Thanks all for taking a look at the photos. I just hate that crazy initial PH bounce with first watering. They don't seem to have been terribly troubled by it. New growth is all coming out a rich green and old growth is not getting any worse. Like I have stated I will recap that issue later.
The RRF is still growing and ought to be flowering soon.

Neat avatar INH - time to have some fun and change out from time to time.

goauto6 - wonderful display of my photos. Thanks a great deal.

I have a half dozen or more stray seeds. Nothing sexy. Seeds I ordered this time last year or early in the year. And bags of assorted soils.

Decided tonight: I shall not give up on soil with the little PH hiccup. Its gardening 101.

I like the comment made by seymour-buds--here--https://www.autoflower.org/f5/think-different-grow-11204-9.html

OK--------------------Going to germ in a couple of weeks. Want to try a new seedling soil. Suggestions! This time---I will be transplanting.

growing is a massive learning curve mate and it dont matter how much you read you only ever learn from actually getting involved and you picked a good strain to learn with, im sure she taught you quite a bit along the way and she can take some abuse which is quite good for begginers and you still produce an end result

well done, enjoy your harvest :thumbs:

fact! Even the BEST growers are still learning every day... thats how they stay the BEST growers... Theoretically, the learning curve never stops curving.. :no:

jm is so right!:thumbs:never stop learning! and never stop dreaming!:buds:" lose your dreams and lose your mind!"

All right. Patiently waiting for next watering/PH check. Watching flowers grow. CM now looks better than Super in regard to old growth. RRF still growing awaiting hormones to kick in.

Photo update at end of week = 6 weeks.

Checked pots and it was time.

Adjusted PH on RRF and Super: Last adjustments for all three.

RRF - now - 6.53 (was 6.60)
Supersonic - now - 6.59 (was 6.80)
And last check CM was and is - 6.55 Update - fell to 6.42

I wanted to make adjustments without a major flush because the numbers were not severe, however, the plants are really sensitive. My technique over the last two adjustments has been as follows--with pots not bone dry:

Part 1
1. Run two quarts of distilled water slowly thru pot.
2. Dump any run-off.
3. Wait for all run-off to stop.
4. Run another quart through.
5. Dump run-off.
6. Collect next run-off and get a PH reading.

Part 2

1. Fill gallon jug with R/O water.
2. Adjust PH based on Part 1 run-off PH.
3. Follow same steps as above.

Part 3.

1. Prepare gallon of R/O water and very modest amount of feed and Great White (I know adjusting ph might neutralize the critters before they hit the soil--but--it's expensive and need to use ).
2. Adjust PH based on Part 2 run-off (usually small adjustment).
3. Run about 1/2 gallon thru.

My soil drains quickly. Consequently, the plants are not being subject to over watering/drowning. In heavier soil the above would not work and a flush would be better.

Now, I might be way off on this method. Seems to be working. Comments are welcome.
