Imo you can skip the pH-down unless you're growing hydroponically. cn

<edit> wait. You're in a coco medium? Dolomite is typically a soil-only fix. Why would a coco-based medium go so sour?

i was wondering that too, how could it have gotten to 3! he may as well ad some dol lime if the pH is running off at 3. IMO

not necessarily in the long run it will mean nothing, but a thirty plant will drink water immediately thus if the water is pH slightly acidic it can only help absorption rates.

It could be on a base of peat moss. I thought Sunshine #4 was coco, but it turns out to be treated sphagnum. That can definitely sour with age. cn

thats exactly what i was thinking. you confirmed. i kinda felt like i was going out on a limb too, it may well have coir in it but im thinking theres got to be peat for it to have a ph like that

Nope just coco perlite. I did find out that before I had them they were getting fed mother nutes half strength every day with a daily watering

its possible the coir could have been buffered to a 3pH with a lot of acidic feedings.

Thats my guess.. And if so wouldn't the flush have solved it, after a pretty big flush I got it to 6ph

pruning right now.. every snip hurts
haha

I'd be surprised if you don't see improvement. cn

here they are all pruned and lstd
ready for the scrog screen..
prob tomorrow

heres the gdp.. supper busshy gonna do great in scrog

then heres the blue dream... i broke the right main stem.. not completely i just put a cast on it
it looks like its doing good now


you can see how much i pruned out.. think i need more?

heres the yoda purple.. its getting big!!
i stood it up and it would be about 30 inches tall if i wouldnt have lst'd it



and the tang here... already smeeling great! best tasting herb ive ever had cant wait to see her flower

her she is all pruned up.. again think i need more or am i good?

you can see where im pointing where i broke the main stem

up close of the cast i put on. just a straw and tape
]
what i took off from all 4 plants




THOUGHTS!?!? I LOVE INPUT

I feel the pain from that last pic, but the glasses are a great touch!
The plants have an overwatered look to them imo. I'd let them dry out for a coupla days. cn

for sure after that flush..
the smart pots held on to a lot of water.

im gonna let them dry out for three and then water every two days
starting wed i might start feeding them the bloom nutes and then next mon put them under 12/12

sound good?

ok one more pic...

look at the density of nodes on this gdp stalk!!!

now is everybodys favorite time..... too WAIT! lol

now just sit back and wait up to a week maybe make the switch and add the nutes once you see noticeable improvement/growth.

Ill be making at least weekly updates. And whether or not I wait to make the switch, the scrog screen is going up tomorrow.. They are growing too fast! In the little over a week I've had them they have grown 6-9 inches! So its time to start my weave

lookin good man! they should definitely start improving within a week or so. definitely subscribed! can wait to see how they turn out!

a couple concerns... i checked on my sexy ladies today and the tang and gdp are exploding from the lst i did on them just yesterday..
the yoda purple and the blue dream however,
(yoda being the one with the snapped main stem, i falsely reported that it was the blue dream yesterday)
they look a little worrysome
the yoda just looks over wattered.. but its to be expected after a flush in veg

and on the BD this colloring of the top leaves and new growth puts me off..
it seems a bit yellow, and it honestly looks yellower in person then in this pic.. i tried to get the best shot i could of it.


am i worrying over nothing.. someone please give me some kind words, or words of advice :s
