forgot to add the dolomite will fix most of your PH issues by making it neutral or in the optimum growing range

I flushed with PH7 water, run off ended at PH5.8-6. :(

Garden chalk or dolomite-chalk, those must be dolomite lime right?
Swedish sucks...

Thanks for bringing me hope!

Dolomite and superthrive, shame it's souch a huzzle to find good growing stuff here in Swe. If you ask one complicated question the helper in the plant shop gets a wierd look and you never wanna come back again because you know how missinformed every fucker, including the police, is...

i dont know how to figure it but if its 7 going in and 6 coming out i think its safe to say that you are way low
the lime will keep you from having to fight the ph up or down

yes i forgot about ebay the lime you dont need much of it a few table spoons a pot it may be marked up but you might be able to get enough to get your next grow set up you can top dress it and water it in but honestly if you get your soil made up right by the time the lime gives out the plants will be done

Just a thought. I keep a good number of plants in veg on "life support" in solo/beer cups, after a while they cannot absorb enough nutes from the small root mass. What I do is foliar feed them and they green right back up. Might be a good idea to foliar feed while just watering with PH adjusted water for a while (making sure to let the soil dry out enough). Use a standard grow nute at like 1/4 strength, if you have some liquid kelp available you can put some of that in the mix as well. Hit them twice a day. This will deliver the nutes it needs directly to the tissue while you figure out what the real problem is with the roots.

Since the ph seemed to low i went up and watered with some ashes and water at PH9.5ish, still below ph6.5 on the run off...

I'll get some chalk. :D

I hope she will recover! Some leaves actually stand quite nice while many of the small green tops hang like theyre ready to rot. :(

Will she be helped with spraying her with water/lownute even though she quite surely are a bit overwatered after several hours of flushing and ph-adjusting.

How in the fuck can my older plant grow nice buds in this soil?!


What other plants i could grow needs the same light soil, ph, high N for vegg and high P/K for bloom? I need a cover if im about to go shopping tomorrow, i cant shut up so without cover, itll be obious lol.

It sure will! I fucking bet the breakdown was mostly due to the PH... I'm quite sure my soil ends up a bit below PH6 and looking at that chart, thats not very good.

Since i flushed them all with Neutral water, maybe the PH still is a bit low? Should i do a last addition of some ashes and water at ph 8ish?

You have a multitude of problems, seeing as your PH seems to be questionable. Too many actually to list. PM me if you need another opinon

Ofcourse! Thanks :)

I did find the main issue i bet so barely any sleep for me this night...

I have a uprising population of spider mites! =(
Theyre few but still enough to make me think i had CA deficiency. Could it be these nymphs or none-adults that does the dmg? Hungry little fuckers eh...

Of to a grow shop to get some new soil, nutes and hopefully pest control.
Are there good organic choices or is it worth to actually use some strong stuff?

I agree, she does. :(

But thats what some people said about her and her sister 3 months ago and now the sister is all i have to smoke. ;)

The thing is that i plan to take the grow outdoors quite soon, up untill then shes most of what i have to grow other then a army och auto seedlings and a decent sized cutling that intend to bloom when i take the autos outdoors.

I see my failings as practice, i wont stop fighting for my biggest bush so far!

To kill mites the key is rotation. Dont buy one product and expect to kill them. I use azamax, spinosad, habanero water, and neem drenches in rotation when I get them. For the habanero water go buy about 15 peppers chop them into 4ths or smaller and drop them in about 1-1.5 quarts water and simmer for 20-30 minutes (dont boil). I add 1/2 this solution to about 1 gallon water in a sprayer with several drops of soap. Careful with it!

If you are comfortable using chemicals (only in veg or right before flower) then you could get a 1oz bottle of Floramite off ebay. You won't see a mite for at least a month... only takes about 3 or 4 ml / gallon. Also, I dont use it again for at least 2 months after so they dont build any tolerance.
