Well I think I figured out my yellowing problem.... almost too late. It all started 2 weeks ago. Im getting near the end. I figured it was normal....NOPE. The yellowing just kept getting worse, losing to many leaves. Im not over feeding or watering, so what? I check the soil and get a ph of 5.0! How the hell? Its been holding 6.5-7.5 the whole grow. I check every 2 weeks or so. At the same time I would check my water reading ph of 6.5-7.0. Well this time my water reading is 4.5-5.0!! Ive been killing my girls. So I bust out the ph up(good thing I got a hot tub) and flush them all with water in the 8.5-9.5 range. I got the soil back up to ph of 6.5-7.0. I think Im seeing good green growth again...sooooo damn close to the finish line and I almost fucked it all up! Note to self.... check ph with every water/feeding you idiot lol..... So now my question. What did I do? Did the low ph lock them out?

Ran into something similar a time back , soil depleted and PH dropped. I had to supplement garden lime as a top dress so it would leach into every watering.
Leaves were bright yellow , plant locked out nitro and was cannibleizing itself.
I top dressed the lime and " flushed " container ( reading runoff ) UNTIL i got into acceptable range of PH . The garden lime ( part of it ) dissolved as i flushed and traveled throughout container until runoff. I had to CRUSH it down to a smaller powder like consistency first ( kinda grandular in bag ).

Well got busy last night. I chopped the smallest BD. Glad I did. I lost 1/2 the cola to bud rot. Buds are super dense. I forgot what a pain in the ass trimming is. I got an easy 3oz, maybe 4? Would have been an easy 4 if I didnt have to trash 1/2 the cola! I will weight them when I jar them up. .5oz of trim for bubble hash later on. Off to the drying rack for the next week. Also got 1g of scissor hash to keep me happy!

The budz on that one are SUPER dense. As I was cutting and trimming I actually had water/moisture dripping from the middle of the cola. No way for airflow to get through. I probed the others and they seem ok. I also lowered my fan to blow directly on them. Either way it was enough to scare me. Im busy tonight but over the next week I will chop the others. Also on my next grow I will go 24/0 on my lights. The humidity in the tent was too high durring the dark period. The fan alone wasnt enough. I need to keep the blower running also. But the blower and the fan would be to cold with out the light. I had to switch to 24/0 this weekend as temps dipped into the 30's.
1 down 4 to go....
