Hey man just popped in to check it for very nice bro and I'm sure u will win the slime battle
Not much to report really plants are really stretching right now almost am inch a day which we all love.
I do have something going on with my ph though. My ph was climbing everyday from. 5.8 to 6.4 by next am. Now it doesn't budge at all which is good but makes me curios as to why. I understand tat my plants needs are changing as they get ready to work hard on flower. Will this change affect the way my ph fluctuates ?
The only thing I did different was to wrap all my buckets with the shiny bubble wrap stuff( I think light was getting thru).
The only other thing is I dropped my ph meter in the res last week had to go blind for two days, when the new meter came I calibrated it and went to checking buckets they were all lower than I thought. I tested my ro water it tested lower than I remembered in fact everything test lower than I remember so either old meter was inaccurate or this one is for now I will place the blame on old meter unless my plants start going off then?

Glad things are going well for ya RP :smokebuds:could be a light leak was sending the PH up & its stable now its been blocked (would also be a cause of the slime)_
you will often get a dip in PH when the stretch is over & shes ready to go into full bud mode ...some people keep there plants on veg till this happens & use it as a sign to switch .That another possible reason for the PH being low ?.
I would get some calibration fluid for the meter bro ,Its only got to be a point out to for a while to cause problems & its nice to know that its spot on for peace of mind .

Dwc it's always nice to hear from you! You have probably hit the nail in the head I am just finishing up the stretch right now(inch a day this week) so that would explain the ph dropping.
The light probably helped as well I didn't think light was getting in I wrapped them more for temps (which will be an issue for me later geographical).
Your right things have got better for me, easier anyway. I no longer feel in over my head thanks to afn and I have spent hours and hours studying.
I will switch these girls to bloom nutes on Tuesday I had them on transitional mix this week I hope they pack me on a little bud over the next the upcoming weeks. I'll keep some pics coming so you can see, at least the pics might get better lol
Thx for stopping by
