fuck!!!! i just flushed all my plants because im suspecting problems in the soil, and after reading the ph, all of them are fucked~!!!!! sb 1, 2 and 3 are low in ph, aboyut 6.3 and sb4 5 and nl bb are about 7.2 wtf!!!!!! im soo stressed out, im thinking of cutting production and starting over.
Great grow mate.

DONT DO THAT, worst thing you could do is chop down now as you will have immature bud that would get you high for 15 mins and make you upset for the rest of the high, and give you a headache with some anxiety and depression.

Get some PH up or down and flushing them with PH adjusted water would fix up the problem, flush with atleast 4x more water the container size, then take the PH of the run off again after the flush.

It would be a waste to start over mate, the plants ar elooking healthy still, i have completed a grow with fungus nat, mite and nute lockout stress and i still had some smokeable bud.

Best of luck with your grow, Keep growing, Peace to all.

thanks for the sup[port yall,
i adjusted all the ph on just four plants. and threw out the others outside to get some sun and flower out there in our long days. the rest of the plants are doing great, so i will finish off with these.
HOWEVER, the smurfeberries unfurtantley is not a good strain, im very dissapointed with this strain, i feel like i was mislead by what sagramtha had to say about this strain. she is by no means close to stable
each pheno is almost as bad as the other.
resin production is very low, smell is low(small hints of blue and skunk, but not nearly enough for my likings) and yield doesnt look that good so far. but it is early on, i have seen strains that wait to the last second to get all the tri production in there, and maybe a good dry and cure will help.
im sure maybe my ph problems have to do with these problems, but reguardless, from experience i know what im capable of doing, and this strain is not cutting it for me. ANWAYZ ENOUGH OF THE NEGATIVITY AND LETS MOVE ON TOO MORE NEGATIVITY.,.LOL JK.
as for the northerlights x bigbud, so far i like her, she is strong and didnt seem to slow down that much with my PH inbalance, (truthfully i would choose her over smurfberry anyday)
i suspected something with my RO system so i actually took it all apart and replaced everything, now its working better and veen getting a better water ratio. I reccommened this to everyone that has a ro system.
so ill post pics as soon as i can, also ill post pics of my soon to be next grow of my ORANGE BUD from dutch passion, Ive been doing some crazy topping and bending with them! plus i love skunk varieties, reminds me of my oldschool days here in good O CALIFORNIA!!

all the smufberries do seem to have one thing in common, they seem to wait to the last second to start resin prodction, they also slew down but they are gaining weight and filling up nicely. as for the the northern light x big bud(last pic) shes growin strong and smells like pungent skunk! good resin production and filling in nicely.:leaf: cant wait for them too finish so i can start my next personal project!

damn i keep forgetting about updating this journal, sorry about that, heres a update and upgrade i have done, enjoy!

smb1 should be ready in about 1-2 weeks, waitin for some amber tri to pop up
IMG_0529.jpgIMG_0530.jpgIMG_0536.jpgIMG_0538.jpg
smb2, like the way she growing, spear like nugs, should be ready along with smb1, also like the smurfebrry 1, they smell like blue skunkyness
IMG_0540.jpgIMG_0541.jpg
Northern lightsxBig Bud is super dank! beautiful colors from lime,purple,red,orande,white and she smells soosmooth and sweet and pungent!
IMG_0544.jpgIMG_0545.jpgIMG_0546.jpgIMG_0547.jpgIMG_0549.jpg

smb3 (vital earth soil) so out of the other smurfberries she is the slowest but by far the biggest and most beautiful! all sorts of colors with a stronger sweet smell then the other smurfberries, think pungent but strong sweet blueberry smell (hopefully taste!)

smurberry 3 and northernlightxbigbud are very similar in terms of how i trained them to grow, and i think this is a great live and learn lesson, this style for autoflowers is not the way to go, i did very minimal training and just let them grow for the most part, because of this they grew 1 large cola with medium to small nugs
now as for smb1, i did the most training on her and i love how she grew, nugs are almost all the same size which is medium length but very very fat nugs! so when i do a weigh in, ill compare this style along with the others to see which did better in terms of weight. and for smb2 i did more topping along with some training on her and i love how she grew all sorts of spear nugs!

what yall think?

i just upgraded my tent,
my personal hobbies are really what keeps my learning up too par, so i figure Ynot spend top doller for the best learning experience i can learn?(or afford haha)

its a dr120 twin, the bottom half is obviously the flowering room and the top will be my germinating/clone chamber.
it was a little tricky at first with my ventaltion, but after a few adjustments, i was able to use my vortex and a y spliter and give proper ventaltion to both parts of the tent. i cant wait untill this autoflower grow is over so i can get my orange buds in here alon with some new seeds i just ordered!!!!!!!!

That twin DR120 seem to be very space efficient.
Very nice set up you got there which is identical as mine except for the twin tent you just upgraded.
I happen to be here after researching magnum+ journal which is the same light I'm using in my flowering tent.
That twin tent gotta to be a very space efficient garden IMO. Wish you good luck on your harvest and look forward see the result of those magnum+.
subbed~

Yea the dr120 twin is one of the best investments I ever made(along with LEDs). It's a little bigger then I thought, even tho my other dr120 is the same size. One thing I have notice is that my grow is a lot warmer then before, I originally was using a speed control for my vortex but now I just have it full blast, I'm sure this is do to hot weather along with a smaller grow space. Also the top half is actually pretty big in terms of width and length, way more space then I really need to veg. I wonder what I can do or use the wasted space. (grow more..?)

I've been doing quite a bit of research on LEDs lately, and the 357 Mag+ seems to keep coming up as a truly viable substitute for HIDs. Do you think using two regular 357 Mags would produce better results than one 357 Mag+? Having two might be stretching my budget just a tad too much. Great job so far. Can't wait to see the fruits of your labour!
