Fopho's 2nd Grow - Ace of Spades - Da Purps & Platinum Blue Dream

[fopho]

Should have a small update today. My pH meter had broken, and my soil pH was at 5.5 for like 5 whole minutes lol. Ran some 7.0 water through & it jumped back up to 6.4-6.7ish/8. This could of been a disaster, had I not been so vigilent.
Figured something was up after checking the pH of something I knew & it being off by like 2.5 or more. So instead of reading 4.0 like it was suppose to it read 6.5. Checked my soil, it said 7.5. F#%k!!! They probably heard me yell it 2 counties over, but everything is all good now. Anyways like I was saying, ill have an update with some pics later today.

I stopped checking the ph of my feeds ect, soil is normally buffered to around 6.5 and will self regulate back to this after feeding. I was running into problems a couple of weeks into flower with every plant I grew, I finally worked out that the ph up I was using was sitting in the soil and raising it's ph causing nutrient lockout. Since I retired my ph meter, I haven't had any issues.

Good thing you found out early mate.
i checked the ph of fresh tap water when i first buffed the ph meter and it was 7,4. So every few days before ph my solution i check the ph of fresh tap water. as long as it is 7,4 my ph is ok and go to go. an easy way to be sure.

I love the way you allow some growth. There has to be some veg before the flower.

Nice plants! Very healthy looking. As long as you don't screw up the dry/cure, you will have some high quality buds. I can't stress this enough. It takes some good timing and planning to nail the landing. In my opinion, the most difficult part of the entire grow cycle takes place after the plant has been harvested.
