Have you calibrated or tried a new ph tester? I had noticed with my old ph tester I started to have to go down to 5.6ph for coco because the plants didn't like 6.0ph. It ended up being the tester was getting old an the calibration was off. Tho I did have a purple dream that always did better with a lower ph than every other strain in the same coco. Always fresh coco never reused.
I'm thinking about trying a lower PH range with Promix?.. Everyone says to use 5.8-6 with Promix. I couldn't get that to work as well when using ph 6.3-6.5. Promix uses a PH buffer to keep it at 5.8 - 6. When I test my PH runoff it is 6. Maybe the Buffer is depleted and the PH is too high feeding at 6.5?

Ya, This has been an ongoing issue. Ive tried everything I know. I just need to wait it out now.

COCO isn't the same as Soilless. COCO requires a lower PH than Soilless IME.. I'm pretty sure it's a temp related issue... If the medium stays wet way longer and the solution is too cold turns into an overwatering issue. The growth rate slows way down in fall/winter. Water at a rate of 2L every few days or sooner in summer doesn't work in fall/winter.. 1L might take a week to need another. Temps paly a huge role.

Destiny f1 Bag appeal is just as good as Chimera.. This pheno doesn't have the terps to be a keeper. She is earthy only. I will rerun it before I cull her. Same plant from the above post. This makes 8 total so far. I started 4 more from seed. Ill keep running these for a bit.

Well, at least my veg plants are starting to show improvements.. I was not able to figure out what the cause is/was.. I think it was a combination of issues relating to PH/temp. After a good flush, many are starting to green up. I've had way too many issues with BL for PH. My Oakton 2+ ph pen is way more accurate than BL. I'm replacing 1 BL guardian with a Hanna Growline portable.

@JAWS , I looked in my vault and found these.. I can't find any pictures of this cross. Im sure I grew these back in 2016?. I started a few..

humm interesting and i hope they pop you ya brother.

i got a couple DMT HYBRIDS as well over here

chem 91
diablo
sfv
purple urkle
durban gsc -- cookie monster

this dmt im running now is a bitch of a bitch mostly on the male side, this the chunk and im guessing the sour bubble are all going to be a pita to grow. i love me some heavy indica but for damn these things are tight noded which makes gathering pollen tricky as hell.




onward ..

man our DMT are so different in there looks, i hope i chose the correct one to make seeds with. not much choice with the female but i did have three males to pick from and i chose the thinned leaved boy, how ever when he started he had huge fan leaves then as he got bigger his leaf's got longer and thinner it was a wired thing to see for-sure.

nice hybrids !.




peace ..

It's never the wrong choice when we don't have the numbers we would like. I only had 3 Mac males to pick from. Nothing but killers from him. It's always a risk what we make doesn't work out. It's why I won't make large seed lots until I test a small lot. My Destiny F2s did not produce what I thought they would. The F1 seeds are outstanding.

your point is why i make big f1 batches, if the f2 are not up to par you still have a larger pool to look through. if the f2 are also good then a win win you just have two pool and a good pool for some ic down the road if ya want.

your grows are looking killer as always brother and the pics are really good as well.




all around great work brother ..
