Skywalker Kush Problems

[Clix]

Your Ph levels are totaly Fucked up. Ph for Coco should be 5,5-5,8 in Veg and 6,2 in flower. So there you got your problem.If you putin 5,8 and 7,1 is coming out thats a Huge Diffrence. Give them a Propper flush till the ph is regulated to 6,2 at the runoff. I guess you aint watered with a 20%drain out of the pot every time???

Im using PH perfect nutes. Even though they say PH Perfect ph has little to do with it. They chelate everything in the nutes so much thats if the ph is any where from 4 ish to 8 they will work and allow your plant to take up all needed nutrients I have used these nutes for three years (only growing off and on) and the main problem I run into is finding the right levels and trying to identify what I m lacking so I can up the nutes to the right level with out over doing another nute (Usually Nitrogen or Potassium) I have never had the "right" ph in any grow medium I have used but the nutes stay true to what they say. Many other people grow with them and have the same sorta results regardless of there ph. The only reason I have ever had to worry was when lime threw my ph past 8 and it totally screwed everything with the nutes. I have actually been watering with closer to 50% drain but cal mag + has lime in it and once i was informed it had already jacked my ph and regardless of flushing just likes to chill at 7.1 it was at 7.4 so I cant bitch to much it did move 0.3 lol Only reason I have been trying to keep the ph in range was so I could use Non Advanced Nutrients products if I needed to as allot of the time the AN products have an unwanted nutrient added with the nutrient I am trying to fix the deff in.

Regardless what youre doing thoose Ph perfet nutes dont mean your ph will get perfet. They are for certain ph they got tested with. Experimenting with nutes now isnt the way to go until you have the ph down on 6.2. Btw theese An Ph Perfect stuff is for Soil not really recommended for Coco. I dont know why peoply always try to fix Problems with Nutrients in 85% of all cases its just a wrong ph. Im runing Coco since over a Decade now and once i had dialed it in after 2 tiral and error runs at the start barely had props again. except when i changed the Coco Brand which i would never do anymore. Cocostar with Mycos forget everything else.

Oh they released a coco specific nute I am using. And OI I here your pain on changing coco. I had the perfect coco at one point. I Never had issues the only thing I had problems with was yield but it was 100% my experience level effecting that. Then one day no one sold my coco anymore and I have been forced to buy canna coco. I have had issues ever since with getting it dialed it like its different every time even if I grow the same strain I will try to get my ph down I am not sure what it will take though I ve flushed twice and have slow flushed using a low level nute solution and watering 50% run off for 2 weeks. The best it got me is a drop of 0.3. I will contemplate this though and see what I come up with.

Simply Citrus Acid een a fresh squeezed citrus will do the Thing. Best Household stuff for Ph Down Citrus Acid best Ph up Baking Soda I cant even remember when i bought some Ph +or - in a Growshop.

Oy! thanks Medic', I just plain spaced getting to the pH issue!,...jumping from thread to thread to much- ...Clix, I gather, you're doing run-off testing? ...wishing you had an Accurate * soil pH probe, for direct measurement,... I dislike the run-off method, as it seems to have lot's of potential sources of measurement error in it,...Also, how's the calibration on your meter?.... that said, have a look at this link to a good, methodology, and see if it jives with what you do- https://www.autoflower.org/index.ph...-for-run-off-testing-and-ph-estimation.41733/
...Mind what brother Medic says about getting that pH down! -- I am not very coco savvy myself, being an OD soil guy, but I can say that P does get a little twitchy at mildly alkaline pH....Medic' I'm wondering, why the coco is holding resistance so strongly against adjusting down,... Clix, are you using RO/DI water, or a blend with tap? ..trying to get a handle on the carbonate inputs, as this part of the minerals is responsible for the buffering action,...

Like Lemon juice or orange juice? I have ph down I just haven't needed to use it cause the ph of my water is usually in a good range. Should i be shooting for 5.5 in the water till the ph drops?

I saw you going form thread to thread you were a busy person last night I am using the method outlined to read ph in the coco section I never test run off as its very in accurate. I can actually hardly wait to get a soil probe and a ppm/ tds meter I m over the guess work and the method to check coco ph properly with out a probe is cruel you rip out roots and coco messy and damaging to the plant i can only assume. For the last 2-3 weeks I have only been using DI water with no added calmag (witch is why I have a Ca problem lol) Trying to adjust it down by watering at 40 to 50% run off every watering and it being ph'd to 5.8. Prior to that I flushed (on two different occasions) with a light solution with the same description no cal mag and DI ph 5.8. But prior to all of this I was watering with tap water very hard water PLUS using cal mag plus at 1 to 2ml a L Witch hadn't been an issue in past grows (That I know of) but I didn't take into account that me and Cana coco like to argue allot. I was told by someone but can't remember who it was but they were from this site that Camg+ has lime in it and in some cases not all will bind with the coco raise the and be hell and high water to let it go. I also tried and experiment were I started my seed right in the final pot as I read a interesting thread here about plants not liking being transplanted when grown in coco. Sooo it worked great and my growth was crazy buuuuuuuut with all the coco not being used for root space until recently. I overfeed all the coco that wasn't being used for the plant. Figure this created a crazy ph buffer that is being a refusing to let go at this point. Still trying to get a game plan going that I dont shock the plant lol

Runoff testing isnt in Accurate its needed to see if the ph levels in the medium are ok. are they i veg or flower already? if in veg try to aim a 5,8 and give em so long till the runoff is 5,8 too. Testing the runoff is important i did miss it 2 times in the actual run and then thigs got off real quick so i had to adjust it again And you wont shock the plant some people think Canna is sensitive like ahuman baby... nah its really a freaking strog plant you can abuse her and she defenitly will come back no worries..

11th week of veg. I am trying not to flower until I get my problems solved but I am running out of room in my screen lol Skywalker kush is a major stretcher so Im going to need the extra room on my screen once i flip her to flower.

 

[medic grower]

Oh yes shes a major league stretcher 400-450% defo. I underrated the Lemon walker too her highest top is max 7 cm away from the Light now.And i putted her in flower when she was 40 cm
