BG looks continues to yellow. I have concerns my ph isn't right. Bought pen. Have been giving 7.8 ph water. Flushed with 6.5 water in both.

B looks like plant is dying, but buds look like they are growing. Growth ad seemed to have stopped for a couple of days. I stabbed dirt with bbq skewer before I flushed them earlier.
LB, starts turning yellow too.

No nutes still, plants still look like they are on downslude, but flowers seem to be growing. ALL leaves are tip burnt, curling, weird colors (bleached yellow/green)

Dropped fan on LB, broke 2 good branches. Plants looking like they are responding well to no nutes, and I have moved lights up due to concerns of light burning. Started LST of sorts on LB, and it is worth spreading plant out, I can tell.

Plants continue to yellow. In retrospect, I think it was the 7.8ph water caused the roots to lock up. Stabbing them and adjusted ph water seem to be making them healthy in the new growth.

HABIB growing all funny too, suggesting my concern FF is too hot for seeds.

FEB 28th, 2020.....79 days after seeds went in dirt.
Also, I soaked habib and punchy overnight in ph adjusted water, and they came up in 3 days each.

I finally fed them bloom and guano/worm casting about 5 days ago. The buds have started a "regrowth", I think they are foxtailing and look kind a weird but also are covered in trichs, making B shimmer like she is wet. LB seems a week or so behind in ripening. Mar 1, 2020

Up to this point, I believe giving the 7.8 ph water caused the roots to screw up in some way. Giving nutes to these autoflowers earlier than 5 days ago seemed to be a mistake. What seemed to be deficiencies in nutes, in my opinion was too much light (not heat). It took weeks for the plants to recover from the onset of yellowing and are just now (LB doing better than B) looking really healthy over all. That's all I know so far.


I tried my hand at FIM with habib, it is said to be a tall fast grower, compared to her new sisters. We'll see if I did good or not!

Starting new gals in 3 gal pots, read where bigger isn't necessarily better in pots with autoflowers.
