Well my question is more about my soil but,
What is your experience level? Beginner
Your Equipment:
.1) Type and wattage of lights. Hydrofarm FLCDG125D,125-Watt Compact Fluorescent Grow Light, and 4 compact fluorescent bulbs, 2 on each side
.2) Distance from tops? moved up to approx 6 in and about 6in on the sides
.3) Reflector type? Grow Light System with Dew Guard
.4) Is there a consistent fresh air supply? YES
.5) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan? YES
.6) What are the bulb wattages, kelvin ratings, and schedule? 20/4 (see above)
Your medium:
.7) Specific brand and type of soil, Fox Farms Ocean Forest and anything you've added to it. (perlite, 2tsp granulated lime)
.8) Size of container. approx 1.5 gal ?
Your nutrients and water:
.9) Source of water. (bottled that says it is RO) What's it's ph? 7.8
10) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen, CyberTech PHTester PH-107 Digital pH Meter
11) Method of adjusting water ph. ( PH Up, pH Down...)
12) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. ????????
tiger Bloom, Big Bloom, grow Big, epsom Salt, Molasses, So far I have only fed once I would have to look at thread to see how much exactly but very little like quarter strength, I did add some salt and molasses though just to make sure everything was ready for to start jumping. This is when I want to start feeding more but until I resolve pH problem, I figure why ?
13) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? about a half gallon of water per watering.
14) Any additives or tea's? molasses, Epsome Salt
15) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate? LOL Stable, Low but STABLE
16) What is your ingoing water's ph? in 6.7 out 6.1 your runoff ph? 5.5
17) Do you foliar feed? NO If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray?
Your growroom:
18) Indoors or outdoors? Indoors
19) What size of closet, room or hut? 32x32x62 tent
20) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? 77-79...With lights off? 75 is lowest meter has read
21) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom? NO
Your strain:
22) What strain are you growing? (Indica dominate or Sativa dom?) ??WEED??
23) Is this an photoperiod strain? NO
24) How old is the plant? 20ish
25) In what life-cycle is it? Vegetative I think, but maybe pre-flowering,
26) From seeds or clones? Seeds Norther Lights from Nirvana, FEM, Auto
My question is: from my first grow I knew soil had low pH, so I added approx 2 tsp granulated lime, watered and waited 9 days pH went from 4's to low 6 so I figured it was good to go, thinking pH would keep going up some more. But that is not happening, it seems to have settled in at 5.5, last 2 waterings soil pH was 5.5 now it looks like I have some lock out. what is best way to raise my soil pH. maybe dissolve some lime in water and pour it in ? Any Suggestions or I might have to make this post about my little Wilamina.
