Yeah your pH is fine. Dont get use to that 5.5 though. Have it at six to be 100% sure your elements are all being absorbed at the very best possible way. Tiny little things like that will boost your yield and overall healthiness. Floro + helps absorb nutes better, so you'll be fine.

In no time she's going to be in good shape. Look into a health additive for your next grow. Something thing like pro-tekt. Doesn't have to be that one, but something that helps with big diseases and also insects. You won't regret it. I'm going to use that pro-tekt my next run. It's cheap as hell.

I had bag seed growing for my roomie in soil and that had Lil bugs flying around and crawling in the dirt, I did Lil research and I gathered a few lady bugs, haven't noticed any bugs on my plant yet

I'm freaking out I woke this am to find my ph@5.3 and on top of that my ppm meter fried. Trying to decide weather to flush the plant with ph water no nutes until my ppm meter gets here. What do ya think

your plants are looking like you got rid of the phosphorus problem you had going on, good job bro. if you dont have a hydro store near by i suggest you just feed them plain water. add in some 1-2tbsp of molasses if you have any near by.

Well the ph I had at 5.9 2 days ago when I put fresh nutes in, and this am the ph was 5.3. When I did the nute change I ph the water first to 5.9 from , 6.3 (tap water) then added the nutes, the ph then dropped to 5.3 and I had to keep adding ph up. Am I suppose to keep adding and adding ph up to get back to 5.9 cuz I swear I had to add like 5-6 ml of ph up to get where it was at 5.9. And overnight it dropped to 5.3 wtf.besides that my TDS meter fried must have got wet, the new one comes tomorrow. Anyway I added ph up to resivor to 5.9 so hoping that didn't mess up my ppm.

haha dont worry about it bro it will itself back up, its your plant telling you to super crop the girl out. :D yeah you should be good with just adjusting your pH.

Dude two days ago I did the same thing, I made a new tent and two of my lights broke. I had to replace them and now I got some rebar wire and tightened it securely. We learn. Haha. When it fell my bucket was to the side, I had a feeling so I moved it. Forgot to put a pillow. Haha. Now take that math, and have your pH at a higher lv now, try 6.5. Make sure to clean everything. Drip hole, drain, pebbles. All very well, I'm sure that's what it is. Mine actually goes up. Idk why yours goes down, so mine I mix at 5.5-6. So when it gets in the resovoir and starts flowing it will get higher. 6-6.5. Then in between I use pH down, not more than 2 ml a day, 2 ml a day of pH down = 14 ml for 7 days. I probably adjust it 3 times a week. At that. It starts good. But I used those numbers in case your pH went down everyday. Adding too much can mess you up.

This all can sure stress a guy out damn.btw the root ball doubled in size in the past week. So this super crop thing... just tie most the sides down to open middle up?

Yeah it does. Especially since your putting in money and the extra time. I worry all the time. The whole point is to just to get light everywhere. Its easier to start earlier. Way earlier. Since your already has a main idea of where to go so the hormones are already at the top. You can just try to get light everywhere by somehow doing it but without hurting them. I would just keep it like that. But switch the poistiong of the plant often. Ask for another opinion though. I'm all about not making the plant suffer too much.

I had only topped the plant once but few weeks ago I drilled holes in the top of bucket and pulled the colas drown to the sides gently to open the middle and few small ones grew up it center. Think I got the idea. I also tied the stem on both sides to keep plant center cuz it's top heavy. Idk if you noticed, idk if it does much but I have a 225 led light panel think only 14 watts but I got that shining through the middle of plant. At one point I had 12 100 watt bulbs but caused to much heat . I hear everyone saying keep cfls an inch or 2 from tops... that's a mistake, I'll send a pic later when lights come on to show my ghetto rigged setup lol
