Ph up and down arrived today from gen hydroponics. So if my house water is 6-7 and run off from plants is around 8... what should I aim for to make a gallon of water.
Man bro your tap water aint really the problem so much as the dirt is. It is getting depeleted of nutrients and ph swinging. Next time wont have these problems, the dolomite lime in the mix buffers ph and keeps it steady, you dont got that atm . I dont think the ph up or down is gonna help really. You got like 2-3 weeks left roughly. If you can flush them with like 5 gallons of water or more if you can get rid of the runoff easy then take ph again, it will help some but i bet it will swing right back up.
If it was me id do a flush with your tap water and retest ph, and more then likely just let em ride out, may as well cut off the dead shit off too.
On the bright side trimming will be a breeze!
That ph up and down is a bad band aid at this point, shits lookin decent, id just run out the streak rather then fuck with the ph more at this point.
Your first grow, your gonna be smokin good dude. I seen way worse from some guys trust me lol
Can you flush with alot of water and get rid of run off?
Can you flower in the day so you dont bug your wife if you shop vac next time? Ive used one of those super absorbant towel things before too but its a pain in the ass soak it up wring it out lol.
When I do the soil mix i just water until a tiny bit of run off not much.
Good call on the fan. Dont want rot now.
No need for massive run off if you are not using salt fertilizer
We aren't here during day time and leaving it run whole gone is not something I'm betting my house on...yet. maybe next grow. Lol. Tomorrow I'll water less and see how it goes. How can I look for rot?
I'd say you will be alright man, your buds are going to still be super potent and you WILL be happy with the outcome, unless you have bud rot, definitely check for that. Looks for the webbing's inside of the bud by gently opening it up ( using an led light to do this will maximize and magnify the spores much more than any other light) so I recommend using one to check the buds, a cheap led flashlight will do the trick.
If you find any update us ASAP and we will take you from there.
However, I do not think botrytis is your problem here, I have tons of experience with it and have seen perfectly healthy looking one pound plants outdoors infected to the point of the entire plant going to waste and the leaves never exhibited those symptoms you have. On the other hand, I have seen it appear with the same symptoms as well.
I have had these problems happen to me before and when I did I never pH'd anything throughout the entire grow (so i'm sure pH was definitely the problem for me) and I still don't use a pH pen. I will on my next grow though, but lately i've been using the pH perfect AN line and so far am very satisfied with the product keeping things stable. I had problems early on in my current grow but it wasn't do to the nutes in general though.
Keep her rockin' bro and can't wait to see the bud porn harvest pics and here a good smoke report! I am a fiend for smoke reports, love reading them for some reason, as the high in the bud is what makes the bud, in my opinion. Good luck!
Don't forget to get on that bud rot check asap though! If you wait until your bud starts looking like those leaves on the outside then i'd hate to say it, but your in for a huge disappointment!
You want to catch it in the beginning stages when it is a webbing, instead of a brown rotten mush. You will get about 80% more usable product this way, or somewhere along that line.
