I haven't previously. Tonight was the first time.Most bagged soil has dolomite lime in it already but you should not be changing the ph of your water in soil...just leet it sit for 24 hours if its tap water then its good
Really, I thought you were. When I have posted in the past( this is my second grow) I have been asked multiple times what the pH of my water was. I understand the soil and the microbes in it are suppose to help buffer pH fluctuations so the plant can thrive.Are you ph ing your water...cause you should not mess with water ph in soil....the soil is supposed to buffer your ph
Not recently but it's pretty ridiculous and that's with a three stage filter on the house. I just got a ppm meter so I'll bee able to test in future wateringshave you ever tested your well water for ppm/ec?
Thanks. Appreciate the help. I plan on going into FFOM on the next transplant. Just needed some starter mix for now. Yeah I figured a couple flush waterings, changing the light set up, getting some humidity back in there and then just some time but thought I'd get some opinions as well.To me it looks like light bleach or iron def....but i would wait for more ppl to have a look
I used to think that aswell but its not true.not having a ph meter is what's led to this prob in first place.sure some people find they can get away with not useing a ph meter but unless your a master at mixing soils and if you use bottled nutes then it's always good to have a ph pen to hand to take away the guess work if nothing else.Are you ph ing your water...cause you should not mess with water ph in soil....the soil is supposed to buffer your ph
That's what I wasn't sure on. If it was some sort of lockout. The two feedings they had I used the age old and cal-mag. (Didn't have the pens then so I don't know the ppm's of those)Best guess from me is that your hard well water and then the "rain" water are affecting the new growth. Also it may be whatever plant starter mix, wasn't optimum for MJ. The yellowing of the new growth is some type of lock out, or starvation but can't pin it to one thing (sulfur/ iron are suggested). Maybe a better pic and let us know what's the ppm of your water.
PS, I ph all the water/nutrients that I feed my plants with. Everything already in and added to the water affects the ph.
I thought it might help with the vigor since it would make things more available in the proper ph.I used to think that aswell but its not true.not having a ph meter is what's led to this prob in first place.sure some people find they can get away with not useing a ph meter but unless your a master at mixing soils and if you use bottled nutes then it's always good to have a ph pen to hand to take away the guess work if nothing else.
As I say I used to think the same and while I did get decent harvests with no ph pen I found my plants were healthier more vigorous and FAR more productive when I was phing my nutes.the best results will always come wen ph is right.in my experience anyway .
I advise anyone who uses bottled nutes-organic or otherwise-to invest the extra in a good ph pen and I promise youl never regret it.
Run off of 7.5 is high... water at 6.... but ideal you want 6.8 in and out.. and theyre probably OverwateredBetter pics. These are two different trays.
They were transplanted from 3x3 pots into these 7x7's. Winithin 1 1/2 - 2 weeks of sprouting they already had roots frowijg out of the bottom of the previous pots, so i don't think the stunting is from bad genetics.
Thanks. That's what I wanted to double check. I've been watering them sparingly. I wait until the soil is dry at least a half to 3/4 inch below the surface and they feel super light.Run off of 7.5 is high... water at 6.... but ideal you want 6.8 in and out.. and theyre probably Overwatered
They don't look great.are u letting the soil dry right out a good bit between watering ?keeping soil constantly moist can cause many a problem.Better pics. These are two different trays.

i cant read the small orange txt forget what the fuck you call them scientific acronyms. laughs..Run off of 7.5 is high... water at 6.... but ideal you want 6.8 in and out.. and theyre probably Overwatered
