Hydro you get way faster response compared to soil. Foliar adjust is fastest but I never had the heart to use foliar anything during flower. Cal-mag has to get a little higher ph to be absorbed like 6.0 and up, you should see results quickly. Track the trend in your water too, make sure it can be above 6 for a little while if it trends down.

Happy belated Halloween DaT this is a fun thread!
regarding the leaves ~ what have you recently changed?
I tried reading back a bit, but am wondering if maybe you went to LED or maybe just have it too high of an intensity perhaps for this strain or something. Just a thought when I see cal-mag deficiency. It could be hungry for it or something just wanted an excuse to say hi and its been cool seeing your artwork and budwork
Happy Halloween to you to Nizza! So nice to see you! I hope you have been well. Thank you for the compliment . I appreciate the positive feedback.
I am using this light

Happy belated Halloween. Sorry for walking on your grow journal last night! Keep up the good work!
Happy belated Halloween. I didn’t even know you walked on my grow journal last night did i miss something important?
thank you !

I keep all the R/O water in a large plastic garbage can. I am refilling it now as you can see . I will track the ph in it now. When I took a reading from it yesterday it was 7.0 ph and when I added the nutes it went down to 5.1. I have only used like half the the quart bottle and it has no expiration date ! It pisses me off that they don’t have an expiration date . I am going to get a new bottle of it . Hopefully the hydro store in town has one , if not I might just order it online . Do you have any suggestions for a reliable online store that sells quality fresh GH Flora Nova Bloom? I am never going back to that hydro store I went to in OKC yesterday again. What a bunch of goofy annoying assholes with no masks on. One guy kept trying to talk to me and it was so obvious I didn’t want to talk to him but he kept pestering me. I was pretty close to kicking him in the balls and telling him to leave me the fuck alone. I was only in the store for like 5 minutes and felt like I was harassed by every customer service person in there. There is something seriously wrong with Okies. I can’t wait to leave this fucked up state .

I haven’t run hydro in many, many years. I use a place called arbico-organics but that doesn’t help you as they don’t have hydro equipment. That sucks that there’s not a good shop, it’s always nice to have a local spot to go. My local guy lost my business too, I drive over to las cruces again. There’s a new shop over there that’s killer so it’s worth the drive.

Really stoned and apparently didn't post the creepy zombie baby, enjoy!

Your pH meter might need recalibrating. That is what happened to me.
No it does not need recalibration . That’s the first thing I did . I keep it stored in the solution as you recommended previously to me.

Las Cruces ! I can’t believed I actually lived there for a mere 4 months. I liked the landscape in the mountain up there . We had a lot of bad experiences otherwise . But I wish I had gone to the Zombie Walk! That was a pretty wierd place . They have some really cool mountain bike trails. My husbands allergies were so bad there he couldn’t breath and felt like he was suffocating every night. Our allergies are pretty bad here as well but his are better here then there.

In flower you may not see the change because its stopped growing and just producing buds but you should just not see any further damage
I dont know what to think of this plant. She is not eating as much as she should be at this point . Her branches are indicating to me that she is not going to really be a big producer. Its just a feeling i am getting right now and i am into 5 weeks. I am hoping for some massive change in growth but i really dont think it is going to happen. I think i popped a bad pheno.

I feel like she’s been locking out on you, at this point in her cycle you’re right about her production being lower just based on that but maybe she’ll turn around and start stacking hard now!

Yes I can feel the lockout and stunted growth pattern. She seems like a runt from the beginning and her branches have always been skinny and weak looking. I feel like it would be a freakin miracle for her to have any serious rebound at this point. I will keep up the maintenance give her the absolute best care I can no matter what. Even runts and dysfunctional plants deserve a fair shot and some love.

I think I cursed this grow with all the zombies. I grew a mutant plant just like they wanted . This plant is a freak , a mutant , a runt. I have never grown one like this before. It’s actually very intriguing in some regards and I am so curious to see how this plays out. I am wondering if this is an auto. I did not order auto seeds. She was freaky and funky since the very beginning so I don’t know what the hell to think.

These branches do not look like they will support large buds unless they start pumping up furiously . She just is not interested in gulping down the food like the usual monsters i grow . She is getting very gluey and sticky though. BAE91EFE-A54C-4548-96E1-05E3675360C4.jpegF4E7893D-C383-4D36-9972-2179253F9CC0.jpeg

certainly is a gnarly looking girl. Have the stems hardened up yet?
Yes
For sure it’s a mutant compared to chemdog (any of the 6 clones), at least the grease has come on! Give her a lil Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) to provide a bit of extra sulfur, helps terp development. Chems like it.
I bought the epsom salt but when I mixed a tbsp into a gallon the PPm reading was over 1300 so it’s not what I want to be messing with. The ph was good but not the PPm reading . I gave her like a quarter gallon for the fuck of it and let her eat on it a day then I drained her out because she was reading above 1300 PPMs.

good news now. I finally have some healthy bud growth showing excited bursting pistils .I have her stabilizing at 6.2 ph in and out. It took about 4 days to stabilize her .Also, her PPMs have dropped significantly and I only need to give her about 500 PPMs and adding 2 ml of ph up. I need to pick up some fresh Flora Nova Bloom soon but the added ph up is working nicely. I stopped the additional cal mag. This is where all my other girls like it so I am feeling a lot better about where things are at. There is a lot of leaf damage and I cut so many leaves off that I am going to just leave a lot of the damaged ones left for now until they get too brittle and worthless. I have heard over 50% damage on the leaf then cut it out because it’s worthless.

learned a lot from this situation.
