I started with 2 plants in soil with the goal of putting clones in a hydroponic setup. I built an ebb and flow system and transplanted the runt of the two plants that looked unhealthy into hydroton, that one ended up turning hermie. I used 100% miracle gro and then transferred the plant in question into a larger pot with a mix of perlite, peat moss, and moisture control MG.
This plant has been flourishing it's entire life, it was extremely dense with tight nodes in veg and has produced a kola the size of my forearm, it has shown very slight deficiencies in some of the middle leaves but has always looked very healthy. I have successfully taken 8 clones from her during late veg/early flowering which are about 20 days into reverting back to veg. I didn't have a calendar right away so I am guessing on the date I went 12/12 but I have about 6 weeks since they went into flowering(~7 days after switching to 12/12).
I only recently started examining the trichromes under magnification but I don't see any that are CLEAR all look at least some type of cloudy. I have recently seen a few sparse amber trichromes. I did not get a soil PH meter and never messed with it because the mother seemed so healthy. This weekend I tested my run off water(pre ph'd to 7) and it was coming out at about 4 .
I think there is about 2 oz to harvest right now. Should I try to correct the severe PH problem? Will it cause problems if I let it run the next 2+ weeks to fully finish flowering with the low PH? From what I have read I would prefer a batch with less amber trichromes then cloudy..... I am kind of anxious since this is my first grow and I have several clones on the way. Also, the 6 weeks is a conservative guess of the time in flowering.
