Make your pH 6.5 on the nose.Thanks For the info and the threads. I'm all new to this and with the millions of videos and articles out there I'm just trying my best. I went through almost losing my plants from day 1 to 4 due to overwatering so I let them dry out. I read Many articles on making sure the soil is damp when you are transplanting them. So I dampened the soil, made an impression with a Solo cup and transplanted. The root balls all looked great and NO soil came apart during transplant. I then followed many suggestions of watering around the root ball that I transplanted hence why the soil looked more wet around the diameter of the plant. I have managed to always balance my P.H. between 6.0 and 6.4. Most recently right at 6.2 and this was my reading after making my mix with all my nutrients, macro nutrients etc. I guess that once I'm due for my next watering I will saturate the whole pot vs right around the current root ball. I'm just most confused because it's just one plant showing some sort of deficiency and they are receiving the same everything. But all I can do is keep trying. Thanks for the feed back.
I would not flush. Flushing is for when you’ve really screwed up - like accidentally dropped your bottle of nutrients in the pot. You’re plants good fine. Most of the time it isn’t lack of nutrients, but a plant uptake issue - which is caused by poor watering techniques. Some more (good) info:Looking forward to it on my next watering. It will be he'll of alot easier to get it at 6.5 vs 6 to 6.2 Out of our faucet it comes out right around 6.8. I have ow logged it in my journal to do watering with 6.5 PH. And will keep taking suggestions and see what happens. Should I keep doing half dose feedings at this point every other watering? Bump it up to normal feedings to see if it's nitrogen deficiency? Or should I do a complete flush my next watering and basically start over?
I have grown everything outside from apple trees to wheat and every kind of veggie. I grew up on a cattle ranch with a 1 acre garden, (5 acres, but only 1 was ours) We never went to the store for food. but when we started growing indoors, everything I knew had to change because it is a very different environment. You will catch up quickly, no worries.Like I've said before there are millions on millions of opinions out there and I've done best to try and pick and choose certain things that I think would be beneficial. Ironically i own a successful landscape buisness where I live, went to a Great horticulture school and have a vast knowledge in plants in general. But I will say it's crazy that a "weed" truly can be finicky. Honestly I'm playing around with different things just to see what works and what doesn't before I setup the room where I'll really be doing stuff in. These plants are autoflowers by the way and some say never to crop the tip, and some say to do it. I went against some people's judgments and with others suggestions and cropped it and within 2 days you could start see the formation of 2 seperate nodes right where I snipped. It will be great if all 5 plants do really well, but frankly if I can get one or 2 to do AWESOME I will be happy. I journal every time I do anything and take pictures about every 2 days. So far I'm 90 percent happy. It's just one plant out of 5 showing issues and all the newer growth looks really good. I'll keep taking and following suggestions as I feel this site has been the most helpful
Autos, Ok. Most of us do not care for autos inside as they have their own schedule and many times develop weird symptoms when indoors. You will get some good smoke from them but photos in many opinions are much better. We like Feminized Photo seeds. Personal preference.They are all autoflower Grandaddy Purp
One of the main sources of confusion on sites like this, is that different styles of growing sometimes require totally different techniques. What works in coco doesn’t necessarily apply to soil (especially in terms of watering and fertigation.) You can get a ton of conflicting info where a soil grower tells you to throw your pH pen in the trash and a hydrophobic grower insist you need to measure pH religious. Both are right for their setups. I grow organic, outdoor in dirt. I have no reason to test my water pH or runoff EC (as neither are relevant in my grow). The Farm is head and shoulders above most of the bro-science dick swinging sites out there. Read through a couple of the grow journals with similar setups and you’ll find a lot of good info.Like I've said before there are millions on millions of opinions out there and I've done best to try and pick and choose certain things that I think would be beneficial.

Congrats!That's my plan. I was on time constraint because we are getting married and leaving for Jamaica in October for 10 days. I was hoping to time it all to harvest right when I got back. We are buying a house in December also which is when I'll really dive into it and hopefully have my own personal growing space. WE are bound to a small townhouse with no yard at all so between time constraints and space limits so that's the only reason I went with autos. I am 100000% on wanting to do photos vs auto's from here on out.
100% ^^ Ours is as organic as we can get it under the conditions we have available. We don't mess with pH unless something insane happens overnight, but we have strict rules for making sure the entire media is watered each time because of hydrophobic soils.One of the main sources of confusion on sites like this, is that different styles of growing sometimes require totally different techniques.
