You should open a new thread (in the hydroponics/dwc section). People with more experience there and the OP might not appreciate this on his thread haha. To navigate to this page click :
Homepage > Hydroponics/Aeroponics > DWC/bubbleponics > Pencil Icon at the top right of page.

I have no knowledge/experience in Hydroponics / DWC so I don't want to feed you false information.

Just did it. Thanks again.

Tbh, you should've waited to flip her..atleast until you get all the problems wrinkled out. Now you've entered a whole new cycle that you haven't experienced yet with pre-existing issues. Also, it's hard to tell but the stems look kinda thin. She might have troubles holding her buds if she's too skinny. If there's a benefit to this, then its this. Learn from this plant and take preventative measures on the next run.

As far as sexing, I'm thinking a couple weeks yet.

Alright yeah that’s for sure using this as a good learning experience and have already learnt a lot. I have taken the soil ph levels and will apply images of what it read, I also did it 6 times in different parts of the pot to make sure. Is this a good ph? Thanks

The pH scale runs from 1 to 11, with lower numbers being acidic and higher number being alkaline. For soil, I believe the ideal level is around 6.5. You seem to be border-lining of that and 7+. When the pH rises in alkalinity above 7.5, the roots are not able to consume the available iron, copper, zinc, manganese, and boron ion in their vicinity. When pH lowers into acidity to less than 6, the root are not able to acces phosphoric acid, calcium, and magnesium because they lose their solubility. If the pH further drops below 5 then you may as well just water with bleach. Haha jk but it'd probably die. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for that so I think with me being just around 7 it should be alright or should I try to lower it to around 6.5? I’m not sure if .5 makes a huge difference but you tell me what you think I should do.

What I feel really matters is the water ph testing which by Monday I’ll come back here and report in on what the water ph is and the run off ph

Yes, the water testing will be better, but 7 is a touch high for the medium, but those probes are quite unreliable, so who knows. If it was accurate, a ph of 7 is 5 times more alkaline than a ph of 6.5, so yes, 0.5 ph matters alot!

If so it would be roughly around 7 so I am assuming it may be a tad too high so I may look around and see if I am able to lower it and yeah I understand due the the scale of the range of numbers 0.5 may be significant.

I'd hold off on trying to adjust the PH in your soil. Just make sure the water you feed next time has the proper PH level. Trying to adjust now could result in over-shooting and cause a bunch of new issues.. that your plant probably can't handle. She looks like shes on the verge of dehydration/death. If your medium is too dry, she might not make it for another 2 days.

You think I should water now then?

I'd wait until I saw some droop. That will let you see exactly what the soil looks/feels like so you can get a better feel for when it's time for some water.

When I put my finger in it feels dry and nothing sticks to my finger and the plant is light when I pick it up. Lights go off on the timer in 40 minuets

Sounds like it could use some water, in my opinion.

If I were you, I would judge it on my Humidity levels now. If your grow is similar to mine, then you'll have a humidity spike when the lights go off. With that being said, I avoid watering at nights so I don't run into mold issues. I would water when you get the chance tho.

Yea that looks pretty dry. Is the pot like...completely bone dry?

I see you're still cooking your plant with the aluminum foil tho.

Okay thanks for this just saved me ahaha alright I’ll just water the plant now until there is a water run off?

Yes, i only see 1 pic with the complete container visible, for that one, i'd say 1.5 L should be good. So as long as the containers aren't overly big for the plant, then yes, water to slight runoff.

I would start over it I were you,PH is not your problem ,not sure what kind of lights you got but flowering healthy plants under strong enough light is the way to go,not your way ,chalk it yup under lesson learned(gett stronger light and exhaust for heat)

I have just watered both of my plants in the 1.5l I watered it till I was happy with the amount I think it may have been around 500-550ml I added but there wasn’t any run off and I added about 150ml to my smaller pot and with that there was Nic run off
