My pH was at 7 so I was trying to lower it to the 6.5 range so I mixed some viniger with water. To whoever is a new grower DO NOT EVER USE VINIGER!! Go out and buy the pH down.

So I'm pretty sure this one is a no Brainer transplant and let it recover if possible.

For the second one I know I have some nute burn but I never seen them curl upwards like this.

This sucks because my ph meter and 400w HID just came in last night :(

And I have never transplanted before, how would I go about doing that to a big plant like I have? I don't want to rip all of its roots off.

Let the soil dry a little, press all sides of the pot and tip it upside down. The rootball should slide out.. IMO never wait to transplant when the plants are flowering. Best to get it to the final pot while in veg. Good luck.

EDIt - I see that you are now transplanting to save them... Maybe try flushing the vinegar out, it is water soluble.

I just went ahead and did the transplant. I shook as much earth off as I could without trying to lose any roots. I then replanted it into a new pot with dry soil. How long should I wait to water it?

So lets say this plant doesnt recover and dies. What should I do with this bud? Its my first time so I have no idea if its close to being harvested or not. It has a lot of white hairs and is frosty. I guess ill grab some pics of the bud and see what you guys say.

Anyways here are the pics of the bud, its really sticky.

Yes sir and heres the super simple mix i plan to on using

1 Bag Promix (4 cu ft)
6 cups Bone Meal - phosphorus source
2 cups Blood Meal - nitrogen source (as an expense saver 6 cups Bone/Blood meal mix may be substituted with varied success depending upon mix ratio)
1 cup Epsom salts - magnesium source
3 cups dolomite lime -calcium source & pH buffering
2 cups fish/seaweed emulsion – micro nutrients, amino acids, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium



I was looking for a easy mix that contained perlite and vermlite but haven't found one yet that didnt ask for crazy ingredients where i have no idea to get

How many weeks has it been flowering? and check your trichs to see if it's ready. As an aside I wouldn't be worried about leaves when it's flowering the bud looks good.

So it's been flowering for about 8 weeks. Give it another week to 10 days but be sure and check your trichs.

So it turns out after going to work and coming back that the viniger was just too much and got to all of them. They all are turning like dead ugly alien plants. I flushed the two I did not transplant with alot of water. Now I hope the soil just dries quick enough for them to save themselves.

Vinegar won't kill your plants, unless you just used way to much, I've used it for years. I use tap water and it comes out a little over 7 and just 2 or 3 drops of vinegar to a gallon is enough bring the Ph down to where I want it.
