Magnesium deficiency?

Don't the merricans use the 500 scale? 300ppm seems very low for the amount that went in it.

I have had pH as an issue in many grows until I finally coughed up the money for a Blue Labs pH and Conductivity Pen. They are worth the money to spend. Very easy to calibrate and set up and the calibration I believe is good for 3 months. Also what Dr. Young said is very true and something I didn't even think about. Let us know how they are doing after the transplant!!

Hey! So, it's 300 ppm because I'm slowly introducing nutes. The happy frog soil they just got replanted in should have the necessary nutrients to carry their growth.

pH wise, I utilize a milwuakee mw102. I upgraded from a $10 Amazon one after I gained suspicions on it being accurate. All three of my plants seem happier after transplanting.

You can learn to estimate the amount of moisture in the soil by lifting the container up (if it’s possible) when you have watered it vs when it’s fairly dry, so that you get familiar with the weight in your hands.

You have to be careful with watering esp. after you have just re-potted your plants cause their root system hasn’t fully grown into the soil properly yet ..especially if the plants are fairly small in size. Larger plants can handle little over watering abit better,

I subconsciously used the weight method on my last grow, definitely will start focusing on proper watering from here on out. I'm not sure if my method of transplanting is good but I wait till the soil is dry enough so it won't crumble when I transplant. Once the plant is in it's new container, I instantly water.

You should always water the new soil abit but not soak it. It takes a while to learn it all. I used to ruin quite a few plants when i started growing by overwatering them. Different plants handle watering quite differently; some don't like over watering at all, some don't like to go dry at all.

I have found that the easiest way to water maintenance is to match the plant size with the right pot size. Since soil holds water the more the soil the more water content. If I put a small plant into a large container and water the container completely it will be too much water for a small plant. Match the plant to the pot for the best water management.

Absolutely.

Matching plant size and container size will also allow you to starve the plant the right way ..meaning you allow the plant to use all the nutrients in the soil before harvest so that you will get a nice yellowing/fade going = smoother smokes

I stop giving my soil-plants NPK nutrients + calmag around 5 weeks before harvest ..only BioBizz Top Max and/or pH adjusted water
