My First Grow

[SPLFreak808]

Yeah I'm in the states. I'm in DC

Good luck with the grow! Did you're leaves taco up like that in the 88f temps?

I think its because they already amended the acidic soil with lime to match the water they will be feeding. For example, fox farms ocean forest will never get PH lockout unless



If it helps any, i water with a ph of 8 (hawaiian tap) and never had any lockouts since. I will not post links or argue, because it really comes down to knowing you're soil. Nothing wrong with PH'ing the water if the soil cant buffer it. Careful though, more microlife = more acidic soil = ph cant climb back up in time because the water was PHe"d down (asuming the micro-life didnt get cooked by h202/synthetics)

im not into arguing it either.... shoot a pic on the board of your grows up id like to see them ..

his leaves are curling from the edges not tacoing.. its happening because he's in hot soils and he's feeding on top of it. .

Careful though, more microlife = more acidic soil = ph cant climb back up in time because the water was PHe"d down (asuming the micro-life didnt get cooked by h202/synthetics) its a game of tug-o-war when ball parking the water to match the soil. If the soil isnt buffered enough then yes, you should ph or get true organic soil made for MJ. There is no short answer to a quick question like that except for using 6.8 ph balanced soil and water that isnt more then 2 points off. If lockout still exist, something is wrong with the soil (dead/defective) or water.

and i wasn't in anyway talking about lock outs occurring..

They have been inside but were originally in a smaller closet that got up to 88. That was 5 days ago. Now they are sitting at a cool 75

Phil no,i do not collect ocean coral its actually illegal to take them from beaches out here, i am an avid night diver though. im a DC electrical engineer, i build pwm/ic/hc/data boards for a living. I dont mind showing you my grows but i will have to private message them to you when i get home from work. I just got into organics about a year ago, i was PH crazy to begin with because i started with synthetics and always had lockouts due to salt build ups (noob mistake). Then had simular issues in organic soil untill i figured out PH down was screwing up the microherd in the soil(i used alot to bring 8 to 5.5 that gave me a run-off of 6.8-7.2) , thats when i stopped.

Just wanted to give an update of how she's looking right now. She looks loads better than before and is definitely getting bigger I decided to stick her outside yesterday.i'm going to grow her outside for the summer and keep my other six plants in the grow tent

 

[phil k]

loooks a lot better definitely healthy

Nectar is a great line but just a suggestion is use a soil like nectar#4 promix or just a soil with nothing in it. Heres a pic of nectar grow 4x4 tent t5ho veg 1k flower n nectar soil 2 sinmint cookies

 

[phil k]

yeah .. i mean veg is veg.. you can veg your plant properly by diluting piss.. no offense but the proof of any grower and the system is in the flower.

that being said they look good.
