Day 21 f

you have a phosphorus deficiency??? or???

 

[Captspaulding]

you have a phosphorus deficiency??? or???

In that one plant yes, it has a had cal mag issues the whole grow. Which translates into what you see. None of the others are doing anything close to that one. Just been bitchy from the jump.

Well mag issues. No real cal problems at all…..that’s my theory anyway, they all get the same shit, but I did decide to go with greenleaf for flowering, never used it before. Hopefully that gets that plant back on track. I’ll know more of what to do depending on how she does the next week…..

Also my Boss who is awesome... I love my Job... as long as I'm not blatant in front of customers smoking.... I go around the side and smoke as needed... usually a couple hours in-between rushes...
But I'm lucky to find 420 friendly employers.... my 1st pizza shop boss is the 1 who got ME into growing and gave me the basic building blocks of knowledge... I know by now I have surpassed my 1st teacher!!!!

But lucky to work for those type of bosses... I work harder and give more respect to the few awesome bosses I have had or have now that are like thay...

I'm a store manager and basically almost like being my own boss... I handle my shit well 90% of the time

Yeah man I work in a shop that decks trucks for Volvo, so I have to go to the gas station to smoke up.

@Captspaulding so idk what's happening here???? My ph runoff been going up each time I water. So this time I been running 6.0 water through the soil I been at it all day. I am about at 55 gallons of water ph'ed at 6.0 ran through the soil. Each time I put water through, my runoff PH goes up. I am now at 8.56 ph on my runoff. I used all my ph down and now need to go get more. Last watering my ph runoff was at 6.94 after first water today it was at 7.10. Each gallon of water ran through the soil and the runoff pH has gone up. Currently at 8.56? I was thinking at some point I would hit a tipping point and it would go down. It just not happening. Any thoughts?

Jesus, that’s crazy, the general remedy for what you are dealing with is to run a 6.0 solution through the medium. I’m gonna go check a few things real quick….

Here is a pic of the plant. Like day 16 of flower. It's not showing any signs of stress, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around what is happening.

i’m late here but what’s wrong? plant looks good..

Really high ph run off, keeps going up even with a 6.0 water feed. It’s odd. Can add 10 parts water 1 part lemon juice/vinegar to neutralize the medium some. I’ve just never had that issue. As I never ph.

My ph been going up with each watering. It seems to have started when I transplanted into a new bag of promix BX. Each watering it has been raising. So today to face this issue I am running water through the soil at 6.0 pH. Each gallon of water I check the ph. I have been at it all day long and each time I put a gallon through the runoff pH goes up. I'm at about 55 gallons of water ran through the soil and my runoff pH is now at 8.56.

High peat ratio in that?

High peat ratio in that?

Yeah 80% peet

But promix is all I been using last few grows and never had anything like this happen.

 

[Pilted]

What's weird is when I bought this promix I brought it in the house then all of a sudden two nights later I had two mice in my house, but we just had trees removed on the property by the house so I was thinking the mice came from the trees that were cut down. Maybe they were in the promix bag and there is mice piss in the promix????? Idk I'm grasping at straws on that one and I don't think that's the case but maybe???

ok, i use the same bx but i never ph anything..
if theirs nothing visibly wrong than just keep going and forget about ph or ph’ing
but definitely stop flushing

 

[Pilted]

Haven't found a nest or anything related to mice in the promix bag but I'm only 1/3 of the way through it at this point so idk. It's the only thing I can think of.

Yeah I’m trying to sort it out, the peat should buffer the high ph, the mice ain’t it either…..

Yeah that is all I can do at this point. Idk very strange.

I would agree. On both. As long as your plants aren’t showing any inherent acidic or alkaline characteristics, I wouldn’t really stress it too much, like nick I haven’t ph anything in years. Since you are in that, I wouldn’t really worry too much. She really does look good.

 

[Pilted]

Alright well thanks guys I'm just leave it alone and see what happens. I got 3 different plants in this soil now and they all raising like this.. none of them showing any stress at all though so I'm just let it roll and see what happens. Need to feed the one I flushed now as there is now ferts left.
