Hey guys i was wondering whether any of you know whats going on here?
I haven't seen this before; I just watered them an hour ago and they were pretty dry if it matters.
The leaves look like they are curling upwards and forming a cup around the top of the plant.

Hey guys i i'm pretty sure im having ph problems and not nutrient problems so i am going to have to invest in a PH tester.

If someone could post a link to a tester and the calibration liquid that would be great.

+rep to who ever gets me the best deal and the fastest because i only have 2-3 weeks left of flowering.

Here's the one I picked up and it was recommended by a few members on here. Cheap and works! You can find the solution aswell, I would just pick up some ph7 solution. They also make a storage solution you might want to think about, I've just been storing mine with a little water in the cap though.. Either way good luck! Plant are looking good. I'll dig the link up hold on 1 sec. Its a milwaukee 600.

Here's when I was looking for one and a few other suggestions.

+rep, thanks man... lol im still figuring out what i need to buy, so just the tester and the ph7 solution will be good?

then i need to get some ph up and down right?

i am about to just stop giving nutrients so i dont have to deal with this, it seems like way to much effort for 2 nute waterings

Harth, here is the deal, If you have a PH problem, then you are going to have a nute problem as well. Depending on your PH levels, certain nutrients will become locked out, meaning that if the ph is not right, the plant will not be able to use the nutrients. However, if you only have 3 weeks left anyway, you should just start flushing now...

hmm yeah i guess i will,

wanna just sum up what flushing is again for me haha.
my first harvested plant was just chopped when i though it was done so i don't know about flushing.

Edit: wait let me get a picture of one of my plants so you can tell me if i should flush

Edit2: here are two pictures of one of the plants, sorry about the quality i used my phone
remember that they are autos and are in week 6, also they are supposed to finish in 8-10 weeks

They are lookin nice man how many do you have going?
I got 5 going, 4 inside but im too lazy to take pictures of all of them plus my camera is broken again.
The one outside flowered slower because of all of the rain but its bigger than the indoor ones.
Ill bring the outdoor one in when the indoors finish b4 it.

Exactly, the main thing is not letting it dry out. You use the solution to calibrate it and then when your done using it you either
A.) Store it in the actual storage solution they sell.
Or B.) Store it in the buffer solution that you used to calibrate or tap water if you don't have the storage solution.
Oh they give you a little free packet to calibrate it once but i would by some extra just in case.

I didn't know either, I was just warned not to let the tip dry out so I decided to read a little about it to make sure I don't wast 20bucks :)

Thanks for the +Rep, even if you don't need the ph tester this time around I'm sure it will come in handy in the future!

I think that your ladies look fine, and I would continue on the same schedule you have been using for another two weeks, then start flushing. Also do you have molasses? If not I would use that as well.

blackstrap unsulpured mollasses, any brand will do, i use it wit every watering, veg and flower at 1tbs/gal. good stuff, lotta benefits.

flushing is also done by choice, nature doesnt flush it gives plants a full spectrum of nutes until death, letting it thrive and grow and get bigger until it dies. some say flush for various reasons, but i choose not to, most issues can be fixed by curing, in which u should be doin anyway.

what im scared about is getting really harsh weed because i used ferts untill death and didnt flush.
For some reason my first plant i harvested when i take medium hits of it i cough and i never cough like i pride my self on it haha.
So i dont know what i did its prob cus i chopped it early
