Blueberry - Organic Soil - 600W LED - First Grow

You need to pot them in some different soil, that looks like mostly wood bark and wood chips. My guess is their starving for nutrients. Is the ph still running high?

Yeah its the happy frog soil.. thats what i was thinking to they are probly begging for nutrients. I havent watered since the last time i posted it. But im not going to be able to go to the hydro shop till after work tommarrow and get some perilite and ocean forest soil to mix with happy frog.

Get 3 gallon if you can swing it. They work well for both autos and photos

Lmao forgot to mention that. Thats why i wanted to get like a one or 2 gallon one then after it outgrows that one switch to the 5 or do you think i should put it straight into the 5?

Photos benefit from gradual increase in container size, autos you'll want to put in their final pot from germination

Bigger is better cali! Good luck getting that fixed looks like it is spreading quickly.. Definitely the soil, i dont remember so many bark chips being in the happy frog.. weird.

--UPDATE--

So today i got home and #1 & #2 were drooping they were very thirsty.

I bought 3. 3 gallon fabric pots ocean forest bag of soil and perilite .

I mixed the soil together at the percentages toast said he did his. But i ammended mine with 3 tbs of azomite and a hanful of earthworm castings since i had them on hand.

I mixed everything up very well and i gave them water i had bought a gallon of drinking water its ph was 7.6 but i ph'd it down to 7.0 with 3 drops of lemon juice to the gallon. The ppm of the water was 30ppm. I transplanted all of them in there new pots and added great white and mykos to the roots and distributed the 1 gallon between all 3 plants. Now they are starting to pick thereselves up and not droop anymore. Hopefully my girls start to look better sooon. im curious on what the recovery time will be?

Sorry didnt see you had updated.. Hmm that is very interesting using lemon juice to drop the ph.. im not sure if it would do any harm or not. Ive got 3 gal fabric pots too, the ladies love them and the soil dries out much better. All of what you did honestly sounds great man im sure you will see improvement with them in the next few days.. they will thank you for all that you did for them im sure of it!! Good job cali .

It works due to the citric acid. You can buy pure citric acid and use that as a PH down. In small amounts it is fine, and it is also used naturally by microbes in the Krebs cycle.

Iv been thinking of going to 5 gallon fab pots. I use 3 gal fab pots right now. And for my grow area, its about the right size. But have just been wondering if I can keep my ladies the same size, but yield another zz or 2 from the increase in pot size. Iv got to where Im harvesting about 3zzs a plant. Give or take a few Gs. But the plant itself looks like it could hold a bit more with its size. Mostly on the lower parts. But I dont know if its the lack of penetration from the Mars, or the fact I am only using a 3 gal Fab pot. From what I read...
Average 1zip Per Gallon of soil. But with them being fab pots, maybe more?? IDK But I pay a HEFTY price for soil so the extra 2 gallons matters to me. Anyone grown in both 3 gallon and 5 gallon fab pots? And happen to keep the plants about the same size? just wondering if there is more bud growth I guess is what Im getting at. With more soil. Not just overall plant growth, After that. After Veg and stretch. Is there any advantage at this point to have an extra 2 gallons of soil for bud growth? If so, wonder how much? Is it like the saying? 1zip per gallon?

Most of what I have read seems to point in that direction. That the more room your roots have to grow the thicker the topside cell structure it can support and feed.
