me but taking into account the type of plants we are growing ( Autoflowers ) & where we are at in stage of growth, Nearing end of week 3. We have to take those factors into consideration. The obvious answer was flush it like crazy. The only problem with that is I feel it would really stunt and effect the plant being it is approaching flower, This would likely take a good week or 2 to dry out fully and then begin recovery which if it was indeed the Wallammo in that specific bag, It might not be enough to solve the problem. The next solution was to flush it & transplant it into a fresh bag, With fresh soil. Given the circumstances and potential cause of the problem this seemed the only solution. The plant was moved into a fresh bag with fresh soil & given a small dose of rapid start & B-Vital to hopefully, Guide it through to recovery. All of this was documented and will be included in the next episode. <span class="link_user">@love_2_grow</span> Thank you so much for inspiring the idea to include this as part of the series. I really felt it was a great opportunity to show how to diagnose your plants & come to a solution, Make the choice & do it. Whether it works or not, We will see but in the end we are chalking up experience every time we must deal with adversity in our rooms, DO NOT shy away from the experience. Embrace it & learn from it.

HEY everybody, Please hop over and check out my good friend Kashmir on grow diaries ! He has recently joined the seedsman affiliate team and is a new grower who has worked closely with me to learn and improve. It gives new growers a very cool unique look at seeing someone who is new at this, Learning along our tutorial series and applying the information he is learning and the results he is obtaining, Make sure to head over and follow his profile to join in along the journey with us! I STRONGLY recommend looking at his Jack Herer diary & Gelato to see what is possible with some effort and patience. Some of the most beautiful buds I have seen! This is possible for each and everyone to achieve through putting your focus into learning the methodology properly and having patience. We want you all to see that with the ability to study the correct information and what is fundamental to growing cannabis, Not just videos to copy and follow along with that anybody can learn to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. Legacy Market Farm's goal is to help open up the abilities of the average home grower to have a more complete basic understanding of how to do these things, Which once you cut through all the dissinfo / missinfo & myth / Rumor it really is not all that difficult like a lot of people would want you to believe. growdiaries.com/grower/kashmir

Yeah that's just fade pal Natural. She's a bigger plant so she'd be quicker to cool espicallu if you got a fan moving over her. Very nice grow.
