good weed cnd, like I said before, sativas aren't big on nutes. so cut back on the feeding. maybe 1/2 to1/4 strength after you flush. if you do flush. as far as ph have you calibrated your tester?

I agree, more is less, more times than not in this game.
 
cnd, I dont even have a ph meter:) so cant help you with that. but I do know that if you have both a known ph solution acid and alkaline you should be able to compare the actual numbers to the readings you have on your meter. I have read of many folks here that needed to recalibrate their meters often. sorry about talking out my rear end:)

I normally feed once a week maybe thats what ill change feed every other week? thoughts ?
 
hey its all good :) im going to look into it, didn't realise you could calibrate one, and you dont have one lol brave man you are lol

I would go with what you have and then feed every two weeks or two plain waterings.
also different brands of molasses have higher sodium contents so you may look into that:) although I have never really had a problem there.

Cut that in half, it dosen't matter that you're givin em such a light dose, what matters is that it's too much right now! Try not to get in a set schedule, read your grow and try to anticipate what's going to happen next. My plants always go through stages, hungry for N sometimes, ready for bloom nutes, ect.. My plants just showed me the've had enough nutes and now they're going to start to finish, I know this by looking at them. Like fishy says, I don't trip on Ph in soil, and the soil that you're using should never have any issues, either with Ph or nutrient levels. I ph'd my water just recently, and my soil, and my nutrient solutions AND the runoff. I did all this cuz I had issues with a new nutrient line I was trying................Bro, your Ph is never gonna chang in the environment you're growing in.......ALL THAT IS FINE.....just back off the nutes and watch em grow!
 
Thanks for the reps man but it was straight old solid grade a fear lol that kept me solid

Hey, got your message so im giving it my best opinion. I looked up white rhino since i never dealt with it before had to get a little knowledge on the strain. It says its a hybrid mainly indica but from your pics it looks more sativa than indica. So depending on the breeder I guess.

But from the looks of the pics on the last page soil seems to be leaching more nutes then you may expect. Even though you feed them all the same you cant depend on how the others look and feed. Your white rhino remind me of one of my strains and it did the same thing when you feed to much nutes. Or not enough waterings between feeds, Not saying you over fed but nutes leaching in the soil can cause this as well. Or even water logging of the soil.

Me I always pick up the pots and really weigh them out each one before watering and looking at them each before feeding. If they dont need a feed then I wont feed them. Even in flower I go 2 waters before feeding and even though I have multiple of the same strains I still treat them as they were there own.

Theres no PH problem just water logging or leaching of nutes. Which could have caused a root problem. Dont know how big or small but for sure leaching is the issue. I dont grow in soil for alot of reason but If I were to again I would use some type of drip clean or enzyme and also let the soil dry out alot more between waterings and feedings. That way you insure that the nutes are all mostly used up before the next feed and there would be no water logging as well.

Just a note, soil holds alot of water in the lower areas of the pot. 3" or even more into the soil could be dry but the last 5" or so could hold alot of water and nutes. This all depends on how big your pot is though.


Ok a add on. From what ive just read, you said you dont give alot of nutes. If thats not the case then its for sure water logging. Leaching and water logging can both be a problem in soil. Not to mention your using FF soil. It could still be leaching nutes. And if you ever flushed and didnt wait until the soil was super dry then thats were water logging comes in as well.

Thanks bro, you're fine....AND, you have got the balls to pull it off! Weed growin is not for the faint hearted, a hasty decision can really damage your crops! IMHO you're doing fine, have patience and faith in your methods all the way through the run. You are very meticulous in your planning and applications, and have a sound plan.....just read em, treat em, and follow your plan....same treatment......just a little proportional adjustment....absolutely common occurance!
