Oh,one last thing ace.
The ph for soil based medium is best at 6.3-6.4.
Going down to 6.0 is for hydro, and it doesn't really matter about the ph coming out the bottom of the pot,as long as what goes in is good.

I made the soil myself and in the veg stage my run off was coming out at 7.5 so I was concerned the soil was too alkaline...Seems to have leveled off now though.

Soil ph changes as it dries out,so measuring the ph of the run off gives you a false indication of what's going on. Only worry about what goes in bud.

Will do mate, cheers. After the fan incident I kinda resigned myself to a crap harvest...she's a tough lil plant though so I'll be happy whatever I get from her.

Morning all.
Do we start counting flowering days from first sight of pistils? Or after pre-flowering? Sorry to sound dumb all new to me....

Morning Rach I counted the first sign of pistols as pre flower, at the point where the majority of heads had pistols (about 12 days later) I started counting as in bloom. But I'm a novice too so I may be wrong.

You've got a decent plant there,if you feed her nicely over next couple of weeks she will reward you with some nice fat buds.

Rach,
Have you seen the sun down your way this morning? it's on the missing where I am, just checking it still exists.

No sunshine here just bloody rain! We’ve got the sandbags at the front door as we have a low door step and live at the bottom of a hill....
my poor girls are spending the day indoors today along with the seedlings. It’s cold....
I think next week is going to be better we need the sunshine.

We've had non stop rain today, I've seen some areas are flooding, we seem to get every season in just a few days.
Stay safe

That's not good rach, hope you and the ladies stay dry.

some areas are flooding,

Seems like every time it rains hard now days some river is bursting its banks.
Since the authorities stopped spending money on flood defences.

My kids have a blow up dinghy in the cupboard, if you need it

Happy weekend all. Tricome production has gone through the roof in the last 24 hours....not the best pic but she's already looking frosty.

 

[AceBuds]

Happy Saturday - looks beautiful.
One of my new seedings died I think the pot was too wet. The other two new ones are doing ok. The two ladies are doing well and had almost a whole day of sunshine.

 

[Listersmeghead]

Good afternoon fellow growers,
I do hope you're enjoying the sun, it's a blinder here.
