The plants look nice. Roots appear healthy. Sorry about the Hydro PH issue. I am a novice at best with hydro. I do have a big bottle of PH up! be faster to order from there

Sucks though my PH is incredibly low (4.0) after adding fresh water and nutes. I never had this problem before so my only options are baking soda or dolomite lime as I do not have anything else to raise PH.

I know in a few days or less it should at least be at 5 though so I am just letting it be. These past 3-6 days the PH was higher then it should be as I never PH downed it, so this super low PH should offset any nutes that the higher PH was restricting.

Hopefully itll be fine and I think it will be. Really weird that the PH dropped so much from the nutes as It was 7.0 R/O water and I only gave it 2/5ths strength nutes too.

you don't want your ph to be that far off...re-cal your meter..

Well the PH had not raised after 14 hours infact it may have even dropped a point or two lol. So I took matters out of natures hand and put them in my own. I dissolved a small bit of dolomite lime and put it in the water, then I also burnt some organic paper and put that in the water too. Got the PH to 5.2-5.3 then stopped as I normally would like to start at 5.2ish then let it rise to about 6.7 before bringing it back down to the low 5s.

For those wondering why the fuck I burnt paper and put it in the water... wood ash is primarly Calcium Carbonate. Calcium Carbonate is also known as Lime, like garden lime, dolomite lime ect. From my research gathered the LESS white the ashes are the more you will have. If ashes are very white it seems to mostly become Iron Oxide, or regular old carbon. I got my ashes to that blackish kinda color then crushed it up mixed with water then dumped into my tank.

@Smokenheimer Bartholomew III, I plan on putting them outside sometime in, most likely February. The earlier the better.

@ Miwa, the plan is to harvest them before reveg occurs. I actually have 2 meters now, a hannah one and a reverse engineered milwakee one (aka chinese knock off lol). Got the milwakee one for free and paid like 25 for the hannah.

@Wizzy My PPM is somewhat low. I guestimate it was about 500-600 but now that I added this ash and lime its probably like 700-800 PPM. I had really explosive growth as you saw with about 400-500 PPM it went from 4 inches tall to 2 feet in 3 weeks. So I am just keeping the PPM and nutes fairly light for now.

BTW thanks again to JJ for all these nutes.

Ok...now i'm lost...you are going to put them out in the spring..will they be in flower or veg ??

 

[Jimmycricket]

Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry

I am going to put them out in the end of winter/begining of spring to flower. To help make sure they will finish in time I will probably switch to 12/12 or 11/13 1-2 weeks before I put them outside. That way when they go outside they should have just begun to have small buds forming. Then I shall be using the power of the sun to finish it off.

Hey Jimmy, that B-1 stuff you use from home depot is that poisonous as all? Like im hearing about super thrive having some type of pesticide in it. Im about to order some off line since its not in my local home depot store!

 

[Jimmycricket]

Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry

shouldnt be. It seems to be just minerals mostly b-1 a bit of iron and some others.

Hi guys hows everyone doing?

Well believe it or not the new hydro babies are at about a 5 week bday and are not much of a baby anymore. Somehow they are over 3 feet tall each, plus super healthy both of them. I guess they sneak in wheaties when I am not watching.

I also added 2 more plants to my collection. Its called purple Nazir. Cute lil buggers they are.
