Appreciated folks. My son has the same curse. I often ask him, "Why can't you just listen to me and avoid the problem in the first place?" Or something similar... I've always needed to make the mistake myself before I accept the results. Story of my whole life thus far lol. 😉

I did a lighter water through again tonight to verify my results from last night. To hell with water stress, these girls had a bigger problem. My numbers came in damn near perfect! Letting everyone dry out now.👍

No pH drift in the last 18 hours!!

The seedlings were fine, despite being in the same mix. Perhaps because they need less the slightly high pH didn't affect them as quickly... 🤷‍♂️ They got a media transplant/flush last night as well. Light flush again tonight. I Contaminated the tray with overflow widening drain holes in cups, so no test results on that one. In pH 5.9 In EC 1.0... Im not repeating the procedure without cause so I have to go on faith there ... Working in the dark I added injury to the insult of the media transplant and subsequent flushing by pulling the tip off of one of the first leaves on the widow somehow.... Ffs lol Sorry! 🤬🤷‍♂️ The Dresdens look good

Flower had a different issue but she's also limed so I'll include her too. She took a 3 gallon push to clear an anomalous blockage in the base of her pot. Shocked hard and recovered within an hour and a half of the incident... Visibly growing tonight... Smells busy in there too. I'm going in with a 50% larger feed from now on to ensure no more issues there... 😁

The clones have improved greatly and grown significantly but are still visibly struggling in the new growth... Time, I think now is the answer. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Forgot to take a picture of the Do-Si-Do, shes fine. Stalled above ground post transplant but fine. I see many roots in the holes of the bottom of the new pot already. No discoloration or droop.
In short I guess... I think I might pull through this one on all 4 fronts. I think I caught it very quickly.

It was quite the night. 6pm to 1:30am last night.
