It usually is.
Cool, next feed is scheduled for Friday so I'll make sure the ph is down around 6.3 and see what happens next weekIt usually is.
Some soils are lacking in enough minerals by flower it can make a difference.
If your doing everything else correctly then setting the ph would be the next logical step.

Try not to schedule when you are going to feed them.
They seem to be thirsty/dry every 3 days or so, I also like to feed on the first day of the new week which tends to line up. If they aren't dry enough by Friday I push the feeding, or if they are too dry to wait I'll move it up. I find it easier to try and stay close to a schedule while letting them tell me what they need, seems to be a bit of a give and take thoughTry not to schedule when you are going to feed them.
Let them tell you when they are ready for another drink.
It may not always be the exact same amount of time in between

I gave the three plants about two and a half gallons of non ph'd water right away just to get them started again last night. Today I gave each plant another gallon of ph'd water to see if we can save the crop. Two of the plants look like they might come back, one looks pretty cooked but I'm crossing my fingers.
Oh dam I'm so sorryWell, a somewhat sad update. I was on vacation last week and had placed the plants onto AC infinity self watering bases to try and keep them alive. They trays did not work as advertised and it looks like the plants sucked all the water up in the first few days, because when I got home things were looking crispy.
When I left they looked like this:
When I came back they looked like this:
I'm relatively hopeful because not all of the leaves were crispy yet, they have shriveled but not every plant had crispy leaves. I'm hoping that this will just set me back a week or so, and not be the end of this grow, but we'll just have to wait and find out.
It's my fault for believing marketing, I figured they'd be good on those bases for a week and I'd come back to slightly dried out plants, but nothing like this. Next time I'll get a friend to come over and water them, its just hard to trust that people will do it rightOh dam I'm so sorry

I understand.
Thanks, I'm ok. A bit sad as this grow was going really well, but its ok. We live and we learn right? Now I know that the self watering bases are a gimmick and that I need to find a friend that can handle the task if I have to go away again.I understand.
It's hard to find someone you trust the knows what to do.
Hope your ok my friend.

Nice save my friend.Thanks, I'm ok. A bit sad as this grow was going really well, but its ok. We live and we learn right? Now I know that the self watering bases are a gimmick and that I need to find a friend that can handle the task if I have to go away again.
After two gallons of water through each plant I've made the decision to scrap one, it just was too far gone. The other two after cleaning all the dead and curling leaves off of them look like they might pull through so I will be continuing the grow with those two. I pulled the trellis out to make it easier for me to clean up and maintain the remaining two plants. I hope they just get delayed a week from this. I haven't fed them in about two weeks now but I worry that feeding them now will just be added stress, so I'm going to wait until they dry out a bit again to give them nutrients, they should be starting on week 6 of flower this friday so I think there is enough time to bring them back. Here is how the tent looks now.
I really do hope they come back because the kolas were really starting to stack up nicely.
Mine too, I had a feeling when I got home and went to check the tents, but opening it up to that sight was a real gut punch, I was banking on around a pound from this grow and theres no way I get that type of yield now, but at least I'll get something
