Plenty(my wife),seems to think it's a PH problem. She immediately said thats a ph problem when she first looked at picks. She is usually pretty good when it comes to these sorts of things.

A piece of eggcrate it is, how often do you suggest watering for a 2 1/2 gal pot? Usually takes 2 days till the top soil starts drying out.

Lord Indica please tell your wife thank you and also ask her, if you don't mind, what the proper ph should be in plain water and with the nutes added. Will flush when I get an answer

Word's to live by ladies and gentlemen.
if u're using oc+ u shouldn't have to feed at all. as far as watering, stick u're finger down about an inch or so & if it's dry, then water. taylor's right about that water schedule. i know a guy who could only visit his grow on weekends & in summer the plants would be wilted when he got there on sat. morning, but w/in a few hours after watering they would look fine. btw, he had a bumper crop. grow on!

beginning week 5 of flower- grew another 1/2 inch but still suffering from ph burn, actually spreading to upper leaves. Flushed 3 days straight with water ph'd at 6.2. Hopefully by wk 6 things will change back to normal. pics available on request. Starting to feel beaten after coming so far.

Sry,I forgot to mention this: Lights came on this morning, had only been on 1 hour, unexpected visitor , had to cut lights off, they didn't leave. She'll have had a total of 23 hours of darkness, my question is what, if anything, will be caused by this? Gratefully yours, aka

Just think of it as a cloudy day for the plant. No plant recieves light for twelve hours constantly every day in the wild so don't think it will stress too much

You were right actually, something amazing happened in those 23 hrs too. The cola got thicker because when lights came on the next morning the cola was leaning against the cab wall lol. Had the hardest time trying to prop her up. Also I think I lost the battle with the ph burn ,3 flushes with ph'd water at 6.2 didn't work imho but I'm close to the end so I'll consider it a lesson learned when it comes to ph, monitor,monitor,monitor. check out the pics
Wish I could leave lights off longer in between more often, couldn't believe how heavy cola had gotten

Hi DR.RedWhite, I'm not using coco, using foxfarms ocean forest soil, their nutes (tiger bloom, big bloom and grow big) as per feeding schedule, snowstorm ultra and epsom salts. I used a high nitro fert in the beginning but that was 8 wks ago. I have flushed 3x with ph'd water at 6.2 to no avail, they are still drying out and becoming brittle, even tried foliar feeding the water. Tell me more about the calcium tablet, sounds interesting.

Putting a lot of pH'd water in, I'd like to see that you get as much water as possible out. Maximize draining action for a better flush.
If you take a wick (shoe lace, strip of polyester batting, etc) and stick it an inch or two up into a bottom hole, can you get more of the water out?
