GimmeTheGoods First Grow - Advice Appreciated

[GimmeTheGoods]

Thanks fiend. Ima water/feed em in the am and give em a shot of cal mag then see what happens.
what kind of water do u water with, RO, distilled, filtered, tap: Zephyrhills ph'd to 6.3-6.6
what is ph of soil: dont know
what is temps and RH: lights on varies 77-82° rh 50s. lights off 65-68° rh varies 50s to 60s
if using nutes wat is ur ppm or strength and type used? Dont know ppm, humboldt organics
have u done a thorough check for any pests? Yep,none

aright based on all this it does look like it would be a nute lockout or deficincy, if adding the cal mag doesnt right ur problem then its a lockout due to out of whack ph u might have to flush the affected ones if they dont get better to remove all built up salts in the soil. so just wait til tomorrow to see if they perk back up and if they are doin good a flush is not needed.

also since ur running organics u might not need to mess with the ph up down solutions cause if im recalling this right organics have a way of leveling ph within the soil and u altering the ph could mess up the things in the soil naturally fixing the ph problems.

if anyone can correct me if im wrong, please do

tryna help the best i can gimme

Thanks fiend, I gave em cal mag with this mornings feeding so ill see what happens in the next week. N whats up with not having to ph the nute mix? Are u serious? Im gonna research that but can u also find out for sure please? I use zephyrhills spring which is at about 7.6, 7.8 and after adding humboldt organic bloom n deuce deuce it drops to about 6.9-7.1......then I adjust to about 6.4-6.7 n I dnt find my milwaukee ph tester that reliable anymore. I constantly calibrate n check against my tap water n zephyrhills since I know there ph-s n sometimes it reads wrong fml so not having to ph adjust nutes would be fuking awesome

Hey sorry brotha, fuckin lifes been kickin me in the balls lately, and as im sure you can image, its not a good feeling haha..

so far i agree with whats been said, except im leaning more towards the nut lockout then cal def. thats exactly how my leaves looked when my shit was fucked up, if you want to find out your soils ph and you doint have a soil meter this is what you can do real quick. its not 100% but its close enough to tell you if your in the red or not.

but just flush the plant in question with ro water but be sure to collect all of the excess drain off into a bucket, once you have about 1/2-1gal of run off take a ph reading, then dump that and do it again, test it and if your good your good!, but if your in the red, way too high or two low, then you just have to correct it accordingly.

investing in a soil ph meter to go along with your water ph tester is truely key with soil grows. that way you know whats going into it and whats already in it, so say your soil was sitting at 4.2 with soil tester and you wanted it at around 6.5 after new feeding you could adjust the new fertilized water to 2.3 so when they mixed you would balance out. although having a fluctuating ph is good as long as you dont let it stay out of way for days at a time. but slow gradual changes are ok.

i would test your soils ph however you can at the moment and take it form there, you'll know right away with that, if your ph is good then its a cal mag, if its too high or low then you know its lockout.

hope there already looking better though! those shots are nice!

Update time...
First day of week 3 in flower

tent looks like a mother fucking jungle man! i love it! i give you props, i was too intimidated to do multiple strains for my first grow, because different strains call for different feeding and nut levels and shit, plus i didnt have allot of space but still, that shit takes skill and patience and so far that shits coming along good!


You know where you are?
You're down in the jungle baby, you're gonna dieee
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your sha-nanananananana-knees, knees.

haha i really just wanted to say that last part hahaha, that songs awesome! fuckin old school rock.

after looking through the pics in the first page in this journal, it looks like too wide of pH fluctuations to me and possible over fertilization. I wouldn't use spring water if the pH starts way above 7. find a water source that is just below 7 and use that. try distilled water. distilled water is boiled and the steam is collected and condensed back into liquid with no solids in it. It is just as good as RO water.

 

[GimmeTheGoods]

Lmao @ prodigy's guns n roses comment. Ur a fool! Haaaa! Thanks for the compliment man im trying.
@blue ill try some distilled with this weekends straight water serving n I believe u may be right about ph fluctuating too much,my ph tester is wack but I should expect that for $25. Ima get a new one this weekend. Might flush a few of em too. I feel like it may be a cal mag def cyz I havent given any in like a month n a half. Well thanks so far for you guys taking time to help me out.always appreciated n stay tuned for harvest this sunday,still dnt really see any amber but they r all cloudy n about 70% red pistils n calyxes look swoll. I wanna chop today im so anxious! Day 60 today of 63 !!!!

 

[GimmeTheGoods]

O yea been researching n reading about if one has to ph correct organic nute mix n cant find a solid answer its mixed half n half just like the theory of leaving a plant in 24-48 hts of darkness before harvest to increase trich production or even to flush or not......so does anyone have a real educated answer to whether or nlt u have to ph correct organic nute mixes?

So I was chrecking thru my garden last nite before lights out n found one of my confidential cheese strains dropped some nuts on me,very displeasing as I was looking forward to her yield n dankness. Had to be the biggest meanest one on top of that.....very pissed. Anyway she was three weeks into flower so ipulled what I could n got that drying till next saturday,probaly be about 5-7 grams dry. Thats my 3rd hernie thus far,one og18,one northern lights auto n now this one c.c. On the bright side ill be harvesting sscs tomorrow or maybe monday tuesday depending on things.i quick dryed overnight a couple lil nugs from the bottom n theu were immature n got a nice super head high surprisngly gonna do a mini flush tomorrow on the ones with heavy brown spotting which is getting worse :{ then hot em with straight water n cal mag on thursday then back to reduced nutes n see what happens. Peace

 

[preprodigy]

damn brotha! another one bites the dust huh?.. what genetics where those and did you fuck with feminized seeds or just regulars? so far it seems like my D.P. blueberry feminized seeds were about 50/50 hermies. id rather deal with 50/50 male femal then hermie. cuz at least males dont waste your fertz, once you know its male its dead unless your breeding. but hermies hold on till the last minute then decide to show there evil faces haha. i hate that shit!!

can wait to see the that sscs all trimmed and ready to dry/cure.

i decided to just post up pics on the monthly marks, that last pic was 3 days before 1 month and then ill post up another one on month 2 mark, hopefully then we can see some good progress comparisons. so far plant hasnt stretched much more and now is just in the swelling stage, i got some decent looking nugs going but nothing to brag about just yet. but hopefully this round will produce some worthy dank... only time will tell =)

 

[GimmeTheGoods]

Whats good prodigy, I got dna genetics n reserva privada feminized seeds that hermied. One from each but their just about the same breeders just ones in cali n the others in amsterdam. The northern lights which was the first hermie was a freebie. Yea i may not mess with feminized seeds again but some strains are fem only. Cnt wait to see them pics n gl with all that bro
