some dolomite/hydrated lime would work well too.

I appreciate it budbro. Right now Im currently using powdered PH Up. I assume that it will act in the same way as the dolomite/lime. I decided to mix it directly into my feeding/watering solution instead if dressing the topsoil. You got any other suggestions as to how to introduce the PH up? Im kinda hesitant to try and ad to much at once. Im already seeing some burn from unlocking excess nutrients. its that or the PH up is killing them. Ive used lots of it before and haven't seen negative effects though. Its just kind of annoying I let it slip like that. I guess the increase bloom nutrients caused it to swing pretty violently. Without my knowledge. I know checking the soil 24-48 hours after watering shows an acceptable PH but if checked within 12 hours after water it shows 5.5 on top and 4.0 deeper into the containers :wall: Were bringing it back though.

id take it easy with the ph up. too much of that stuff isnt good. id go with the hydrated/dolomite lime. mix it in with water and no nutes. once every few days and start off slow.

interesting, can you explain the negative impact of ph up?

i dont know if there is one but im pretty sure its bad to be making your water that high of a ph with certain chemicals. I dont think they last in the soil long or could mess something up with that. Ive just always had ph up and ph down but used them in drops to adjust ph 95% of the time id raise it up. but all i heard was to use dolomite lime or hydrated lime to raise ph back up.

The run-off pH means nothing. Don't pay any attention to it. What matters is the pH going in. Keep on top of that and you will be fine. The bit of yellowing that you're getting could be just be a couple of tards in the gene pool, if it's only showing in one strain. It could also just as easily be a lack of co2. Are they good fresh air in there or are you supplementing with co2 gas?

Plants got plenty of fresh air. Its never been a problem in the past with a different setup. The signs are showing on all the plants but are looking 10x better over the last couple days. The PH flush seemed to do amazing things for them

Lookin good. Not sure how done they are but theyre approaching the end.

I appreciate your input. I would think the same thing by the looks of them. Im about to start flushing soon but they are only at day 45 flower give or take a day.?….
I gotta find my magnifier or go buy one if I can't but the AK's look close. The White Dominas look further along than 45 days but they can still go 2 more weeks by the looks of it. I know I had a pretty severe PH issue but they are good now. I wonder why they look like that? Previous stress maybe?

Yeah could even be heat. Alot of times i dont realize how much vertical stretch the colas actually do until theyre a few inches away from the cool tube.

Id wait another solid week and a half before flushing though. Dont want to lose that last swell in the last 2 weeks.

Keep it up though!

looks great! what size tent do you have the 1k watter in? cool that you've got another closet you can setup for veg. i think you'll have better results vegging with the t5 as opposed to your 1k watter (if that's even what you were doing before setting up the veg closet).

really like your setup though. how long do you veg for?

edit:
scratch the tent size question. i see the title lol.
