Assist, taking so long

Soda water? Who is bringing the whiskey?

read a few posts on top and this is what my thoughts are of the problem
what i believe has occured is being plants are green your feeding is to high and your ph is way out to lunch meaning you got nutrient lock out of some kind thus stopping growing sorta like putting a dvd player on pause

my solution is flush everything out with 5.6 ph 3 - 4 times your res capacity on 4th time add nutrients but in the area of 600 ppm remember to check ph
you are lucky kinda you could of went the other way and really hurt your girls

reason why i say this is it kinda just happened to me meaning my plants were green and in flower but litterally stopped growing so after 2 weeks my soil was still wet so i decided something better be checked here so i flushed 1 plant my ppm exceeded 2000 and my run off ph was 6.2 i was like wtf
so i flushed them all with 6.9 ph brought ppm down to 1000 and flushed water 6.5 final well its bin 3 days and plants are back in motion buds growing and all green
see i was lucky with my ph being low it didnt allow the nutrient uptake from the plant or i be seeing massive burnt plants by now and there green

if it takes to long we need to start worry about root rot with these issues don't i. We are working on these issues, what do you mean by flush, run our irrigation a few time replacing the water?

IDK the guy said they like it, my friend

I see a few issues worthy of checking~
Whats grow medium is in them pots?
I'm guessing we're talk about the ones
in pots and not the ones in the rock wool
cubes? The ones in the pot look very over
watered and possible root bound On the
ph I would fed at 5.8. What ppms are you
feeding? 800?

We have 1200 ppm, we are using canna tera. We have turned the watering down. we need to flush the soil this weekend tho with a lower ph.

I flushed the soil until the run off was 800 ppm, and changed my mix to about the same level. PH is now at 5.8, is that a good level? The guy in the shop recommended just keeping on 6.0 for the whole grow.

There were some salt deposits on the surface of the soil, hopefully this will fix my problem. I will let you know how it goes.

I thought you were growing in a hydro set up? But now you are talking about salt build up on top of the soil. I am confused now.

Thanks for all the advice, just to let you know I took some of your opinions seriously what we did was flsuh the whole system 2 times, redid the ressi and put the ph to 5.5 and let it rise naturally to about 6.2 every few days and knock it back down again. At first tehy looked like they were going to die, but after our 2 cycles of cleaning the soil it all went back to normal. Now 3 weeks later they have put on around 1 ft in hieight. Pics coming soon.

Thanks for all your help guys, my kids are looking healthy and strong now

its growing in canna tera

I am still confused. Are you growing in soil or Hydro? You keep talking about your soil, but the also about hydro. Like the PH of 5.5. That is way to low for soil. But maybe i got lost between this thread and all the others. (Head Spins)

Then i can not stop wondering why he talks of a PH of 5.5 and then speaks of his soil?

Sorry I don't really know the difference. We have a flood and drain set up on around 30 of our plants now they are in clay balls, the 6 in the pots are sitting in canna tera, and are now a healthy 4 feet tall and we have decided to place them in the 12/12 room. Next we will only use clay balls or try our hand at aeroponics.

Seeds just got in and we have good ones now and seem to have the grow cycle down now. We want to get them going and produce 3 mother trees of 3 different strains, we will probably keep these in soil, or should we just use clay balls like with the rest?
