New Grower 1st try BubbleGum - 00 Seeds

[Ardes]

Hey Ardes, just going through your grow. Sorry it took so long to get in here. So is your soil ph still jacked up or what? Have you checked the runoff recently? If so what was it? Also, what soil are you using, sorry, you may have already mentioned that but I didn't want to dig back through your posts. Let's see if we can't get her straightened out today, shall we? I will be awaiting your reply.

Hey A4, i'm glad that you did get here though, welcome !:smokebuds:
The last time i checked the runoff, it was f**ked up, 7.7 (before it was 7.8. I flushed her with 60l of 6.5 ph water and at the end, it dropped with just 0.1. :Stones slap:I was 100% sure that i'll lose her ... but she seems strong and she doesn't give up that easily. Just like me, my baby girl ! :KISS

Recently i didn't check the runoff, because i was sure things didn't change. I watered her today but just with a little bit of water (1 liter), so it didn't come out so i can measure the runoff. But i will run and re-water her to see it if it's needed.


She is in a 20L pot, with:
- 35% Flormio soil - Universal (shagnum peat, black peat, worm humus,argil,river sand) ph : 6,5 - 6,7
- 35% coco peat
- 30% perlite

It would be very nice to fix her today, and not just today, i really just want her to be healty. I'm treating with an "eau-de-vie" just like in Romania ! :High 5:

@namvet25, i wanted to rise her dose of bio-grow a little, but i was afraid that it will cause the light green leaf color... ( I read on forums cases where big doses of bio-grow cause the light green/yellow color... )
Thanks anyway.:hug:

Well, for one, you should be able to get that soil ph down. That shouldn't be a problem, that is going to help you out more than anything else so let's focus on that for a moment. Whatever size of container you are using, multiply that x 2-3 and make that much plain ph'd water to 6.4. So if your container is 3 liter, make 9 liters of water. Slowly pour every bit of that water through there, letting it all rinse out the bottom. As you are coming to the end of your flushing, catch some and check the ph. That should have lowered it. Next, wake a normal amount of water and add your nutes to it at about 1/2 strength. Feed her with that after the flush. After that, if yu have it, you can foliar feed with a week Cal/Mag solution. That is going to give your lady some nutes while the soil is getting dialed back in and will stop the deficiencies very quickly. You may want to foliar feed a couple of times a day for the first few days. If you see the tips of her leaves starting to drop down at a 90* angle, wait before foliar feeding any more. They will take up a lot of nutes foliar feeding and will create N toxicity quickly if you aren't careful. From there, you should be good. Shoot me a pm if you run in to troubles or have questions and I will come back on this thread and answer. Best of luck!

Pff bro, thanks for helping,...but that's exactly the way i tried to lower the soil-ph.

I checked the runoff ph a few min ago.I think the soil ph is 9.1 :no:

The in-water ph was : 6.5 and the runoff water was 8. I'm 100% sure i can't do anything to decrease the soil-ph..

2 weeks ago when i started flushing the runoff was : 7.8 , now after 3x pot size flush with 6.5 ph the runoff is higher ?!

anyway, here is 2 pictures with her at day 53 (week 7,5 26 cm height :



I succeded to keep her stable with foliar nuts(epsom salt and calcium carbonate) ..
For the moment i only use 300w hps, but hopely tomorrow i'll finish the cooltube for the 250w HPS ...

How do i know that my plant is getting close to the end of her life, so that i can start flushing her ?

I'm in week 8 from seed, the seedbank says that she is ready in 60 days [8.5 weeks] but the most of my trichomes are clear ...
Should i wait until all of them are milky ?
