Ya overcorrecting my pH was kinda tough I bought a digital greenhouse cmh cause kinda poor got a sun system now old one has been good to me I worry about flooding so much but when I back off they get yellow I think I'm up to full suggested time for uv how far along are you I have never lollipopped so I figured just let the reds make them stretch

That's why I didn't never have and I don't want to mess them up are autos something you don't lollipop that plant looks sweet I don't think I will be that far along at week 3 I think they are taking there time I noticed the nodes are starting to not be straight across from each other

I wouldn't. But thats me. I haven't had the chance to do an auto. This is still all new to me. I only took off what I felt the light couldn't reach anymore. When I get home tomorrow is going to be the last time till harvest

I think your not supposed to cut after week 3 then some say no cutting after light switch but I have no experience either way I use seed finder to find my strain it will tell you about how long I heard trichomes are supposed to be like half Amber color

I think I have them dimmed to about 80%. Had a spell of root rot in the beginning. Ever since that cleared up she's been one happy girl. Have you grown before? Or is this your first? I've done a few in soil that I could never get to veg properly and gave up on them. I can't grow in soil. Hydro all the way haha

The ph is really easy to dial in. Ive got basic water... so I need to use about 10-30ml of ph down a week. Every day my buddy is checking the ph. When I'm home I checking every day. Ive been really pushing her with nutes too. Like full strength and she's blooming fantastically. My buddy says she has a fruity skunk smell to her

Bro u were doing good. What do you feel happened? I use an ebb and flow system too. Been using it for a couple years now. It’s the easiest thing I’ve ever used besides maybe DTW in coco.

What nutrients u using?
Sorry don’t know shit about the ext from r video. I think you have to make like a YouTube channel and put the video there and then put a link here on your grow log.

To answer your question from your other thread.

Flood and drain, ebb and flow, you cant really water too often, its maybe wasteful but the main thing is they are getting nutrients and they are get fresh o2 when they drain.

As for yellowing tops, looks like its in fast growing mode and its the less mobile nutrients not keeping up with the transition. Its normal. At least thats what it looks like from your pics.

Oh and 2EC is way overkill, especially in a situation where plants are getting watered so often.
Again, doesn't seem to be doing you any harm, just a bit ott

Dude try phoning the store because I thought mine was shut ,there still delivering ,but only taking money via card. But I had a drop yesterday ,over did it on order but I have no idea how long this is going to last .
