ph down to around 5.8.
So I should just buy another nute that has a higher N value?

No just buy another more reliable PH meter or calibrate the one youve got, there is no way the ph is 5.8 and steady as these issues are PH related.

Funnily enough I'm now using drops to test the ph......paid 45 notes for a digital one and the fucking thing could never make its mind up, was re calibrating the thing every day.

Will have to invest in a Blue Lab pen I think, apparently they are the ones to get.

if you have already pushed some nice ph'd tnt through her then leave her dry out a bit before you feed again.plenty of runoff will help.......Ive never experienced transplant shock, cannabis can stand a lot of abuse and still bounce back..
I hope she does bounce back......was really shocked to see no new roots when i transplanted her, still had a root ball the size of a 6" pot..........THC Bomb was transplanted at the same time, same coco and nute mix and seems to be doing well....

She had 2 litres of ph'd TNT run through her on Saturday and then last night the same with the HESI Root Complex. Im going to leave her be for a fews days...fingers crossed.

on a side note the root complex looked and smelled like shite :-)

i binned her last night, she just shrivalled up and died :wall: Did not improve one bit, tried flushing her, feeding with HESI TNT and HESI root stimulator, nothing worked.

Same shit is happening to a THC Bomb that is in the second week of flower, 6 weeks from seed. Ive got a new PH Pen and the run off was 6.2 on the last feed.......which was 5ml/ ltr of HESI TNT ph'd at 5.5, 2 litres worth. Planning on starting the HESI Coco on the next feed but worried that this is another nitrogen def......maybe I should just flush her with 5 litres or so plain ph'd water to bring the ph down before i start the bloom feeds?

Anyways pics a bit later on.

maybe let your tap water set out longer then 1 day maybe all of the chlorine isnt evaporating from the water.

Jst ruling things out m8. A fellow grower on here the stem on his started to look a bit rotten jst above the medium,coupla wks later all the leaves were yellow n the plant was dead.

It still looks like nitrogen lock out,give it a good flusg with ph'd water, plenty of run of and let it dry almost completely then start ur nutes again. Am not too familiar with hesi but cut bk on bloom and up the veg.

Wot type of coco you using?

By the looks of things its jst straight up coir. I use canna pro now,used the blocks 1st time and they hve no buffers added,ran into enless ph probs and also cal/mag.

A think uv got a battle on ur hands anyways m8,try a flush and double check ur ph before u water...

Yeah thought it wasnt looking to good, this will be the second one to die on me! All part of the learning curve I suppose, wish they wouldn't tease me my growing buds before they die lol

Going to look at the Canna Pro as I have another 3 plants that are 4 weeks old and just starting to flower, no issues so far (fingers crossed) but I do need to pot them up this weekend.....maybe Ill put them into the Canna Pro. Do you use the Canna Pro or Pro +?

Do you need to add epsom salts or anything if it is buffered? Im guessing you dont.

One day Ill smoke my own bud, one day......

All good mate, was just giving the thread a little bump.

Bought a bag of canna pro + and transplanted the three little ones into their final pots using that...... Have to say it did look a lot finer, less lumps etc. gave all three 3 litre of full strength TNT ph'd to 5.6 run off on all three came out at 5.7.

As for the sickly thc bomb.....could it be a potash def? Leaves are yellowing but the veins stay green until the entire leaf dies. Going to push 5 or so litres of plain ph'd water through her this evening...let her dry out for 2/3 days then I'm going to start on the bloom nutes. Buds look like they are starting to fill out, hope I can get her to harvest.

Thanks for the advice.
