Beautiful plants you have on YouTube. I definitely gave it a thumbs up! Nice work bro

Thanks dude! I've got an update video coming soon and a video I did yesterday in a mmmp caregiver's room that I consult on that I need to post.

If youre ever interested in growing 100% organic you should check out my introduction to organics guide on the organics section. It's a time tested method I've used and tries to give a little understanding (but explained simply), so you can improvise and take advantage of local resources.

Another thing I've noticed since the issue started:

The plants are drinking a fraction of what they were when they were healthy

I would let the soil dry out until the plants start to droop and the soil appeared dry, watered every 3 days or so.

Now it seems like its taking twice as long for them to need watered again

Yeah plant problems will lead to uptake issues. It can be hard to gauge what the problem can be with bottled nutes. Its one of the reasons I switched to organic. That and I like the money I save getting to reuse my soil and make my own fertilizer!

I havent watered since Wednesday. (watered with nutes then) Soils still moist, I got tap water aerating for the next watering.

(also ended foliars)

I have the hps off. Cob's are on. (Extra light definitely isn't helping the leaves crisp up)

Debating:
Option A:
to add half strength earth juice nutes including calmag, microblast, catalyst and bloom and let it bubble 24-48 hrs then adjust ph before watering?

Check ph runnoff after

Or:
Option B:
Just use regular water ph'd at 7.
Then check runoff ? ( since I used half strength nutes on wed)

Or: ?

Bubble it to 6.5 then pour in.

Are you using straight ocean forest or did you add extra dolomite lime?

Earth juice likes well amended and buffered organic soil.

Bubble just water?, then ph to 6.5

Just straight ocean forest nothing added

The Earth Juice bring my water ph to around 4.

Bubble the earth juice feeds to 6.5, next run add some dolomite lime (and amendment's if you re-use) and you should be good.

to me it looks like you're gonna pull this grow off but as you've said for your own peace of mind as well as preventing it in the future you've gotta figure this out first & foremost I'm not a soil grower although I have done it in both happy frog & ffof by taking ppm readings all the time I have an idea of what a plant is doing one thing I've noticed is that by the time you've got red/brown hairs in your buds & calyx swelling she is not feeding heavy at all you could not feed again & they would probably finish off at this point I'm doubting there is enough time in you're grow cycle to recover sometimes when you clone the growth characteristics are a bit different than they were from seed even though you're in control of the environment this is still Mother Nature & from time to time she throws you a curve ball it's kinda like fishing you're never 100% in control sure would be nice if you can beat this though

Thanks herk. I've got an idea of what could've happen. Thankfully the buds are slowly swelling and getting larger. It wont be a complete loss

. I am using FF cocoa loco soil (has added dolomite lime already in it) so wel see how these 3 fresh ladies respond!

Gota keep all plants secured. This little bitch loves to top and defoliate

TacoMac · Oct 27, 2016

I've had the exact same thing happen to me once before. I upped the Lime I mix into my soil by 2 tablespoons, then started treating them one more time about week 4 of flower with a few tablespoons of Lime dissolved in water.

I've never had the issue again.

Nice man, glad to hear. Thanks for the info. Just last night I brushed away the top layer of soil and added 4 tbsp to each 7g plant then covered. Gunna water later tonight Curious if it helps. I'm getting pretty late into flower, we'l see!
