Thank you. You also answered my question on ppm, I also grow in soil. So I guess it's not something I need to know.:o

According to the instructions on my nutrients. I reduced them 3 days ago to 7.5ml/gal from 10ml/gal. I am quite confused by the readings I'm getting for EC and TDS. I am trying to determine the best value for ppm and EC or TDS. It's all becoming clear as mud in my head. Obviously all this is new...

I have stories of Gorilla farming that cover the 15 years I lived off grid in the mountains. Back then it was worth the effort for many more reasons then just getting a nice buzz after a day of busting your butt, off grid living isn't easy. It was an excellent tool for barter for example, but...

They are Auto Flower Sour Diesel. "Looking good" is music to my ears, Thanks. Gorilla farming made my back hurt. This new method makes my head hurt. So much to learn and things happen, like the burn, pretty fast. My biggest problem is I don't know what I don't know.

I've got as decent pH pen and I'll get a EC, thanks

I have not increased the nutes since July 4. Shortly after posting my last reply I decided to reduce the nutes for a few days and then return to my current level. (I have not do so yet) I am far below the recommended levels. You said exactly what I was thinking, the plants are drinking more...

Yes! I can see the difference! It is quite amazing comparing a photo from July 7 to one on July 15. Dispite the damage the change is quite dramatic. It was my intention to ask you what you meant about the posture of the plant, what did you see that I'm blind to? However a picture comparison...

I'm on week 7 starting today. I thought I'd post a few Photos on my progress. I have my VPD under better control after a 3 day crash course in all things VPD kPa Amazing as it is. Thanks again Rocket Soul for telling me about this. I had a feeling something was wrong but no idea what it was. I...

I can tell you that as a outside grower I had no clue about this stuff back in the 70's. It was more like put it in the ground, water, feed and pray. You are spot on about the VPD. The tips of my plant did burn, no curling yet just hooks. My VPD was around 1.5 kPa and as high as 1.7 kPa. I have...

Thanks for the reply and information. I will look into Jacks nutrients and promix HP but with my tap water having a pH of 8.4 I still may have to do something else to lower it but that's September. I guess I'm just being a nervous Nellie about the whole thing. I appreciate your comments.

They looked better before the light issue, but I'm glad you don't see any impending disasters. I'm using Happy Frog Potting soil from FoxFarm, The Nutrients are Vivoson "A" 4-0-1 and "B" 1-4-2. I have backed off a bit on the Nutrients. The directions are that in the first week flowering stage...

Thanks, That's good to hear.

Thanks for the welcome. Knowledgeable is just what I need.

Thank you for your well wishes.

Hey Joe thanks for the reply. They are quite the plants you have there. The one under the screen must be nearing 3 feet wide. I'm afraid I've made another mistake as you will see in the attached photos. Photos Duh, why didn't I think of that. I need some opinions on if my assumptions are...
