Oh christ, one thing goes good and another goes to shit. The overwatering droop is becoming wilt. Doing soil tests wo about a half hour plus a bit for results. Oh well, here I go with adventures in diagnostics.
Black Gold base seedling soil
pearlite
bone meal
mag via epsom/water mix
Home & Garden A&B with water every 4 days
Vivosun 2x2x3.5 tall
100w LED full spectrum top, 100w Z shaped bulb full spectrum side
temps at 65-67
rh at 50
18/6 light/dark

one use of copper fungicide like day 3 out of 58 so far
Shorty topped and trimmed and trained, tall one full wild with like one support and a leaf guide

If I have to "shake out the roots" I'm blaming god, this is not coincidence you fucker.


THE GUIDE CHART

THE TEST PICTURE

Balls high Nitrogen, Very low Phosphorus, Very Low/Low Potash, pH when it's not absolute milk looks at about 6.8-7

light is 12" from tops

As an offering to the forum gods, have an unpublished picture of Snoop and Warren G (I think) from the cop that arrested them for negligent discharge something or other (it's illegal to shoot at other people). Year forgotten. LA.

I have no where near the credentials of the experienced growers on this site

I have learned how to grow in used soil , synthetic nutes, relatively inexpensive LEDs. I’ve kept myself supplied with cannabis for about two years now.

All that said.

Forget about that testing stuff learn how to water and achieve dry back in soil and you be will leaps and bounds a head of the game

A kinda heart shaped London Broil

Home grown zucchini fried

with homegrown herbs Thyme and Oregano with some dried onion. Topped with grated Asiago and in the broil for 10 minutes. Gotta eat something.

In that spirit I don't know that it WAS over-watered. by chart the nutes are in a pint plus a half a cup of weak mag-water. Nothing is even close to the top end of the charts, if even middle. Theoretically if it's not over-watering then root fungus caused by the change to the basement room? But the air has two big filters and two dehumidifiers (divided ranch basement) so the air is quality. Plus the air is comin in on level 2 setting in a big vivosun inline fan into can filter.

NICE... ours are huge this year as well as the berry crop, but not ready to harvest.

Agree. I saw a request for a quality pH & ec meters earlier and they'll all great when new but once you find you don't need them they're crap

Once you know what you've got and how to make that work there's no turning back

I haven't used a meter in 6 years. I do recieve a report from the Vista Water company every 6 months alerting me of any changes in my 7.0 250KH has been the same since who knows when but I've never seen any variations in 12 years. I've learned how to make that work

I figured my 2 prong meter was trash and I was right, I use test tube kits exclusively. The ph keeps coming in milky as fuck but high 6... 6.8, shouldn't fuck with it that bad. No water in the drip tray on either, almost never is the water seems right on but the over was a guess.

Dirty secret. No need to ph in soil Tested my PH once. It was 6,8 ish from the tap.

Guess what? If you’re on city water in the US , you’re probably ok for soil growing.

I use my two prong for light measures. Very helpful

I cranked her over. Let the LST begin

 

[ChairmanFester]

I mean... violent levels of nitrogen? In other words, "plant is bomb"? Is that then a nutrient overload caused lockout of some variety. And how to buffer?

here is normal color versus the one single leaf showing any coloration response and I only just now found that one

I'm not a fan of soil grows. I like coco for several reasons and one is I know what I'm giving the plant, honestly no guesswork.

Follow @Mikedin as he grows exclusively soil. He makes it. Amazing stuff but not for me

Learning to read the leafs is great way to learn your plant.

They eventually all turn ugly. Unless you know how to give every single bit of nutrient until the very end.
@GNick55 is awesome at that stuff
