Shes is and i kinda just ignored it and focused on the calcium thing so my slurry came out to 6.8 which @ReikoX was right on the money

So i have them some Herculean harvest at 6.1 to combat the higher ph

I fed everything the same why are some different i wonder

Every plant is different… some can tolerate more, some less. Makes running multiple different plants difficult at times.

Even if they’re the same strain?

I know it’s possible to have the “runts” meaning plants that just have problems. So this must be what I’m experiencing. That being said if these are Fem seeds and all 6 are female I’m going to toss 2 of the divas of the group

Yes, even the same variety. Just like siblings may look more like one parent or the other…

I will be cutting out majority of their nitrogen no more Medusa’s magic and no more Athena’s Amina’s

But it’s tea day so some recharge and SLF is in order. I’m going to pH my water to 6.1 add recharge mix it up then add SLF

They’re still getting some nitrogen from Gaia mania (bloom nute) and to be honest i might start flowering soon lol I’m scared they’re gna get too big I’ve never done a run without training so I’m curious.

Also i got a dechlorinator like mid last grow someone said save your money but seeing how my one plant has been praying pretty much the whole time using dechlorinator. I think it works and it keeping my microbes Alive

Well yesterday i noticed some plants are fading between the veins…and hooking…major pH problems it’s hitting them all now i said it was only a matter of time. And that time was yesterday lol i gotta take slurry tests of them all write em down compare and take action accordingly which might result in a corrective pH flush ugh

So if it’s too high I’m just going to “flush” or water with Herculean harvest at 6.0

And after going back and watching some videos on how to bring down pH in nectar that’s exactly what Scott recommends Herculean harvest at at 5.9 6.0 if you’re solely focusing on pH and not feeding the plant if my plant needs food I’m going to add some Gaia mania but judging by my PPMs of 500 in the rest i did the other day i don’t thibk they really need food but if I’m planning on flowering soon it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea

What sucks is that in each feeding I’m adding Olympus up (liquid limestone) so since it’s limestone stuff is adherent to the soil causing my pH to drift up. So by adding Herculean harvest (very acidic stuff) that’s breaking down the limestone making it less alkaline. I’m kinda debating if i should water till a little run off each time if that would fix this problem or do feed water feed water like i said in an earlier post

So long as what you are feeding is low in N it shouldn’t be too bad, but I would go with just water for a couple of times, after your herculean flush to be safe. I can’t fathom this nutrient type, but to me if a plant is getting too much it needs cutting back from on each watering or 1 feed and then plain water until it needs more food.

I thought i was understanding it lol

That’s what these preventive flushes are for i assume and when i say flush i mean 5% 10% run off which is what i used to do… also noted dr growth was a terrible idea lmao i assume that’s what caused the N things…i know I’m having a pH problem do i even need to check am i just being lazy know

Well you probably are understanding it as you’re using it and I am not. Just my point of view of what seems logical but I dont know what the herculean flush has in it, to me flushing with a nutrient seems counter productive, but I have never grown using bottled nutes. Trevor Lahey is having to do the same thing atm, because of build up but he is recycling his nutes and starting a drip feed instead.

Yeah it does seem counter productive.

But Herculean harvest helps carry nutrients by calcium so the idea of flushing with it is that it’ll wash the salts away and Flush all the bad shit Away while still providing some kind of food

MSDS says it’s just steamed bone meal and food preserve with mint extract

Well they should know how it works, so I would do as recommended on the bottle :wink:

Yes haha as we speak i am doing a Herculean flush at 6.1 and I’m watering till run off tests at 6.5

I always hate the day after a flush :confused: hopefully i fixed the problem but only time will tell!

Well i May have a problem…they’re gna need to be transplanted…but I’m not allowed to go out my family is isolating and the way things are lookin the hydro shop is probably going to be closed if they’re not already. If push comes to shove and i don’t have enough 3 gal pots would you say fuck it and flower in 1 gallons anyway? I may have to order off amazon

LOL I’m starting to panic not cuz of COVID19 but my plants :sob:

Fading between the veins in leaves is visible as fuck i guess I’ll do a slurry again and see what’s up if my pH is in check then i just have to feed

Idk what do you guys think

They are not fading they are burning up, Those spots that are appearing are nutrient collection points where moisture leaves the leafs, and the nutrients collect because they cant go with the moisture. You could probably drop 5 shades of a lighter green and they would still be healthy. The new growth coming in on your last pic is the ideal colour really. When plants start to burn bad they will get lighter as they yellow, like my last lot.

Heres a pic. Right bottom corner. work your way up from there the new growth at the top coming in and looking good. Then the leaf end tips start to burn a bit on the older growth, then lower down they have started to go pale and bur along the edges of the leaves, and at the bottom they are in a full necrosis crinkling and burning

Holy shit! I See i see. So i have a problem of feeding too often. And dr growth was a bad idea lol…i just like using products i guess.

Alright so
1 thing at a time get ph in check

lay off feedings

My constant feedings has created a buildup of Olympus up which is liquid limestone causing my pH to drift up. So that explains that with feedings now since i did do a light flush i hope that i not only fixed my pH but flushed out some nutes. I’m not going to rely on that flush to rid some nutes. I hope tho lmao i don’t wanna flush em again.

So i gotta question. Would it be a bad idea to hit them with an instant tea?

I believe I did the same thing on my last grow bud.

Anything that increases nutrient uptake is going to make things worse, upping your humidity if possible will slow down water and nutrient uptake. Basically I would just flush, then just water for a week and see what they are like then. Once you have burn its going to be difficult to see improvement on old leaves so you will have to look at the new ones to see how well its working. If the new leaves have no tip burn after 4-5 days you are probably getting back on track, but its not that bad really atm

For sure see now i thought microbes work with the plant and don’t send nutes if not needed. Not the case huh lol.

I’ll try out just 6.1 ph water for a week. They have drastically slowed growth haha thanks always @Shadey
