week 5 flowering, almost week 6. So I need to get this in check now.

It sucks DICK to have to stand at the sink, fixing the ph for EVERY gallon of water I pour in.. jesus christ it was HELL!!

I will always check my PH from now on, infact Im thinking of buying this 30$ digital ph tester, cuz using the DYE in the vial SUCKS!


I came to the conclusion that I have a PH possible nute-lockout problem going on. Ive been using tapwater and not checking my ph the entire grow pretty much... so today I flushed each 4 gallon pot with 12 gallons of PHed 6 - 6.5 its hard to tell with the dye.. i mean it looked like each gallon was 6 - 6.5 so its atleast close. Im sure they might get a shock from me correcting the PH of my water....

I hope to god it fixes my problem. All my leafs look like they have rust on them, some yellowing/browning..on fan leaves.

So next watering im going to start my nutes at 1/2 strength.

will the leaves start to look better or will those spots/rustyness stay there?

One teaspoon epsom salts per gallon of water for the next two or three waterings should help.Sounds like mg def. Good luck.

Just epson salts and water until it corrects itself...also, in flowering, you can expect some yellowing of leaves and dieoff.Think of it as autumn for your plant.:bigjoint:

well ya, but they are like browning and dying off. Ive been feeding plain tap water so im sure I have a PH problem. Hopfully this flush corrects this problem.

Works a bit better if you just use a 5 gallon bucket, PH that, and fill from it, though ya really shouldn't have to since most tap comes out a clean 7.0ph, which is fine adding to soil. And the dye in the vial never needs calibrating :)

Personally, in those pics, shit looks fine to me. But you mentioned dryness at the tops of the buds, so maybe just make sure your light isn't too close,and try putting a fan right on her, because believe it or not, it seems to make them produce more sticky goodness. I really can't say from those pics that its anything but normal flowering nute deficiency. Just try the epsom salts, then resume your flowering nutes until you decide to do the pre harvest flush.

Here's the exact ph meter I have, and it works fine for me.http://cgi.ebay.com/Milwaukee-pH600-Digital-pH-Meter-Tester-Pocket-Pen-New_W0QQitemZ270306119464QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3eef800f28

thats what alot of ppl do...they kill they're plants to look done... i flush for 7 days... lets say i have a 9 week plant. i dont start flushin until week 9 or the plant looks done. around week 6.5-8 i reduce nutes(not taking them out completely, maybe reduce by half and more and more from there) and introduce mollasses. molasses contain enough nutes to help the plant finish without depriving it for the final few weeks of maturing. When week 8 comes I start the straight water flush for a week to 10 days.

If it doesn't seem as dry without the fan,then leave it out.

The thing is they havent started swelling up yet... like Im thinking about buying OVERDRIVE but i dont wana waste my money.. I hope they swell up ..... because to me they just look kind of medium sized as far as the buds go they dont look full and filled in yet. I know this is suppose to be a 9 week plant.. so I do have 4 weeks left hopfully it fills out in taht time. And it dont fucking die lol..

what shud I start my nutes at in a few days once i feed again? 1/2 strength of the foxfarm schedule?


ps: when you say flush for 7 days does that mean once a day for 7 days you flush 3x the pot size????

you also have to remember that during flowering the fan leaves WILL turn yellow as not as much energy is being put in to them as to the flowers....It's normal for the most part and your pants look good from the pics. The leaves look the way they should, i believe....except maybe for the brown spots. Those are a bit unnerving. Possible nute deficiency there...

different growers do different things... I flush 3x pot size day one...then i just water when it needs it.. so for rest of the flush i just give water... maybe a little bit more than usual but nothing but water...

What sort of tempertatures are you dealing with? From the looks of your pictures, it looks like heat stress to me. Ph stress usually shows itself with twisted leaves.
