Grape I to had ph issues a few weeks ago. I bought a really good ph meter and keep my ph at a steady 6.4-6.5. Since this my plants have taken off big time. I also added shogun root enhancer, no looking back now. As Stick says get your ph right and you will be away. Stick you know all this about my grow apologies for covering old ground

Thanks! I think I might just do that. My butt is tightly clenched around the olde' savings right now but I think it'll be worth it to get a Bluelab ph pen

Don't give up mate, doesn't look too bad. Flush her with the correct pH'd water and she should be good.
And its just pure hobby mate, always been fascinated by cannabis. I enjoyed vaping a tiny bit on a weekend with a few drinks, but my vapourisers playing up so not had any for weeks, not too fussed! What about you?

Migraines. Bloody crippling migraines! It's better thesedays since the cannabutter but I still haven't found the best med... with that being said I've still got plenty to experiment with. Also I can't imagine my life without growing anything either

Grape have you ever had orange bud? It used to always be around when I was young, and the high was quality. Really clear high, a bit energetic but no anxiety or paranoia. I used to love it.

I've seen it in seed catalogs. But I couldn't find it anywhere to buy other than ordering it from the internets.

Dude, I had some suspicions but NOW I'm certain that you're my doppelganger. get this when I was in high school I once bought some weed that they called "orange". It was tightly packet bright green-yellow bud; clear fruity smell. I can't recall if it was crystalline or not. Looking back on it it was definitely a sativa bud. Long story short: smoking that in a joint was the best time of my life

Not much happening really. I'm hoping for a sprut next week. Otherwise just gaining a little weight very slowly

Also I'm down to my last few Purple Bud nugs. Gonna miss the salty-lemony smell!

Show me some pics of your, matty! Any changes since you switched to 12/12?

Grape not sure of the size but they are big. The one at the back is the biggest. Roots have started to show through the drainage holes at the bottom. Shogun root enhancer absolutely rocks. Serna not sure of the brand but it wasn't cheap. I paid £55.00 for it. I do have one I paid £9.00 For and it's nowhere near as accurate. You cannot grow without one. It changed my grow overnight.

The Purple Bud looks deathly sick. I REALLY hope she makes it til harvest. I've flushed with correct PH once more and I have a good mind to get a good ph meter so as to avoid any other errors. Also I've increased the canopy-light distance to avoid any further discoloration

I calibrated both of them mate but the dearer one seems more accurate. There is not much in it but I test 3 water jugs with 2 L's of water and the expensive one gives you a reading more quickly. I then take the ph meters out and test again and the cheaper one gives a slightly different reading. Again there is not much in it, but the expensive one give the exact same reading as the previous test. So it's more accurate. I did read that you should invest in a good PH reader. This is so true I've found. Since purchasing it and taking a reading before I add nutes and all other things I add to the water my PH is around 7.4. I then add nutes, root enhancer, bud candy etc I do another test and my PH is around 6.0. I like it to be at 6.4 or 6.5 no more no less. Since doing this my plants have gone from slow growing and light green in colour to absolutely flying in less than 3 days. It has been a huge game changer. They now grow an inch or two a nite. Sorry about the ramble

They don't look to bad mate. Don't flush again wait until they need watered again and then feed half nutes with a final PH of 6.4 - 6.5 if your in soil/ perlite. This fully worked for me. Also just a tip mate get some Shogun root enhancer for your next grow. You can buy online for about £16.00 it really makes your plants go wild with growth.

No worries. I love to ramble too and I love reading rambles. Alright I'm gonna stop being so tight and order one. I'm trying to find a good one that doesn't require much maintenance and comes with everything ready out of the box... also some of these hydro stores have a ridiculous mark up. I'm looking at this one right now:
Voltcraft PHT-02
