No not the now moose to much flushin going on buddie your pH is high going in because of the silicon do you have ph down ( vinigar or lemon juice would do ) add this next time a few drops at a time and check the pH and feed them at pH 6.5 going in and see how you go mate :smokebuds:

 

[anonamoose]

i thought 6.8 was the perfect ph? ive been using ph up to get it to 6.8 lol. if i put in 6.5 wont it lower the ph even more? i got ph up and ph down

Ah Moose come on brother , you'll need to start reading , lmao , these are basics soil pH in 6.5 also :tip:if you ever find your pH is a little low you can use a little of the silicon to up your pH until the end of wk2 in flower after that use your pH up

 

[anonamoose]

lol dunno why i thought 6.8 been lookin at the nutrient uptake graph thing n dtill thought it was 6.8 when it clearly says 6.5 lol. more yellow leaves ill water next at 6.5 lol thanks

 

[anonamoose]

watered at 6.5 n tied another bit of the plant down. more yellow leaves n red stalk though lol. me bird found seed in some shit weed got off dealer so put it in a glass of water in the airin cupboard to germinate lol. ill plant when it sinks n then if it sprouts ill add it to this diary

Yeti1 welcome to the forum mate if your bottom fans are fadeing up your grow nutes a little mate as they might be hungry bro

I don't see how as I keep them well fed. Maybe something with a higher nitrogen content? I'm using General Organics bio thrive which is 4-3-3

back from the trip, and all is looking good. was worried the whole time that itll be touchin the light lol. mum watered 1400ml of water last night. just got back and had a look and both bagseed have sprouted budsites are much biugger but still no noticable bud yet. day 15 of flowering, ill give it the last dose of silicon tomorrow. i will post some pics tomorrow im knackered n cba at the mo. stalks still red n some more yellowing.

also i was fuckin bout with ph'ing the water before i left. i ph'd it soon as i poured it out the bottle, had ph of 6.4 then i waited like 10 mins n it was 6.7, then about 20 mins after that it was 6.5?! wtf is going on lol when do i measure the ph? also when i stirred it it drifted up n down between 6.4 and 6.8! no wonder im having ph problems lol. how long do i leave it for the correct ph? how long do i leave the runoff till i measure? i have been measuring straight away before. thanks

Moose whats your tap water like mate after lying out for an hour

 

[anonamoose]

no idea, havnt even tried i just assumed bottled water would be cleaner, im at me birds atm but going home in an hour or so so ill put some tap water out n measure it after an hour. i need to feed today though so ill leave the bottled water out for a couple hours n then measure the ph? what about nutes, shall i add them before i leave it an hour or so or just before i actually feed? thanks
