Im mid-flower when I got the mite attack last week. I doused the girls with peppermint oil/water/dish soap and they been slowly perking up. I had to go out of town so I did a Herc flush with Recharge PH'd at 6.6 (because I continue to have problems raising the PH) a few days ago.
I just did a 1st slurry test since the mites and since I added 1/8 cup calcium carbonate to try to get the PH up and it was as follows: PH 6.3 (always 6.3 whatever I do) 700 PPM - So theres food there but the girls havent been feeding, but they're dry.
I Guess a currative flush with 2 Tbsp Herc PH'd to 6.8 - at least thats close to what the unofficial grow bible indicates.
Ive gotta get em eating again!

700 ppm a tad high … I would left the recharge out and do a herc or a tea then next watering depends if ppm is still high I would do a herc or tea again ….. you don’t have to follow the feed feed tea , feed feed herc… it will all depend on slurry …rule of thumb .. higher the ppm lower the ph , low ppm be higher ph …. But your #s are not bad at all , more worried that there not up taking ….. I had clones and seedlings in 2000 ppm but the ph was inline so no issues….. I would suggest do a herc , check ppm if still high then do a tea …. Slurries should be between 300 -550 ppm ….if you feel dangerous you can foliar spray BK start at 1/8 strength and see if that will drive the ppms down some with out over doing it….

All my plants came down like domino's This week. Bruce bangers already in the jars, White widow hanging up in the tent, Purple cake on the left purple crunch on the right Hanging up on 10' lines all the way across the room. Very happy with the quality and yield this grow. I'll post some bud pics when its dried, cured, and trimmed up a lil more. I trimmed it up most of the way but it needs another trim before it goes in jars or at least after it's done curing.

I did a Herc flush 30ml/gallon @ 6.8
The plants werent eating I think because of mites. Though I havent found many of them even before treating.
I think they're bouncing back.... their pots are getting lighter in weight as they should when feeding, so hopefully no other curve balls. Yeah right

I still use nectar from time to time….. Eon is the same concept as nectar even with PH so really no learning curve .. BUT ! Eon is not using much , not much to mix… some of us where time is valuable and don’t want to be in the garden a lot then EON is the way to go ….haven’t done slurries in awhile , but still do if an issue arise , plus it powder form , paying true weight …. Not knocking nectar at all , gotta find out what works for you …. And I used about every damn nutrients …lol….

Growing some regular seeds next and still trying to come up with a plan. I only wanna keep A few just enough to fill up the tent So I gotta figure out how many to plant At 1st Figuring I'm gonna have to weed out some males. I want to go ahead with topping and training as normal Just hoping I can catch the males before they're big ass bushes.

There are these kits out nowadays where you can cut a small sample of tissue and mail to be tested. Apparently you can tell very early the sex (of course not if there's a hermie, hah) and may potentially be able to cull your excess males earlier. I've never tried it but it seems like an interesting "new tech" sort of thing that's out these days. Maybe a gimmick though too?
