Second grow, White Widow X Big Bud Feminized. Hope you enjoy :D!

So a bit of relief, as I haven't slept yet. The issue has had me to worried.

The owner of the hydro store is going to hook me up. The tester for coco coir, the medium tester, runs $8. The ph tester, thats more accurate than the pen models runs 15. Ill also be grabbing PH up and down.

Now he said I should test the coco to determine its Ph. Then either adjust accordingly in the water to change the PH of the coco.

Or..

Test the coco, possibly flush them all, then have the solution at the proper PH for the girls.

What do you guys think?

The moment I get the tester Ill start testing the coco and all. I wont fees again until I am able to go to the hydro store, that way the tester can test the coco.

Hope to hear back,

Good!! Ph can cause nute lock out. I use coco instead of soil and mix so every thing in there, including Garden Lime. I do not have to worry about PH. That why I took the path I did. Look at all your learning. lol You be alright, relax. Do some's...rw

So will just watering with nutrients, and the water thatd PH adjusted, be fine? Or will flushing be needed?

Thanks RW. On that note, time to smoke some trees.

I'm ready to be +Rep'd - I like your style and am definitely going to follow you like Twitter. Keep it up! Be looking out for a pm soon...

https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/529058-6wks-making.html - I will update s0metime this week 0r the next

So I went to the hydro store, bought a PH hand test kit for the water. Also, I bought the meter to measure the PH of the soil.

First I tested the water. In which you see the photos. According to the color, its telling me the water with nutrients measures in around 6.5 PH.

Next, I watered them while they are sleeping with the solution I tested, and measured all three of their Coco PH level. The PH levels of the girls are:

Number One---6.3 PH
Number Two---6.5 PH
Number Three---6.6 PH

I have the PH up and down. Do I now just experiment to make that water around the 6.0 area?

Feedback as soon as possible is great. I hope to feed them with the 1/4 strength again, but with the PH adjusted.

Thanks everyone :3

Ocho the Ph for coco would between soil and hydro, so I would put it a 6. The Guys on 12/12 thread I hang on put it at 5.8 for straight coco, they the ones who say they use epsom salt. Two reasons I went amended coco, no ph problems, no nutes!! Hang in there, it called learning hand on, best kind!!!...rw

I went ahead and created a new solution. I messed with the up and down, and tried to get the best color closest to 6.0.

Im going to water some soil not with plant, and test it out.

Thanks RW

Once they turn on I am going to feed them the solution I toyed with to lower the ph.

Another update tonight.

So it must be nutrient lockout due to the PH. Hopefully the solution I made up is close to the 5.8 to 6 range

I did the same thing over watering pre-nuted soil and raising ph and causing nute lockout. One reason for the super coco, I can water it more. I like watering! lol...rw

I made sure I did the PH up and down right and hopefully its close to where I need to be.

And if its not just some more afjusying.

I've never ran coco bro, but i know i follow the hydro chart for dyna-gro to a T and i dont have any problems, i dont 1/2 strength anything. Some of those leaves look like they are begging for nitrogen, could be locked from ph like everyone was saying a couple pages ago.

Yeah the PH according to the chart they posted is locking out, so hopefully in an hour when I water the PH will be better. All up in the air until its feeding time.

Thanks RL:3

So I went in with my new lowered PH water and it took them all to the 6.2 to 6.3 range, which is good but not good enough.

I toyed with the water, watered again but more water, waited, and took the measurements.

What a relief I have to see these readings.

Number one and number two are BOTH at a solid 6.0 pH

Number three had the best reading, and read in at 5.9.

The only worry is that the water I messed with and rewatered was under a gallon. So instead of 25 drips of PH DOWN it may require 30.

But now we wait. And hopefully see good results.

Thanks everyone

i use coco and i keep the ph at 5.8. coco has a natural ability to buffer itself to about 6.5 but locks all nutes out at about 6.2. i water once a day with nute solution at 5.6 and the bitches look healthy. coco is a hydro medium so you can water it as many times as you like in a day. i work so i havent got time so i water with enough solution to get runoff ie: 1 litre of solute to get 10 cl out the bottom of the pot or 10% some people say 30% but the amount of nutes your chucking away seems a waste, it stops toxic salts. then leave them 24 hours for next watering. the medium buffers itself so when i check it its at 5.7 to 5.8 even though i make the solution 5.6. i havent used that feed before but you should never got near the top end of the feed strength on any nutes otherwise youll fry the plants. i use ionic coco nutes top end of the feed is 7ml per litre i didnt get over 6ml and they started to show leaf burn.

also you definitely need to get rid of all tthe dead leaf you've aquired they are a big problem with causing mould and attracting bugs. cleanliness is next to godliness

you dont want to see my underbush then

sounds like an interesting strain, subbed.

Don't want to give you potential bad news, but the subforum for Female Seeds on another site has WWxBB being very hermie prone. You might want to check for nanners fairly regularly.
