How Am I Doing?

[Jack og]

the 150w drawing panel will be placed 15~20 inches away. I have a another question, my tap water has a ph of around 8, can I water without worrying about the ph going up too much?

It’s a bit alkaline bro, will cause lockout eventually, look u can squeeze lime juice to bring ph down. If u have a ph meter, like 4-5 drops of lime juice will get that ph in range. But I wouldn’t water with something that high. (Alkaline)

Mix well, wait 1-2 hours to dissipate in chlorine as that maybe why your
Ph shows so high, check after a few hours and see where it is. Then add lime juice to get it to the sweet spot for soil. 6-6.5 , shoot for 6.3.
Lower if coco./hydro.
At the farm I shoot for 6.0
At home I fill a few 5gal buckets and let them sit over night to let chlorine dissipate.

I don't have any meters but thats what it says on my cities website. Guess I'll grab a pH test kit sometime

Just installed my new COB led drawing 150 Watts and my leaves are pointing up a bit more after an hour. Is that normal or is 15 inches/36cm too close?

Its hard to tell from the color. Try taking pictures when your lights are off. From what i can see with that color it looks pretty good

Camera flash sucks but here she is

Looks good. It looks like your getting a little nute burn starting on a couple of the upper leaves, but it might just be from the camera angle. Keep up the good work

Good to hear, from what I've read I think it will veg for about 1-2 more weeks

The leaves being different colours is my sucky flash, they're all equally green

They're now 79 and 65 cm tall, the were 23 cm two weeks ago, complete madness. I'm entering week 7 so flowering is really going to get going now right?

Small issue arise in the garden. First plant has a few leaves with some kind of tiny pest I can't see. Chrolophyll is scraped off leaving very small bite marks of about 1 mm with a shiny look to them. Don't think they're spider mites, dealt with those and I could see them. Took off the most infected leaf and wiped the other leaves with a few marks with insecticide. Any ideas on what it could be?

Photo kinda sucks so I'll try make a better one tomorrow

This one is now 110 cm, kinda ridiculous

Is this looking like a calcium deficiency? This is the only fan leaf showing some problems, its close to the top and gets a lot of light. I don't want to overreact though since it's only one leaf

The lightIng is not helping your photos.

I'm thinking either a PH problem or a deficiency ( calcium)
