Alright, well, its been a tough grow. My last grow (AK48 in sig), came out fantastic, but I'm worried about this Swiss Cheese girl.
She veg'd out for a little over 4 weeks, and is currently almost 5 weeks into flowering.
She's burned and battered, and I need help. Shes having all different sorts of deficiencies, the main culprit? Nutrient lock-out..
My soil pH is low, very, very, very low. in the 4.5 to 5.5 range with no way to change it. Ive added crushed/pulverized lime to the soil as well as watered with it, tried foliar feeding to stop burn and calcium deficiency, and I dont want to add any more nutes in fear of making things worse. Ive tried flushing around 3 times with multiple gallons of water each time. I need to raise my pH and quickly, otherwise my heading is for stormy waters.
Also, she's developing slowly and buds are remaining small for this reason, I think. At least that's what it looks like.
HOW CAN I RAISE MY PH VERY QUICKLY, IN SOIL, WITH A MATURING PLANT ALREADY PLANTED IN IT?
I fear if this doesn't happen fast, she'll die before her time....
OTHER DETAILS:
FFOF soil
-Botannicare Pure Blend Pro Grow, Bloom, And Cal-Mag
-150w HPS
-Once again, pH between 4.5-5.5
- The pH of my water/nutrient mixtures is ALWAYS between 6.5-7.0
-3 gal nursery pot
-Topped once
