    Very High Soil Ph

    They are very bushy with lots of branches and leaves. I had them vegging in a small cabinet for about 10 weeks because they were clones I took from my first grow right before flipping the first set of plants to 12/12 and didn't move them until I harvested the first plants. They are short...

    Very High Soil Ph

    I misspoke a little in my first post. I had moved my plants under the 600w MH about a week ago, but I realized it had only been a couple days since I actually transplanted into the 5 gallon pots. So I was able to pull them out with the original root ball intact, gently shake off most of the...

    Very High Soil Ph

    I'm on my second grow. The first one went ok and I ended up with about a pound of bud from 8 plants, but I had several instances of brown spots that damaged quite a few leaves. I thought it was Ca or Mg def because the issue got better after I started supplementing with CalMag Plus, since I was...

    Brown Spots Showed Up Today. Help Needed.

    So I'm 4 weeks into flower now and the brown spots had gotten worse over the past week on my Pineapple Haze and I even started seeing a few spots on my Blueberry and Strawberry Kush plants. I've been giving 2 tsp of CalMag Plus and 1 tsp of Jack's All Purpose (20-20-20) per 4 gallons of tap...

    Brown Spots Showed Up Today. Help Needed.

    Dyna Grow Bloom is the one marketed for flowering. It's a 3-12-6. But I've read stuff from several growers who disagree with the common advice about going with lower N and higher P during flowering, at least when growing in soil. Some of them use the foliage pro all the way until harvest and...

    Brown Spots Showed Up Today. Help Needed.

    My plants should be due for a watering tomorrow, so I think I'm going to flush, then do a very light feeding with just the 20-20-20 and CalMag and see what happens. I've been reading a lot of info saying that the high P bloom/flower nutes really aren't good. Quite a few people swear by Dyna Gro...

    Brown Spots Showed Up Today. Help Needed.

    So I'm a little over 2 weeks into flower. About a week ago, I started transitioning from the Jack's all purpose (20-20-20) to the bloom booster (10-30-20). A few days ago, I started seeing the brown spots, brown tips, and yellowing between the veins again on my Pineapple Haze. Looks almost the...

    Puzzled By Different Strains Growth Patterns

    Here is another. The red lines are the tops of 2 of the pineapple haze. The 3rd is hidden behind others.

    Puzzled By Different Strains Growth Patterns

    Here is a pic. Hard to tell maybe, but 8 plants, 4 in the front row and 4 in the back row. The blueberry's are the back right, front right, and front left. The 3 biggest. The 3 pineapple haze are the 3 smallest plants in the middle.

    Puzzled By Different Strains Growth Patterns

    Some took a little longer than others, but they all germinated within a few days of each other. But yeah, definitely could be stress related. Those PH plants seem to have suffered a little more along the way, since they were the only ones significantly affected when I had deficiencies. I've...

    Puzzled By Different Strains Growth Patterns

    Yeah, I've read that with hybrids, some will display more sativa traits and some more indica traits, regardless of which is supposed to be dominant. I guess the thing that seemed so weird to me is that for each strain I'm growing, all the plants of that strain look very similar. So it's not like...

    Puzzled By Different Strains Growth Patterns

    So I've got Blueberry, Strawberry Kush, and Pineapple Haze. The Pineapple Haze is supposed to be 70/30 Sativa dom, but it's the shortest plant by far, while the Blueberry, which is supposed to be Indica dom, is growing like crazy. I switched to flower on 9/21 These are the dates I measured...

    Brown Spots Showed Up Today. Help Needed.

    So I found some water test results online for our local water supply and it turns out our tap water is soft (low Ca and Mg), but has fairly high sodium levels. I've read that too much sodium can block absorption of Ca, Mg, and K. Seems to me like that explains the issues I had, since some all 3...

    Brown Spots Showed Up Today. Help Needed.

    I've been adding it every time I water (about every other day) at 1 tsp for 4 gallons. I did the foliar spray a couple times using that same ratio. I've also upped the nutes to 1/2 tsp per 4 gallons and I'm using that on every watering. So far, it doesn't look like the brown spots have spread...

    Brown Spots Showed Up Today. Help Needed.

    I had already ordered some CalMag Plus, so I used that in the last watering and also did a foliar spray with just a little CalMag. Since yesterday, the leaves are already greening up a little and the spots haven't gotten any worse, so we will see what happens.

    Brown Spots Showed Up Today. Help Needed.

    I watered this morning with 1/2 tsp of Jack's per 4 gallons. Double what I had been using, but still only half of what the instructions say. I also added 2 tsp of Cal-Mag Plus to my 4 gallons of water, which is 1/2 of what Botanicare suggests for soil. The CalMag seems to have lowered ph a...

    I've got this ph meter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YBUH4RC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I watered all 8 plants and collected all the runoff in a bucket, then measured with my tester.

    Brown Spots Showed Up Today. Help Needed.

    Maybe I should have, but I didn't add any lime to my soil. I'm using Just Natural organic potting soil from Walmart, mixed with 30% perlite. Until the brown spots showed up, the plants have been doing great and the soil drains well.
