New Grower First Grow!! - Afghan Kush Ryder

Thanks man! I was using the hanna 98107 which was good but went for a swim and started acting up beyond repair and ended up upgrading to the hanna 98128 which is much better !! hopefully comes in tomorrow but sure her problem is ph related!! JM and muddy have some great informative stickies on ph which taught me a lot and goauto6 also has been giving me some good tips on how to correct the ph issue which is probably causing issues with the brown spots which can also be from high heat.. Figured I need to get my ph on check before anything. Most likely the deficiency I am having is from the ph locking out what she needs. Once I get the ph on check it should give me more of idea on what she wants! Being she is on day 17 i find it weird because brown spots if im not mistaking is usually cal deficiency which usually dont affect plants till 3-4 weeks in flowering stages. So ph will be me first step. Thanks for all for the informative info and good karma!! BTW- Herbal your grow is looking good man! Keep it up!! good green karma sent your way!!!

i need to get a digital tester -- currently using a vial kit.

hope your hanna comes through tomorrow bro -- ph lockout is a no no.

i actually ran into the ph lockout as well. -- quick flush the next watering seemd to have fixed my issues.

AFN is a great community specially how everyone is helping each other like family -- we will definitely get this problem resolved!

thanks for the good karma bro -- i need every good karma i can get.

good karma right back at you -- once the ph is all taken care of your plants will bounce back!

just keep at it and dont lose faith.

Cal/Mag

P deficiency during veg.


As you can see by the pics, it's not cal/mag but a P deficiency caused by the low pH. P is locked out at pH below 5.5. I think some hydrated lime is your best option. 1 tablespoon per gallon of feed, one time only as too much can cause root damage.

Day 18

ok no luck in getting hydrated lime being out of season around me. But flushed her today 3x the size of my pot and got my runoff to raise my final run off up to 6.2. Also gave it its first first feed. Went light as muddy recommended, will keep my waterings and feeds at a higher ph to keep raising soil ph and hopefully she gets to 6.5 where I want her to be. So lets see how she will pull up. I'm feeling sure the will pull up fine. Pics tomorrow when I get a chance.

Ps - My new Hanna Hi98127 is awesome. Love that meter. Definitely understand when everyone told me to spend the extra money to get a better meter. Glad I upgraded!

I paid 73$ without buffer or storage solution!! Only thing I can tell you don't go cheap!! After replacing my old one this one feels 100x better in terms of quality! I guess the waterproof casing gives it that solid feel. Also being it comes with the tool to easily replace the sensor is a plus. Also to calibrate its a breeze no need to adjust manually. It does it automatically asking for buffer.

Btw- she is looking great today!!! Even though she was probably stressed a little after a 6 gallon flush. Will post pics tomorrow.
