no he's ok with that. i said 2-4tbsp per plant so there shouldn't be an issue with his dosejust kep a good eye on that lime, the OP said a tblspoon and anymore can cause claylike mess in the soil and lockout nutes. otherwise looking good these plants should take off as soon as you get that PH figured out. looking good bro
ahh alright thats good to hear i dont know much about the lime >< i have dealt with it before in an industrial setting and lime can be some nasty shit, even give you chemical burns so i wanted to make sure he didnt put too much is allno he's ok with that. i said 2-4tbsp per plant so there shouldn't be an issue with his dose
Chemical burns?! Yikes!! Good thing I wasn't wearing gloves or a mask, lol. I think I read that somewhere also, but I thought it was for hydrated lime.ahh alright thats good to hear i dont know much about the lime >< i have dealt with it before in an industrial setting and lime can be some nasty shit, even give you chemical burns so i wanted to make sure he didnt put too much is all
yeah i dont know what kind of lime it was all i know is it was nasty shit. not saying it was dolomite lime wich is what you used.Chemical burns?! Yikes!! Good thing I wasn't wearing gloves or a mask, lol. I think I read that somewhere also, but I thought it was for hydrated lime.
Appreciate the love glove! Glad to have you!Your setup is dope. I'm comin along for the ride
Very informative! +repLoyaltytoafault, like I said in the other thread, you have to know the pH of the actual media. To do this, get a jar or pill bottle that your pH pen will just fit into. Then take a sample of the soil, 3 or 4 tbsp, from the area of the rootball and put it in the container. Add enough distilled water to just cover the soil about 1/2". Shake it up and let it set for about half an hour, then test it. You want that pH to be as close to 6.8 as possible. The pH of the soil at this point is extremely stable, and will not change throughout the duration of the grow under normal conditions. The soil will buffer the pH of whatever you put in, to that of the surrounding media as it sits in contact. Run-off water is no indicator as it was not in contact with the media long enough to be affected.
Nute lock out due to pH is really pretty rare in soil. Most lock out issues are from an over abundance of one thing locking out another. You have to really try to fuck up pH in soil.
Obviously, you'll want to adjust the pH of your water/nutrient solution close to that of the soil so as not to shock the roots.
It looks to me like they have been over fed.
I'm not real impressed with FFoF, as many I have seen who use it DO have pH issues, but you have added lime, and we can't change that now. Just check the soil pH and get back to me. Make sure your sample comes from as close to the rootball as you can get.
Glad to have you Ottawa! Update tomorrow night! You should start a journal too if you haven't already! Happy growing!Hi Loyalty. I'm running a very similar setup for my first grow w/ a 400W MH/HPS in a 3' x 3' grow tent. So I am subb'ed in and anxiously awaiting the updates.
looking forward to the update. hope all is well.Blah, stuff came up, got busy, update moved to tomorrow night. All is well!
I'm too far into my grow now I would think for it to be interesting at all.. Here are my babies thus far (Only two and two seedlings I started about a week ago) The are all Black Domina x Golden SkunkGlad to have you Ottawa! Update tomorrow night! You should start a journal too if you haven't already! Happy growing!
Looks real good bro. If your not gonna start a journal, at least keep me updatedI'm too far into my grow now I would think for it to be interesting at all.. Here are my babies thus far (Only two and two seedlings I started about a week ago) The are all Black Domina x Golden Skunk
