New Grower White Widow Auto Grow Journal

It's where I always start myself.........:Sharing One:
Rough Calculation Guide:

Here's some good info on ph.....
If your runoff pH is higher than your starting pH, use this equation to determine your soil pH:*
Soil pH = Runoff pH + Difference

If your runoff pH is lower than your starting pH, us this equation:
Soil pH = Runoff pH - Difference.

For example, say your the starting pH of your solution before it goes in is 6.5 and the pH of your runoff is 7.0. The difference is +0.5, so using the above equation:
Soil pH = 7.0 + 0.5*
Soil pH = 7.5

If your starting pH is 6.5 and your runoff is 6.0, your difference is -0.5 and using the above equation:
Soil pH = 6.0 - 0.5
Soil pH = 5.5

Thanks again man. I must admit I haven't paid much attention to my PH lately, or the plant's to be fair (personal reasons), but I thought I had it dialed in. I do think my soil PH has dropped a bit, which is locking out some P,Ca,Mg. They are def showing faster, heavier growth under this LED, I thought I had some bleaching due to the distance of light, but no , I think I have a PH issue (again!).

Dazed..

Hey guys, anyone know what's up with the Auto Assassin? I thought she has signs of of Mg def, so I added a little Epsom Salt to her feed and sprayed a little on the plant.

She's going very pale? Really red stems,when I look at EVERY bit of info online it could be all the deficiencies! My PH is good, run-off is around 6.4.
I didn't notice how bad it was under the LED. It's affecting the top of the plant, lower leaves are green, but some very low fan leaves died off-I just thought that was the plant's natural shedding of old leaves.

Can anyone help?

Jeez it's happening......again.....


I've been following the BioBizz nutrient schedule, but she is at 9 weeks now, and only just starting to properly flower. Should I feed her some more Bio-grow, get some N in her?

9 weeks dude? That's no auto looking at it man.

Someone will nip in if I'm wrong but that should be loaded with budage at 9weeks.

I know she just wont flower. Both her and White Widow look sick. Think my PH is too low, getting some def going on. It's gettting worse by the day. I've got too much going on in my personal life to care to be honest. Going to stop the grow I think.

 

[dazedandconfuzed]

Yep PH is too low, should I get some dolemite lime and sprinkle the soil? I have some PH UP solution I can use but then it's not organic. I'm going to flush them both later with PH'd water. Then start feed again with correct PH.

Any advice would be great, thanks guys.

Up to you bro.

Done the hard bit.

Just switch them all to 12/12 rather than pack it in. Don't know what you have going on at the mo, but I guarantee in another month or so you will wish you just kept it going.

Come on buddy its just a plant, you can nail this and when you do you will be a grand master grower......lol

Well maybe not, but you will have a big/small pile of home grown satisfaction.

Get 10 cutting of the WhiteWidow and stick them in a glass of water if you have no money for pellets/prop.
Stick the rest on 12/12



What is your pH mate anywhere around 6.2 up really in soil

You really think it's a photo? The seed came from an SS Auto Assassin pack. It still isn't flowering so you're probably right.
Hey sorry for being negative man, been a hell' of a week. I'm not going to cut them, I think my PH is too low. I'm flushing tonight with PH 6.8 water. Think the nutes bring my water down a little too low, looking like its around 6.2 and I think it's causing issues, shouldn't it be around 6.5-6.8?

I will switch to 12/12 as I have a Pepperjack photo. I want to make it so my lights are on at night rather than the day when I switch-it's getting warmer in the day here now, almost summer.

I'm going to take it by the day, see what happens, I'm in no rush, I have enough left from my last harvest (the 1st successful harvest lol) to last me a while yet. I think the AA is not flowering because she is stressed, there are pistols there, but she just keeps producing more and more branches and leaves. She is in a 4 liter pot, She is 2' exactly. I broke the main stem when trying to bend it down, and as a result she has 4 main colas.

Thanks for the help dude.

Switch to 12/12 you will see a difference in days if they are photos.

Hi everyone, well yep, was a PH problem as I thought. I went and bought a PH pen and EC stick today. My run off PH is 6.1 on both plants, that's after flushing with PH 6.5 water. My water after adding nutes is 6.3. So I need to bring that up ASAP. I bought some garden lime, and sprinkled some on top of the soil, and gave a light water. Not sure how much to use so starting small and will increase if I see no difference in the next week or so.

I honestly thought I had my PH in check, but explains why everything is going wrong again. Hopefully I've caught it in time but the AA just isn't flowering and I guess its because of the PH issue.

Nice to see you got to harvest! Congratz! Keep the good work up & keep blazin Peace

 

[dazedandconfuzed]

Hey thanks Shax, well a bit of good news finally, I just checked my run off on both plants and they are at 6.5, looking better. Hopefully it will creep up a little more the next few days. I added 5ml of lime on top of the soil in each pot and watered with ph 7 water. This seems to have brought everything back in line.

This Auto Assassin is freaking me out, she is 10 weeks and no flowers, do auto seeds sometimes turn out photosensitive?
I don't want to switch to 12/12 because the White Widow is still filling out her tops, and has at least another week, most likely two before I wanted to switch, but the AA is getting BIG lol.


Here's some pics guys..





Peace guys.
