It seems I have offended your fragile ego by not agreeing with your solution to the issue I had because it was wrong. There is no shame in being wrong, and I appreciated your suggestions to the issue. I do however take issue when someone who thinks they are the "end all", "know all", fountain of...

Without a predisposition to purpling, a given strain cannot be induced to turn purple. Certain strains will have more naturally occurring anthocyanins than others, and when switching to the “winter” cycle of flowering, will start to express those purple pigments innately according to their...

The color of the bud is genetic, not from stress.

I let my seed bud dry for about 4 weeks then rub them with your fingers to remove the seed. Store in a cool dry place and you'll be golden.

On another note, I just read of a dispensary grower that dries to 15% to 20% for his customers. Any thoughts on this?

For the hell of it I checked the humidity in some storage jars I filled up 5 months ago, it was 72%. Ut oh. No sign of mold or decay though, so I put the 20oz in paper bags, and will let it dry a little more. If this doesn't work I'll just cook with it, but do you all think it can be saved? I...

I agree. On my first grow I used ProMix 75% and amendments 25%. With that mix I didn't have actual soil, or peat, so I was always having to half guess what the plants needed. I'm not making that mistake again.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time believing this, but again, the ProMix PH range suggestion worked, and worked well.

ProMix is already ph'd neutral right out of the bag.

The PH change alone improved the overall health of the plant before I decided to try a different feed schedule. IMO the PH level was the issue. The ProMix suggested PH range was spot on.

You must have some kind of "magical" air in your drying room that the rest of us don't. That's the only explanation I can come up with, cause it sure as hell wouldn't work for most people.

If I dried for 2 weeks at 30% I'd have nothing but dust!

UPDATE Been keeping my PH at 5.6 to 5.8 and the plants are doing way better now. I'm also doing a feed /water or feed/ water/water and I think that's helping to keep the salts in control. I also added a little Fulvic Acid for better nutrient uptake.

I agree with Polish, looking at the plants and lower leaves it looks like over watering to me. I has some plants a few months ago that looked exactly like yours. I let my peat based medium dry out more between waterings and they took off

Not that I don't believe you, but why would Promix on their website urge a water ph of 5.5 to 6.0? I was running a ph of 6.5 to 7 so I assumed it was too high and started adjusting down because it looked like a ph issue to me. I also checked ppm runoff and had 600 going in and 1300 in runoff so...

https://www.pthorticulture.com/en/training-center/using-pro-mix-in-hydroponics/ I found this info from promix this morning while researching peat products. I didn't realize peat could retain quit a lot of nutrient salts and should be what I gathered would be a feed/water/feed schedule? I was...

Thanks I've been using Jacks indoor this winter, but will need more for the outdoor grow this spring.

Thanks for the reply's and info

I know peat is considered a soil less medium and has different properties than coco, rock wool, etc. Question is, what are the peat growers PHing their water to for best nutrient uptake? I've been going 5.8 to 6.3 but am having some issues that are PH related.

Where did you buy the Jacks part A for $55 a bag?
