Not at a the moment. In a couple of weeks, I can make it happen.
Well.... at this point you have no real direction to go with other than best guesses. Go with your gut till you can get a decent PH pen.... You're prob gonna need to spend more than $100. The Apera was almost $500.00 , but it's super accurate down to the 100th of a point.

Whew! I’ll find one that’s a little cheaper than 500 lol. Thank you for your help man

Also … just a piece of advice . Don’t hover over what week or day its on in grow. Plant is running the show.
Very true indeed, many sites that sell seeds definitely exaggerates on when the plant will be done saying 9-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Some autos need that much time just in the flowering phase.

Plants will tell you what's needed, what's stressing them and when their done.

No need to panic @Growtician your plants look fine overall. Those discolored leaves are all the way at the bottom of your plant, they're some of the oldest growth. Lots of plants will go through some growing pains early on. Don't worry until you see more of that discoloration really working it's way up. Your new growth/tops look good.
i used to forgo a few of the bottom/oldest leaves as indicators of time to feed when i first started. large outer leaves and they need major NPK feed or if the smaller central leaves start turning yellow, its all the rest, which seaweed can solve, a folier feed or 2 with that stuff and your plant is good to go. seaweed solution has so many uses, from a root drench to a folier feed. cant live without the stuff. sustainable too

I took the advice and have been watering only and not fussing over them too much. This is a new development. There are some wonky looking leaves on both but in a different way from what I can tell. I’ll post a pic of the whole plants and the leaves. I leave town tomorrow for a few days or so. Hopefully, that isn’t too bad. Overall, I think they’re looking ok for my first grow but want to address any issues.View attachment 5267879View attachment 5267880View attachment 5267881View attachment 5267882View attachment 5267883
Those pots look super dry.

I’m attaching some updated pics from today and yesterday. Am I seeing potassium deficiency or just overall nute deficiency or burn? I’m feeding maxi grow at 1.5 small scoops (tbsp) per gal with 1 tsp of cal/mag per gal. Followed by plain water with same amount of cal/mag. I water to about 15ish % runoff. Please advise as I’m just past week 8 and don’t want to lose/harm my grow. IMG_6027.jpegIMG_6029.jpegIMG_6028.jpegIMG_6031.jpegIMG_6027.jpegIMG_6029.jpegIMG_6028.jpegIMG_6031.jpeg

It also might help to know that my tent is running 74 degrees and 60% RH with the probe an inch above the canopy. I can not get the humidity lower, I’ve tried everything but a dehumidifier…

I would switch to maxi bloom now. Dark shiny leaves are a sign of too much nitrogen. Looks like they could use the extra p and k. Your humidity is fine for a couple more weeks.

A teaspoon of cal mag is likely too much. A teaspoon is about 5 ml. Most cal mag products call for 2 ml/ gal and it’s a soured of nitrogen.

I stand corrected…the cal mag is 1 tsp per 5 gal and maxi grow not bloom…idk what I was doing when I posted this!

You’re using maxi grow now correct? I’m saying it’s time to switch to bloom formula nutrients.

Bro. No. I’m an idiot. I’m using maxi-bloom. I put the grow away a couple of weeks back. Just for clarification maxi-bloom not grow and calm at measurement is for 5 gallons not per gallon.
