I appreciate the input, thanks. Also -125ppm? (Negative)? Not sure what that means or how I would achieve that. Unfortunately before I saw your post I decided to water with a gallon of nutrients pH to 6.5 and these were the resultsAllow your medium to dry out completely before watering again with a low ppm feed (-125 ppm cal mag and -275 ppm veg nute) ph’d to 6.2.
They are showing signs of overwatering.
If you have a fan in there, make sure it is not blowing directly on the foliage of the plant. Circulate above and below the canopy.
Also, the pruning advice should be taken. Trim like the bottom 20% off those things and clean up the centers for some improved air flow. Anything that touches the soil has to go.
I water until I see runoff and stop. About a half gallon in a 3 gallon pot works for me.I appreciate the input, thanks. Also -125ppm? (Negative)? Not sure what that means or how I would achieve that. Unfortunately before I saw your post I decided to water with a gallon of nutrients pH to 6.5 and these were the results
PPM = 921
- 3tsp big bloom
- 2tsp big grow
- 1/2tsp Cal mag
EC = 1860 us/cm
pH = 6.51
Runoff =
- pH = 6.37
- Ppm = 870
- EC = 1749 us/cm
Seems in range and hopefully will be good, only did to one plant so time will tell. As for being overwatered I would not doubt that cause when I tested the runoff originally it was around 4-5 pH so I dumped gallons of plain water pH at 7 in until the runoff came out at around 6.27 to flush salt buildup and then let it dry and ran one more gallon at 7 pH to be sure and runoff came to about 6.7 pH. Then yesterday I ran nutrients pH at 6.5 with the results I got above. Hopefully I did the correct thing. I am still New and trying to learn to keep the soil pH in range which I find difficult because I am unsure exactly how to test properly or monitor and the cheap soil pH testers are garbage from my experience. That’s my main issue figuring out the soil pH so I can keep it in range for proper healthy growth.
Also as for when I water I heard I should water until I get about 20% runoff every time. Would you say this is correct? And in a 5 gallon pot I assume about a gallon of runoff would be the desired result? Thanks again I appreciate any and all input you guys are awesome here.
Thanks and no it’s my third grow, well sorta and I never really paid attention much to soil pH before. Kinda half assed the first one from not being around tending to it and letting it dry out. I was gone and forgot along with not having a regular feeding schedule. So I only got like 2 1/2 ounces out of it, granted they were dense nice buds but it hermied on me. Might have been cause I think someone else being nosey opened tent when lights were off in flower or just stress or maybe the seeds not sure exactly.I can only offer this. If its your first grow try not to overwhelm yourself. They look really good to me. I struggle too. Relax and enjoy yourself. Patience is key.
Always research your genetics and use reputable seed banks and ph is 1 of the most important things. I don't leave for more than a day while growing. I use hydroponics though. Your doing great!Thanks and no it’s my third grow, well sorta and I never really paid attention much to soil pH before.

Not my first no but still new to this. Soil / fox farm Ocean forest. The soil pH was issue I believe, slow growth and starting to show deficiency signs probably from lockout due to pHIs this your first grow? What is the medium? They don't look bad what is the issue? And if you want to prune do it...I love to prune I feel like it diverts the energy from going into leaves and making more branches/taller branches.
Yeah i hear that. It was Gelat.og from seedsman. They seem to be good but what’s your take on them? Also who do you use if you don’t mind me asking?Always research your genetics and use reputable seed banks
