Ph is crucial! Anyone who tells you other wise is not an experienced grower.. Keep temps at 77, go easy on the nutes. They need very little during veg. Use CLEAN WATER city or tap water may contain a lot of tds's which will lockout your babies
 
Thanks alot I got my ph meter together an I read the run off it was like 5.7 so I just watered em with some spring water ph 7.9 a few hours ago I'm not sure it's helping tho the hydro store guy said I could have a nitrogen deficiency or something ?

I always water with properly ph water. Between 6-6.5 for soil. U get lockouts if you are not in this range. If your water is at 7.9 make it 6.3 before u water
 
Ok I had a question about that to if Im useing organics is there anything for raising or lowering that's organic I see earthjuice has a organic ph up an down but I can't find it there's like 5 hydro stores around me tho so I'm going to try to find it maybe tomorrow but my thinking behind the high ph water was to try to bring the soil up but I guess not idk why this dumb ass black water seems to be the only one doin this

Hardley nitro def.
My first guess would be excess.
I am familiar with the downward taco and claw as a lock out. Not needing more food
Hydro guys are terrible.
 
Let me tell u something about organics.. It's all bull shit! I did it for several years then I got into chemistry. I then realized the whole world is made of chemicals.. The rain that falls out of the sky isn't even organic. You can find man made contaminates in rain water. That's truth! If your doing organics because your looking to be self sustainable and using compost/waste from food you eat that's one thing.. And right on rock it out! But if your growing organically just to say your growing organics you may want to rethink some things. If you use semi organic nutes like Botanicare, gh and others you will get much better results, along with hygrozyme and great white products.. All those beneficials break down the chelates that bond npk. Essentially your plant is organic because it's using only organic molecuels from the chemical compounds :) it's all chemistry brother.. If u still insist on the organic rout you can use lime, dolomite and citric acid for ph up and Down
 
Yea the hydro store guys are hardly any help besides all the free shit thay always give me lol but its not that I insist on going organic I just can't smoke anything that tast chemicaly an alot of people told me that's all about the flush an the cure but I'm a beginner so I figured there's no way I can get a chemical tast if I don't use chemicals if that makes any sense I'm just lookin for top quality bro I seen a few videos on YouTube that was saying for the best possible results start off usen advanced connoisseur a&b then switch to iguana juice plus the additives an i was going to go with that then I seen the earthjuice was organic or what ever an only like 70$ for everything I'll probably be moving on after this run any suggestions or advice
