i have found digital to be far more accurate assuming you keep up on the maint. depending on the ph drops you use, i find GH will show 6.0 but the ph is more like 6.5, and 7.0 color is often actually higher as well ( and no im not color blind ;) ) city tap often(pretty much a gaurentee)...

likely a watering issue. removal of a few fan leaves is nothing major. Like stated, water well, wait until the pot is dry again. repeat. no nutes should be required at this point. ffof should have plenty for a while yet. on that note. what is your in going water ph/ppm? city water? well water...

Short answer. Maybe. If you know what's in the bag, you may be able to tell when it comes time to flower as most strains have characteristics that may show. Mostly in bud structure and color. Study some grow journals of those strains and you may be able to pick out what is what near harvest...

Also. Maybe consider searching a few things you can use to bring ph down in the meantime. I have always used ph adjusters but I have heard people using everything from vinegar/lemon juice, to battery acid.

Some of that leaf claw and twist could have been the early signs, but it's tough to diagnose an issue from pictures. Pictures often don't show up as well as in person, and not knowing the plants complete history makes it tough as well. Plenty of issues can look very similar and you have to...

Day 17? I wouldn't cut out the grow. But you could lower it a bit and up the tiger a little But I think your problem is probably more ph related than anything

If you're on par with the ratios foxfarms recommends. You might want to find a way to drop your ph down a bit on your next watering. Phosphorus doesnt absorb well in the higher ph range

Looks a little bit heavy on the nitrogen and light on the phosphorus to me. Also looks slightly overwatered but that might be a byproduct of the above.

Generally summer here is great apart from one month a year. And winter is mild apart from one month a year when we sit around -40f for a few weeks. Durring those couple months a year the plants will just have to deal with it, either high temps and good humidity, or good temps and no humidity...

Obviously optimal is great. But low humidity isn't a deal breaker. Keep the temperatures in check and it will be fine . If you want to get the humidity up quick and cheap, bucket of water... Hang a towel so it dips into it. And blow a fan on it. It will slightly lower your temps as well as...

That humidity is fine. Looking at the size of the plant, it's just large for such a small container. Higher humidity in veg would be beneficial, but not required. Personally I stopped caring about humidity when I downgraded to a tent. There is a difference in leaf size and vigor, but it's...

Sometimes outside hoses are still plumbed to the softener. Rare. But iv seen it. If you can follow the pipes from before your softener you should be able to see where they go. If it's one line only and it runs to the softener, or if it branches off and runs the softener and heads elsewhere as well

Editted post. Originally said tiger bloom. Big bloom is the low npk with Bennies. Not tiger.

Avoid the softened water. Do you have a bypassed tap? You would benefit from the extra calcium and magnesium in the unsoftened water vs replacing those elements with sodium. Other than that good call on half strength. That looks about right when I look at the estimated EC chart. You could...

Yeah. Optimally you'll want to get that ph down lower. Low to mid 6s would be around perfect. Get a cheap EC meter too. It's good to know what quality the water is coming out of the ground. While it could be beneficial to get it tested, knowing the EC should be enough to give you an idea . Do...
