It's bughotel, which all started taking in the autos that were from elsewhere and in bad shape.. although they perked up nicely they soured the milk.
I just need some catproofing which will arrive on Wednesday and then I can take the autos out, gonna clean the plant again, and the tent.. and then flower.
And then clean it all again as I don't want these eggy bastards in the next grow, start with fresh soil & new pots (without holes in them) and try again.
 
I can't wait, little greenhouse to put the autos in safely away from the cats will arrive today even better than tomorrow and I've ordered two large root pouches the size of the airpot so I can grow two of these in the future and I'm thinking about re-potting the photoperiod now.. I must do something, the smell in the tent isn't great.. I can smell plant decomposing with more leaves keeling over. So I'm gonna open her up and have a look at the roots and air her out.. and see from there, if they look survivable put her in a root pouch and see how she responds.
 
Took a regular pot as the root pouches were wide enough but apparently not high enough and decided against besmirching a new fabric pot with this soil, I'll have those ready for the next run which will be soon enough, she was droopy after the pot change but after a night already looking better.
Putting her on a light diet of only 12 hrs and well see what happens.

These are getting direct sunlight from noon till sun goes under which currently is around 9:45pm.
I know the tent isn't very high but these are Green-o-matics so I kinda expect them to stay well below 85cm.
And it's remarkable how much less gnats there are now, the tent isn't flying full of them anymore I mean there are still some but it's not when I tap the pot suddenly out of all holes little gnats escape.. and I see nothing flying in the greenhouse so that's good.

And argh it's been a couple of years since I flowered on 12hrs, normally I'd have a peek at the plant now, but nope gotta wait 4 hours more before I can have a look. kay could have snatched a couple hours earlier but I wanted to give me some time in the morning to be able to work on the plants.

She sure is, total sweetie.
Not sure if the weekend is nice, rather hard weekend, I'm doing a long fast, with no smokes, no coffee.. I want to reset a bunch of cravings like smokes, coffee & sugar.
And I've upped the exercise the past months..

I've added the net again, looks like I'll end up with pretty okay coverage.. I really can't wait to see what the buds will be like..

Yeah, that's not a very reliable piece of equipment..
If you want to check the ph of the medium the more reliable way is the slurry test.
Tbh your plant looks good regarding ph.

I know I know, but the meter does change depending on which pot I put it into, so I feel it's somewhat of an indicator, I could also see the needle move a bit back when watering with ph'd nutes.
It's just I'm still getting some leaves turn bad, could also be that the critters are too small to see.
I've already pruned many many bad leaves off her. I'd like to keep some for flowering :D
 
I found most of my problems came from the original water quality rather than ph problems, I've got hard water full of calcium carbonate.
I'm led to believe that it's actually hard to change the ph of the soil, as most have buffers in to keep the ph in range. If in soil and you're watering at around 6.3ph all should be good.

What is your water like?
 
Cool, we've just been discussing this in another thread.
Filter and boiling should take away most of the hardness.
It would be interesting to know your water ppm before and after the filter and boiling.

Can I just check what soil you are using for reference.?
