I was just asking what the ph was running bro
I try & keep mine round 6.0 to 6.5. PH issues take atleast 5 to 7 days fo a grower to notice any issues with there plants (if it is ph related). But like said, its looking more of like a "burn" issue of some sort to me. Hope you can get it fixed up bro.. I'm sure you will though.

Thanks bud. Yeah I think we figured out it was my tea I tried to make, used way to much molasses, watered with it about 6 days ago. Hoping after it's watering last night it would get better, but it hasn't seemed to have gotten better over the course of the day, so I will most likely do a large flush tomorrow to make sure everything is good.I was just asking what the ph was running bro

Aw! I hear that. You have to watch 2 bro. I've noticed when I add my Molasses to my water, it always drops the ph to far down! So I then have to add back alittle water to bring the ph back up to where it needs to be.. 
lol. Never understood why some growers purchased the ph down! Lol. All you gots 2 do is just add back your water out of the faucet to bring it back up..

Yeah I was just pretty much winging it my first tea brew and it back fired, but now I know for next timeAw! I hear that. You have to watch 2 bro.

Yeah I don't know why people get pH up or down either, I know in aquariums it was just a temporary fix. I used lemon juice earlier to lower my waters pH, took a teaspoon to lower it from 7.8 to 6.4.

Woke up to check on the hurting plant, it looks like the damage has stopped but the fan leaves still looks rough. Can I remove the fan leaves that got severely damaged? I can't imagine that they are taking much light being in the condition they are in, and it would allow my healthy lower branches get more light. I still plan on vegging for couple weeks, which brings me to my next point. Next week I get to order my new 2ft 4bulb t5 fixture for my veg/clone box, so now I can get a semi-perpetual cycle going. Which brings me to the best point, I'm finally ordering some good genetic, real seeds. No more bagseed!! I'm pretty excited. I'm ordering some 8-Ball Kush from Barney's Farm little later today, and I'm hoping they'll be here around the time I get my veg cab setup. Time to get things cookin'!!

Well I mean they are pretty crunchy, the only greenish looking part of the leaf is the stem and some of the base.

So I'm pretty stoked, just ordered my seeds. Will be my first time not growing bagseed, besides once when I grew a Green Poison seed, but it was 12/12 from seed, and never got repotted, and wasn't taken care of well. So I consider this my first time growing with good genetics. I got 5x 8-Ball Kush Fem. from Barney's Farm, the freebies I got were, 2x Sleetstack x Skunk #1 Reg., 1x Black Domina x Super Skunk Fem., 1x Black Domina x Great White Shark Fem., 1x Auto Purple Fem., and 1x Auto Blackberry x Auto Sweet Tooth Fem. Feelin' great!

I'll make sure to be extra careful, don't want to damage this plant anymore then it is lol
Ahh, if it is all dead thats different
Up to you, you could probably pull it or leave it and it will fall off on its own. I might pull it personally, just so I wouldn't need to see it

So I went and took some of the bad leaves off, but didn't want to affect it too much so I still left some on. Besides that everything seems to be going well, looks like it might need a transplant soon. The lower branches are making their way to the top, have at least a nice 6 solid tops. Here is a picture of the Plato plant 4 weeks 3 days into veg today.

My advise would be, to flip it in about 2 weeks to 12/12.
Should pull ya 1.5 to 2 zips,depending on how aggresive you get
with the bloom nutes.
Do you have a ppm meter?
What kinda nutes are ya gonna flower with?
Also start a 1/4 to 1/2 recc dosage,and let the plant tell ya if it needs more.
Alot easier to fix under than over nuted,and can take up to 1.5 to 2 weeks to see full effects of nutes.
Go easy less is alot better than too much!!

ps.some good freebies on the Sleestack,mine had the Martian green color do not take this as a N deff,and add Nitrogen.
Its gonna be a real light colored green,I loved the color of mine.

I figured in about 2 weeks I would flip. Figured I'd have my new seeds and new light and everything by then so it would work perfectly. Yeah if I could get 2 zips that would be great. I do not have a ppm meter, so I'm guessing I should buy one right? All I got for flowering nutes at the moment is AD Big Bud and Bud Candy, besides that I don't really have anything. I am hoping to get more dirt and transplant this plant into a 5g bucket in the next few days. I don't have any bigger Smart Pots then 2g. Oh I'm way excited to have multiple good strains going, seeing how different they all are.

I use this one 27.00 bucks.To reallly dial in a grow and, be able to know exactly what ppm your giving,for me is priceless.
if ya ever wanna do DWC,Soiless grows its a must to have...A ph meter is critical doing Soiless ,Like you guys were talking about adding ph
up or down,bye adding more water to raise the ph,would dilute your mix=less ppm.I very rarely use in soil as its buffering factor,But DWC is a hole different animal.Yet so easy,and very fast growth and larger yields for me anyway.

ps. ordering good seeds can get addicting!!

Haha, yeah I can see it being very addicting. Alright so I need to get a ppm meter. What else would you suggest for flowering besides AD Big Bud and Bud Candy, or is that sufficient enough?
