most would be considering this site is full of noob growers..OK PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT GROWING. LISTEN UP, WHEN U USE PH'd WATER AT 4.0 and LETS SAY UR PH IS 7.0 AND U WANT IT LOWERED TO 6.4 TWO WATERINGS WITH 4.0 PROBABLY WOULD BRING THE PH OF YOUR SOIL TO A 6.4-6-7 LOL IT WOULDNT DROP IT THAT MUCH..WE ONLY CARE WHAT THE OVERALL PH OF THE MEDIUM THAT WERE GROWING IN IS NOT THE WATER, THE PH OF THE WATER IS USED TO CHANGE THE PH "IN" THE MEDIUM ddduuhhh..and no ur ph shouldn't be 6.5-7.0..i been growing for years and i keep my ph in SOIL 6.2.-6.5

Alright, so I got my PH solution tester with a small chart. I tested the bottled water that I'm using and I got a 6.0 reading (maybe less, because the chart goes from 6.0 to 7.6) I also tested my tap water and it measured at 7.6.

Because I ran out of bottled water, I got a gallon of tap water and ph down to 7.0, then watered my NL plant and stopped when I saw run off, checked the run off and came at 6.4 - 6.6.

I didn't test the C99 runoff, cause I had watered/fed her last night, cause she was droopy. I test C99's runoff tonight or tomorrow.

Here's some pics of the C99 out of the grow box. As you can see, she looks sick as hell. I'm thinking of harvesting her right now.

If he watered with water ph of 7 and got 6.4-6.6, why try to lower it when its coming out lower than whats going in? And in the proper range too? Checking the runoff isnt an accurate way to measure a soils ph. Since im a noob could you please tell me the proper way to?

I still say bugs

I'm actually thinking of harvesting these bitches tonight, the small leaves around the buds are still getting fucked up.

Should I harvest now or wait and see if they get better? They actually look quite dank. Can you believe I haven't even sampled some? You know what, I'm gonna sample some and if I like the high I'll just harvest them tonight.

Alright guys, thank you very much.

So could you please inform us noobs how to properly check your soils ph?

the best way is to take some of your soil put it in a cup stir it with the water ur ganna water it with and test it with a good meter..most likely thats what the ph of your soil will be after u water..and i personally wouldnt use those test strips cuz i doubt there that accurate, if thats all u can afford then its better then nothing.

Its going to taste like the poop cause it hasnt been flushed. When you do chop her down, tear apart the root system and check for bugs or root rot.

Or dig down a couple inches and check for a bad bug infestation

Ok, smoke report. I'm gonna time this....

I quick dried it with the microwave. I think I over did it cause a bit of smoke came out, even a little stem tip came out smoking. So, I stuff my mini pipe and smoke the harshesht shit ever. Black ash is not yummy. Slowly crawling it's way into my head, the high is so very different to what I'm accustomed. Holy shit I can feel like a warmth on my face. It's soothing. I actually feel paranoid.

Feels good man!

ok ok but be honest, have u ever harvested without flushing..had to be the same strain grown exactly the same?? i have and they had the same taste but the one that got flushed had a little more taste to it but nothing to get all excited over..the flushed plant also burned faster but i got a slightly higher yield and slightly bigger colas..i flushed until my ppms were below 200ppms..took me 4 flushes

no doubt, iv harvested without flushing alot of times, and to be honest alot of people dont even notice the difference, there even been times where i had weed without a flush, and weed flushed till the leaves were banana yellow, and people would say the unflushed weed tasted better.....but ME personally, i notice it, i even feel like the high is a little more diluted or headachy...but like i said im a total princess when it comes to my medicine

i feel u..thats how i am..i like to flush AT LEAST twice and i usually flush until my ppms are below 200 and then let it dry completley out..i think it just helps em finish cuz at the end of flower plants need lots of water to ripen..shit some vendor i know flushs for 3weeks..i've flushed that long before to and the bud was kick ass..everybody was wanting some..it was Jack the Ripper though so it coulda just been the strain..some strains just react different to flushes some get hella yellow right away some keep their color some turn purple some turn red and yellow and purple lol

word, somting iv learned is if you jar it to early, you can really ruin the smell of your herb...iv heard thats a prob in the shops out in cali tho, weed jard and sold way to early, a gram breaks down to like nothing....people turning 500$ plants into 1500$ plants

right on cali i honestly didn't know that i appreciate you sharing that though because when i've been lowering my soil's ph i've just been lowering the solution i'm putting in the soil just by a couple decimals. i was always told you don't wanna change your ph too fast because it can shock your ladies. good to know you can go ahead and acid the shit out of em if your ph is too high.
