What'da hell? My bad never seen them made that small. Didn't know it was 4 inch. Filters reduce 20% cfm so less is going out really.

Hey all,
Got some new pics - and potentially some new problems as well... Looks like some nute burn on one plant, the runt...

#1 is doing awesome! Getting taller, and filling out nicely! I have no choice but to put both of these plants into flowering at the same time - what do you think I should do? Wait another week or so for the runt to catch up?

Take a look and tell me what you guys think...

*bump* Can anyone take a look?

I think it's nute burn... I had to put a bit more soil in the pot and because of that, some of the leaves were sitting in some water. I think it burned the plants a bit...

But it doesn't explain the holes in some of the leaves... haven't seen that.

It's not nute burn man, the holes in the leaves grow in sometimes like that, its fully normal. If you have a fan on them, sometimes the leaves rub onto the side of the container. Its normal.

Another couple days, then I'm going to switch them to flowering.... I already started them on 1/2 Sensi Grow and 1/2 Sensi Bloom in anticipation for flowering time.

Next watering I will start with Sensizym, Big bud, Bud Candy, and Bud Factor X with straight Sensi Bloom A/B... oh and 2 weeks of Voodoo Juice as well....

This one used to be the runt... lol Since I lst'd it a ton of new growth has taken place. All the Small leaves underneath exploded!

Gave them 1/2 grow 1/2 bloom, and have been misting the leaves with a spray bottle.

My pH meter is saying the soil is over 7pH, but I'm not sure it's accurate; I ran a few liters of water through the soil with 1Tbsp of white vinegar in it, and zero change in pH according to the meter. The plants look fine, it doesn't look like there's any defs.

The "light meter" on the pH meter is reading almost 2000 everywhere, and it pins all the way to the right if I move it up towards the light at all. Kinda neat!

The moisture meter seems to be working alright, I think I just got a really cheap unit (it's a freaking plastic frog) and it doesn't work that great. Does anyone have any tips for the soil pH meters?

I've never tried a soil ph meter. I use the drops and compare the color to the chart. I check the runoff water to get the soil's ph. I've done some research and I think most GOOD meters are expensive.

I just ordered some litmus paper, so I'll test the water before I give it to them to make sure it's between 6-7....

Pretty bummed that the pH meter doesn't work properly, it's got a magnetic rod that it measures with; and I think somehow coming across the border from USA to Canada screwed it up... either the X-rays, or scanner... I have no idea.... but at least the moisture measurement works!
