On the other hand...I've got a Dougs Varin that's been doing just fine with the exact same regimen, so I've been leaning toward this being a particular sensitivity with the Malawi...plus there's this bit of advice on the Ace Seeds Malawi page: We recommend moderate nutrients levels during the...

do you have any recommendations for good soil ph meters? Would suggest measuring run-off and soil, or just soil ph?

No, I'm definitely not sure that I need to be adding that much. I have a bad habit of giving plants more than I should. I see all these folks growing monster colas using 10 different bottles of nutes, etc. and I'm trying to compete with organic top-dressing...it often gets me into trouble. At...

Just so I understand correctly, are you saying that over time the ph down in the water may present a residual effect on the soil and, thus, lower the soil ph?

I know what molasses does - that’s exactly why I’m using it. I appreciate the advice, though, and will ph after mixing it in the water.

This thing for water ph: https://a.co/d/3WCmGr9 Haven’t tested soil ph…

I check my ph before every watering with the standard yellow meter (cheap, but not total garbage). I always need to bring it down from 8+ with some organic granulated citric acid. Maybe it's time I calibrated the meter? Regarding the Cal-Mag, I've been using Roots Organic Elemental and have...

Well I don’t know what to tell ya. The best I can figure is too many nutes and I’m dialing them back a bit now. She did have one or two days that breached 80 degrees in the tent but that was about a month ago and she didn’t like that, but I didn’t witness a long-standing disruption as a result...

This is interesting - I’ve been looking for a chart like this. I wonder if I’ve gone too far with the cal and magnesium

My ph has been solidly consistent between 6.5 and 6.7

Hey folks, I’ve been a bit too aggressive with my nutes and my Malawi has been showing some major N toxicity with clawing leaves. It’s been a week or two of trying to remediate this with flushing but I’m now seeing what looks like Phosphorous deficiency…so I’m wondering if too much N locks out...

Eh…got 0.85 oz out of 2 plants. Pretty piss poor showing but these were good plants to learn some hard lessons on (they were basically free seeds). Pretty finicky strain but I’d rather have a steep learning curve early on in my growing career. Everything else seems easy by comparison. They taste...

Love it - thanks for sharing. I agree 100%. While I'm annoyed at comparisons to better, more experienced growers, I fully understand and acknowledge that skill comes with time and experience. These girls have finally started to bush out so I'm not complaining...and I'm always learning something...

And FWIW I am seeing no deficiencies - had some wicked wind burn that looked like toxicity but I adjusted the fan two days ago and things are already turning around for that plant

Autos are in a 2x2 with the sf-1000 at 19/5. Photos are in a 2x4 with the sf-2000 at 18/6

Interesting - ok good to know about the temps. Thanks everyone.

Temps: 73ish F Humidity: 55% Seed Sources: Garden of Greens, Seedsman, Ace, Sweet Seeds Watering: every 2-3 days (dechlorinated and ph 6.3 - 6.5) Checking soil in ph: no (it's FFOF so I assume it's buffered well enough) Lighting: SF-1000, SF-2000 (checking PPFD to be appropriate based on Jorge...

I'm still new to this so I could be wrong, but I feel like every time I check an organic grow out on growdiaries the plants are exploding by week 3 and my plants are always lagging behind, comparatively speaking. I'm currently running two photos and two autos and it pisses me off to see how fast...

I think I just figured this out. I was having the same issue in the fall with a few autos when they were young. Pretty sure this is wind burn. Same weird distorted look on the leaves that eventually clawed down and dried up along the edges. Same fan aimed directly on them at roughly the same...

That's encouraging - thanks for sharing! I've heard great things about Malawi so hopefully she pulls through
