Hello everyone 
Another noob enters the fold.
Am just an auld hippy and a Geordie exile living in a distant land, even further away than Manchester!!
Didn't think I was a noob until I discovered Autos, have dabbled in the past, without much success or knowledge to be honest, even so far as NFT, growing a tree, getting too excited and cutting her down far too soon...numpty!!
I must congratulate everyone here for putting together an amazing site, fantastic knowledge base and truly incredible support with a willing, helpful and friendly community!!
So here I am, first Auto grow, DP Automazar, first LED grow, GN ms0006 (which is a bit sexy!!), first airpot grow and the first time I've ever even thought about ph or environment.
Being a noob, I thought I'd done all my homework, built my cab, 60x90x150, an attic grow. Fitted a carbon filter and fan (which is too small), passive intake with a circulating fan and a temp and humidity meter. I'm in a 10l airpot with a soil called Celtic Gold with 25% perlite and a couple of tablespoons of dolomite lime. 18/6 light schedule and at 20 days the light is on full power at about 2' above the plant top.
Though my girl is growing quite well, I have a major ph issue, first watering was at 6.5 and the run off was 7.2, second watering went in at 6.2, the run off was 7.2, third watering went in at 5.8 and the run off was 7.1. I flushed last night with 30l of plain water ph'ed to 6.3, tested the last of the run off...7.2....Confuggled!!
The plant has fairly bad chlorosis on all leaves..very bad.. and narcosis on the lower leaves, new growth is green but becomes infected within a couple of days. I'm using Biobizz nutes, so far only root juice and I gave 2ml of grow on the last watering plus 1ml calmag, I've also foliar fed with epsom salts, 2tsp per litre. My tap water is around 8.0 and I'm using cider vinegar as ph down.
I presume (which can be dangerous) I have a nute lock out but until I can find a way to lower the ph I'm fighting a losing battle and as this was gonna be my Xmas toke, I'm scared...very scared.
I'm gonna post a couple of pics below. Any thoughts, input, advice would be greatly appreciated.
May all your buds be big, fat and sticky
