Max's First Grow - Soil - LED - Painkiller XL

dont worry about the ph if its a one off. during my grows i add water with no ph adjustment. Just make sure your next nute feed is phd and allow run of to ensure no ph hot spots.

when you come around to flushing use plain water also with no ph down.
 
I don't own a ph meter even around where I live the ph of the water is pretty steady. I tested it once with some liquid shit and it came out to around 7. oh i used the biobizz line nutes/soil . What are the essential oils suppose to do??
 
your ph is probs landing in a correct range for soil when nutes added so in that sense you woyldnt need to ph adjust. But ph is important and if you dont know what it is then it will make it more diff to diagnose priblems if you have any.



Also Max the dying leaves are no prob. The leaves below the canopy die off as the plant uses them up for nutes, usually because your nute schedule is out a little but its no prob. just pop them off. Remind me of what you are feeding again?
 
ps just because someone has never had a problem by not ph'ing nutes doesnt mean its correct. I can drive my sports car with a blind fold on and just because i didnt write it off doesnt mean driving with a blindfold on is good.

Quality growers pay attention to the small details. Details make the difference to good plant or great plants.

The oils are supposed to irritate the plant slightly so it frosts up as self defence. I'm only doing it to one plant but others have had great success doing this on their entire grow.

I generally do pH with feeds but forgot with the plain water.

Feeding has been

Week 0 to 5 - Nothing. I figured the soil would be ok
Week 5 to 6 - Old Timer Grow (organic) at half strength
Week 6 to 8 - Bud Ignitor
Week 8 onwards - Old Timer Bloom at half strength. Fed with every watering

I usually add CalMag most waterings too.

Nutes are only added to 1l of water per plant so if I give them extra water it has zero nutes in. Seems like I'm starving them a little.
 
79 Days Old, 36 Days Flip, 22 Days from First Flower - Magnesium Deficiency

Not sure if you can tell from the pictures but the leaves are tacoing and have a very jagged edge to them. One plant seems worse than the others.

I've added 1/4 tsp of Epsom Salts per litre of water and have given them 2l of water between them. The girls are very thirsty and the soil was dry again despite a good soak yesterday.

I remembered to pH the water ;-) They got exactly 6.5 pH

I'll increase the CalMag from here on. Up to now they've had 0.5ml per litre with every feed. Does this seem reasonable?

With the heater switched off it's 82 during lights on. I fiddle with the heater as I feel 85 is the sweet spot.

And thanks :-) I think there's the start of a magnesium deficiency going on and corrective action has started.
 
I'm harvesting this week and thinking about starting some clones on 12/12 next week. Going to experiment with not keeping them so green after week 4.
Investigation is always fun :bongrip:

That shows up much better. Which strain is it, and are they different strains and just the one is doing it?

It's affecting both strains (Blueberry and Painkiller XL).

XL#1 is the least affected
BB#1 is showing signs
XL#3 is very obviously affected

They all get the same feed and water, but I must admit XL#3 gets a bit less water than the others as it's in a plastic pot (the others are in fabric). The plastic pot takes longer to dry out.

The picture is XL#3
