of water was and IS at 6.5 on the dot, right out of the bottle, after putting in APPROPRIATE dose of organic ferts, runoff, soil right after mixed (before planting) - the whole damn nine!!! It's always stayed at a consistant 6.5 until one day I made an organic compost mix of rotting fruit (it SHOT THE PH SKY HIGH - but after much diluting and testing I finally got the plants dose right. I treat all of my plants the same, if I run into a problem (which doesnt happen TOO often) I just research it or already know how to fix it!
This plant HAD a mag deficiency and it wasn't getting it's N. Leaves were yellowing at the tips, started at the old fan leaves until it became apparent that it was also happening on the NEW growth. Nonetheless, she hasn't showed sex yet or any preflowers/pistils and I'm really worried this one isn't going to make it! So worried that I have a White Widow Fem. in a shotglass, covered and waiting to sink lol. But I REALLY WANT THIS PLANT TO LIVE! Because it's a hybrid, NL/Skunk and God I wanted to smell those buds!
It may still be save'able tho! It seems like the new growth is still growing - just at a stunted pace. EVERY fan leaf died!!! I just don't know! I think it may have gotten root bound and the roots were starting to drown in it's own ferts/h20. It was transplanted from a half dixie cup (my seed starting mix and where germinated seeds are first planted) into its FULL dixie cup (my second step in transplanting and consist of 60% seed starting mix and 40% Fox Farms Ocean Forest. Once she gets about 4-5 GOOD leaf sets or shows me it's sex I usually transplant all plants into there 4 gallon finishing buckets... perfectly set up!
I think I F'd up on this one though, because something went wrong on this plant. It was in it's second stage (of my transplanting method) and it was coming along nicely after the deficiencies were taken care of.... then one afternoon after work (yesterday), I come home to THIS!!!
I almost couldn't believe it!!! It was and is still smelling SO GOOD and it was just ALL OF THE FAN LEAVES!? I Immediatly cut the cup open and pulled it, I thought it needed more room, soil was hot, SOMETHING! When I pulled it the rootball was SOOO WIERD!! They usually come out the shape of whatever its buried in ya know? Held together by soil, moisture and roots. They are usually almost albino white and cover the entire shape of the compacted soil. Not this one! 
The roots looked like baby worms, and the soil didn't stay together at all no matter how fragile I was!!! Roots were about 5-6 long (actually longer than the dixie from top of cup to bottom!!!) and they were a wierd amberish/brownish/not looking healthy color. I've seen plenty of MJ roots, none like this! Nonetheless, I sprayed all the roots with superthrive/h20 mixture until all the roots were completely visible. I then CLIPPED the roots that looked F'd and it left a normal looking root system, only about a half dollar in size though - coming right off the plants main stalk underneath. I dipped them in rooting hormone and planted them in new soil. Then I sprayed the water/ST mixture on the plants exterior after the dead leaf removal. (all in pictures) Sorry I couldn't take the pics while this was happening, I have a droid and it wont cut on no matter if the phone charger is plugged in or not and it was dead. I DID however get the before and after pictures of the leaf trim.... as well as the way it looked like (still does) when it was on the verge of death! I put it back in a half dixie cup with some new soil, as said. If it takes back off again I'm going to take it straight to its final resting place - 4 gallon pot!
SO WHAT DO YALL THINK? DOES THIS SEEM LIKE A GOOD IDEA AND WAY TO SAVE IT? I WAS JUST GOING OFF OF INSTINCT! I'M DOING NOTHING TO IT FOR A FEW DAYS BUT MAYBE SOME FOLIAR SPRAY OF THE ST/H20.... JUST WANTED A SECOND OPNINION! THIS IS WEEEEEEEKKKKKK UUUUUM 5 I BELIEVE, AT THE MOST!
BEFORE THE TRIM.... EEEEEKKKKKK!!!!
AFTER HER HAIRCUT... HA!
THE DEAD CRISPY, CRACKER LEAVES.... BASTARDS.
NOW MY AUTOFEM CRITICAL JACK WHICH WAS "BORN" AKA GERMED AND PLANTED ALL AT THE SAME TIMES, WITHIN MINS.... IS LOOKING RIGHT! AND HAS STARTED FLOWERING, ABOUT 5-6 MORE WEEKS!!! NOTHING BUT MOLLASSES/H20 AND BIG BLOOM FROM HERE ON OUT. ONE MONDAY (ORGANIC FERTS) AND ONE ON THURSDAY (VERY DILUTED ORGANIC MOLLASSES)! SEEMS TO BE WORKING DAMN GOOD, AND SHE SMELLS OH SO DELICIOUS TOO BTW!!!! YUM!
I'M GOING TO PROBABLY LST THIS (LIKE MY LAST GROW) AND GROW FOR AS LONG AND BIG AS POSSIBLE!!! I WANT 50+ G'S!!!!!
