Ok, my plant is 6 weeks into flowering in soil, getting close to harvest. Well 4 days ago I watered her. I mixed everything and went to pH and my dumb bluelab pH pen was not working properly (after having it for 1 week! LOL). I had molasses added to my mix already, and only a dropper kit to pH with as a backup. Long story short, I know my pH was lower than 6.5 (probably around 6, hell maybe lower), but I had to wing it because I could hardly tell the color for pH (stupid mistake not waiting, lesson learned
). Either way, I stupidly didn't add enough pH up, and thought what I did would be enough, and I watered with a low pH solution. The very next day all my fan leaves started to yellow, so I know it was the feeding because prior to everything was dandy. Now 4 days later all my leaves are starting to yellow bad, except the leaves forming trichomes, and even a couple of those are starting. It is going to be another week before my new pH pen arrives, however, the drops will suffice as I won't use molasses next time. I'm at about 10% brown pistols, and I'm probably no more than 2 weeks from harvest at this point.
QUESTION: Should I flush with higher pH water now to fix the low pH, or wait till it's the regular time for watering? I'm in about a 2 gallon pot of soil, and it retains water like a mofo. The surface is still damp, and I usually wouldn't water for another 3-4 days ( again it's been 4 days since I watered). I am afraid if I don't ph flush now the whole damned plant will go yellow as it is spreading FAST, but on the other hand, I'm afraid if I water while it's still pretty well soaked I will get root rot and screw my first harvest that I'm so damn close to.![Crying or Very sad :cry: :cry:](/styles/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
First grow, and it's been the grow from hell, but i've made it this far and I don't want to lose her being so close to harvest, and after all the shit I've made it through already. Any advice on my predicament is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
