Yeah ph always makes me nervous. Totally fucked up a deadly plant once with nute lockout. I think I have a bit more leeway than you as soil can act as a buffer but only for so long.
this would be the first time I've gone without knowing the exact ph n my soils buffered at 6.3 so I have some chance but I think ill be fine...thunk U get lockout when it swings n is consistently off by alot .

There was no swing...just me being stupid and feeding it over 8.5 for about 2 weeks. I will dig out pic's later on other pc. Went from healthy green to like alien purple. Broke my heart.

Jesus Christ that's high lol did U go out of ur way to get it that high? Adding dolomite lime to your soil mix helps buffer the soils ph to 7

Hahaha....It was prob higher as 8.5 was as high as my chart went. This was back before I stopped drinking and sorted myself out. I was just nuts. I was using rain water collected of my shed roof and using too much nutes. There was prob asbestos in the mix too lol. Man...I laugh about it now. I gonna sign of and will up the pics from other pc.

Hehehehe....there is a good end to the story though. As fecked up and all as it was I threw it into veg and by some miracle it sprouted new growth and I cloned it. Cant post pics as it's giving me an error when I try to upload. Gonna sign off for a bit and feed kiddy's. Have a good day man and say hello to the doggy for me.

afternoon all, great too see some new heads online....

@jay, yeah dude there 99% of the time no hasstle from the esb where the bill is concerned once its paid, times like now are great just say it was christmas lights, but you`ve been running a hps for awhile now so your useage would have spiked once you got that up and running, so once you keep on top of the bill your going to be grand, and with the cash you`ll save from buying street weed your already going to be ahead of the curve cash wise...

welcome aboard tho great to have you here..

got to re-pot the seedlings today, god i`m so lazy with them, there about 8 inch`s tall the poor like things hahahaha... not to worry tho they should be all snugged up in there mid pots tonight and all settled under some cfl`s, as there in the window sill at the back of the house now, not ideal the light,and quality of light for them these days is not really up to par so they should love the new setup, 12/12 same as the rest won`t be bothering with veg time until the summer...


have to have a look at the rest today aswell and see if there aren`t any more males hanging about in there, there takeing so long to show for sure its been hard to sex them, they all look good tho so i`m hopefull there all fem...

going to start the bio bloom today see if that kicks them up the arse a bit...

md is the strain doctor around here, i`ve never even heard of c99 hahahaha i`m knocking out lemmon haze at the minute, i`ve got about 30 seeds left so i`ll be growing it for the next year i`d say, then i`ll have to switch strains and see what else i like, might try a breeding run even and develop some seeds, they`ll be regs unless i can get colliatal silver or whatever its called to fem them, but for now its only an idea, as for street weed here in the midlands its a gram for 50 notes or 2 grams if the guys are ok with you, sicken you 50 quids are hard to come by and 2 grams is all of 3 o 4 joints if you have to spread it out .... thats not even a nights smokeing...

Hello ae86. How is Noah and his Ark today? Good to here the girls have moved to a nicer part of town. The slow grow thing is a pain in the arse. I find that xmas and the new year messes up my routine and I have too much time on my hands so the days go longer. Hopefully I will be back in the swing of things by early next week.

C99 looks interesting Jay. Seems to have good reviews and a 55 day flower. Have you smoked it before?
