im in my 4th week of flower (my first grow) on a outdoor organiclly grown blue dream. ive only used distiled water until the last couple weeks of veg, i fed it a lil bit of superthrive( which gave it a lil nute burn on the tip of leaves, so i imedietly stopped superthrive, continued with distiled water, which stopped the nuteburn. the hole time im checking the ph and its right where it should be 6.5-7. i started general organics "go box", which has a very low ph (-4s) when mixed with my distiled water(tea?). but it says on instructions that phing is not nessasery (is that true?), so i havent worried about phing my "go box" tea. i started "go box" week 4 (transition/early bloom) on first week of i noticed flowers. i followed the instructions (started half strength, am just now, week four of bloom, putting full nutes , as instructions say). plant loves the stuff, eats up a gallon a day approx... some days i skip watering, but my soil is very airy, dries quick outside in the socal sun all day. ive been trying not too water(feed) so often, but she dries up in a day or so. ive read all these horror stories about rootrot and such and got me a lil spooked, so i havent watered her for a couple days let her really dry out. ive supercropped her a couple times in early flower to much success, and i just lollypop style trimmed her up, got rid of(saving for hash of course). throughout the hole exciting trip(aside from a lil bit of nute burn from the earlier superthreive) she looks awsome, has been healthy, no issuse other then the lil nute burn. and ph of soil has been good (6.5-7). my question is that the hole time the ph of the soil (even runoff from being feed nutes) has been a 7. now after a few weeks with feeding with this go box which says "adjusting ph is not nessasery", so i just put the nutes in without adjusting the ph first, did i screw up? and if so how do i fix it? i just ph tested my soil today with the run off from the bottom is phing at around 5.0 it used to come out at a perfect 7. so if if its going in at 4(ph of full nutes of "go box"before going into soil, and comming out the bottom of the pot at a ph of 5- does that mean my soil ph is 4.5? how do i correct this , am i doing something wrong here? like i said, this is my first grow, and my first major probleme. as you can see ive done my homework, just have a lil probleme i need some help with , if someone would take the time out to help me out id highly apprieciate it fellas. im thinking i should probably have been phing those nutes right before putting them into my soil?either that or maybe im not getting a correct ph reading with because of the nutes? should i try using just the distiled water tommarrow? does that even matter? anyone with any insight, please help?
