I like the 1st page post Go go n chill left " reading it now". That's the kind of thing that we like to see.
I don't think Go go n chill minds a few pics. After all. we are going to have nothing to do for another week waiting for Go go n chill's plants to get thirsty.
I have a bunch of picks of the plant I grew with water only.
Just want to show the bottom leaves. Some branches are gone. The lowest I usually remove, but so many are gone there I'm guessing I removed them to test the smoke. Don't think I liked it. Couch Lock.
It was supposed to be Pure power plant from nirvana. It was not. It was left to the side under low light. Water Only to the end. If it was under normal light it would have been bigger but probably not as pretty.

Same time frame, Might be a sister that got good light. Not sure but I don't grow heavy indica so it likely is from that batch.

I have tried real power plant. A sativa from sensei seeds and nirvana pure power plant.

Nirvana has a heavy indica crossed version. It is nothing like power plant. Funny they call it pure.

Their NYCD is nothing like diesel either. But it's potent.

Power plant has a souring uplifting high and flowers 12 weeks at least. It's an old school plant.

I'll be slow with the books. Lol I could've bought enough bud on the street for a year with what I spent already, wife don't mind .....I'm home! I'm looking at meters! Truncheon? Stick right? No calibration needed. I think I'll buy what you have
Yes it's a "stick" lol. It has worked fine for 3 years now. But it is not accurate like a digital readout meter. Works fine for my purpose.

Tri meter works great, but is the biggest waste of money i ever spent.. so expensive!!! not worth it, unless your life is hydro and you make living from it.
just sayin...

(If you saw my EC meter you would laugh, it's some 20year old shit from Australia that I have never seen ever anywhere for sale or anybody speak about. Works great! LOL

how are you making your oils if you dont mind me asking?

I don't mind but Mrs MMG makes it.

It's 2oz of potent small buds and close bud leaf trim to 2 cups of coconut oil and 6 cups of water slow simmered for 4 hours and strained through a cheesecloth. Then put in fridge overnight.

Same way butter is made.

For butter it's the same but 2oz to a pound of butter. 4 sticks.

1/2 cup oil or 1 stick of butter to a try of 24 cupcakes.

One will nicely medicate you for hours. Two will fuck your day up.

I think I've read everything on here about problems, and obviously I've missed something. I have went with my gut feeling and I've done nothing but water them and give them a dose of Cal mag a very small dose. I have leaves that are turning down I have leaves that are turning up I have leaves are turning yellow with green veins. I think I've tried to document everything on my journal would someone please look at it. It was suggested to feed them fulvic acid and nothing else for the next 2 to 3 waterings have not done that yet . I felt like I needed to let things calm down before I did anything else only thing I've noticed is that at my drain holes of the pots it looks quite salty
You didn't read a thing.

That's nutrient burn. It's almost ALWAYS nutrient burn on this forum.

My EC meter that I have had for literally 20years.
Calibrated several times but never off more than 0.1EC, usually never off.
I have never heard of it or seen it anywhere ever.
It's from Australia and uses .65 conversion.
It's made of a solid piece of square metal bar,
super heavy can knock somebody out with it,
takes a 9v batt. that slips perfectly inside square bar construction at the back.

SalTesta.jpg I love it.
I know you care. lol

Hey Go go n chill, idea just now, maybe check out big aquarium shops for EC/ppm meters, tell them for your salt water fish tank, you have SHARKS..lol.. no but for real, may find a good device less money before going to hydro shop etc.. just idea.

Buds are still growing, gonna need to prop them girls up today,View attachment 3974466

I can see the straight white pistols. That is bud growth.

If you post full pics like I did we can focus in and see better. Just a tip.

Those thickened leaves that are lightening in the middle of the plant with their tips curled down bit not burned. That is an advancing potassium deficiency. I was saying earlier you see this on lower and mid fans first.

It can be just hunger. Or it can be too much of an element blocking other elements. That is the purpose of the balanced nute ratio. Your nutes are high in phosphorous. That can cause this too.

The solution when plants are looking like this in my opinion in container gardening is to run fresh water through to clear out any remaining excess salts and then add a low concentration of basic Grow formula with micros to "re-set" the pot and get the plants roots back uptaking well.

I never run gallons through like the guides suggest. Just 1 gallon which gives me about 20% runoff in my 3 gallon pots and then a second gallon with nutes mixed in also to runoff. then wait and watch.

If you wan to learn, using 9-3-6 as a perfect example... in mid flower you would want to taper this 9-3-6 down to something like 2-3-6... then in the last weeks of flower to 0-2-4.. and 0-0-0 at chop time let the plants eat themselves and their nutrient internal reserves so the leaves start going diffenert colors and dying off.. like in fall/autumn in nature before frost and anual plant death.
Just an example.
