Flowers officially trimmed and reset with the AR, and it looks like I'll be spoiled for choice next round. 5 ar and 5 tangerine dream, might stick the extras outside

I'd say your right about the overwatering, I reckon that's part of why they tipped over on ya. Sometimes new growth can be pale one day and lush green the next. Another is if the ph is a bit high and ya get zinc lockout (I've had it happen, I don't think that's this though) How are ya managing/checkin pH?

Thanks for the reassurance lads, have a ph pen n tap water was 6.8 so I’m just using that but through the fridge filter... haven’t tested since as the calibration is off as was then showing 8.9 the next time I tried it. Will recalibrate n test tho just lazy/ busy I’m thinkin 6.5 ph be good? Soil some ppl say ph is not too crucial?

Yea I'd say 6.8 is sound. I wouldn't say it's not crucial, but it's easier managed. And Def less crucial than in coco or hydro, but if ya consistently give water at a higher pH the soil pH will rise over time (happened to me when I moved from the shed to the attic, tap water had been grand but in the open tank the ph is higher). That's prob not your issue tho with em being so young and only one plant showing paleness, sorry for the ramble lol

Checked ph and calibrated the pen n my water was comin out in high 7’s!!! Can ph increase if left in a jug in the grow tent? Could have sworn came in at high 6s originally.
Anyway gota experience ph down and half a drop in a litre does the job after multiple attempts
Thanks for info again lads. Dropped it to 6.4 there now

Need bit of advice on photoperiod zkittles, dropped it into shot glass of luke warm water for 24 hrs. Taproot showing so put it in soil small container, i'll be only vegging this and giving it to another person who has lots of led lights he will bring it to flower. What i want to know is how long to veg for and when to flip to 12/12 cheers. I intend to clone it and keep the clone. I have root gel what else would i need

I got that Korona app where has ppfd readings and for 5€ u can but a specific light so got the full spectrum led so I have my light at 20inches at 40% and that is giving a ppfd of 360. 200-400 for seedlings I believe.
Handy tool and says it’s as accurate as a lab instrument, il let you know if plants burn up n die tho

Good shout, dya know the max reading? I tried an app off Googleplay before but it couldn't read higher than 600, that's to do with phone sensors tho

Honestly lads if ya can set up a scrog net I'd highly recommend it. I've been switching between scrog and trellis', and for me scrog wins hands down. Both for weight and for visual appeal, plus they sexy as fuck before harvest lol
