Ok so I need help figerin out something.

so in summer 2007 I had this small uuuMJ plant :D and I got it to grow great under 1 45 watt cfl light. then I flowered her while still small and that went great also. she had grown a super green branch on her while flowering.
then harvest time came and I took only the buds off and left the green plant mater on her to try and re-grow her to an even bigger plant for the next grow.
then after I got that plant to regrow into a scroged looking plant. then one day I took a clone from her and put it in a kind of small DWC bubbler that I made.and she grew super duper ouper good also.
there was even a few times where her bucket ran out of water for around 2 days or so and she still was looking better than great.


and because I couldn't afford a ph test kit and she was getting tap watter.that was not checked on ph level.

so then I after that I had grown a sativa and an indica plant in a 2-3 gallon dwc bucket also with tap water not ph checked.
they grew beautiful as hell.


Then in 2008 I finily got a ph test kit and my tap water tested at ph 7.0-8.0 which is to high right.


so then 4 weeks into flowering I took a clone from the indica and clone was getting water at ph level 6.0 and it only lived for 1 and 1/2 weeks then died.




anyway the pix Im gunna show R in order with the grows.

first sef of pix R of the small plant and re-growing her for a 2ed and bigger harvest.

next set of pix R of of the clone I took from her which also grew great.pix from time of cut clone to time of harvest.

then lastly will be my sativa and indica.


and all of these grows were getting tap water that had a high ph but I didn't knot that at the time.and they all still grew great.

and I an trying to figer out Y they grew so great.

now for the clone was taken from that plant in the last pix.

[joedirte]

thats a fuggin awsome story. kinda bummed i just ordered a ph meter. score one for organics

[hydrocannabis]

these pix R of the sativa and indica I grew in the same bucket.
pix R from seedling to harvest.

both of these plants started in soil and I took them out and put em in a dwc I made and they grew fucken huge in no time at all.
they flowered beautifuly also.

and after that last grow my DWC growing skills have gone down the toilet. and I don't know why.
the only thing Im doing differently is putting the water at a ph of 6.0 and the growing conditions R the same.

so I am trying to figer out what I maybe doing wrong.

UR thoughts on this would be great. thanks.

more pix of the sativa and indica and there harvest.
I had to tie the sativa down cuz she was getting so damm big.

now for the harvest pix of these plants that had been getting a high ph water. and I had no idea.

this was my last grow that did super good.

Very nice work for cfls keep up the good green!!!

[hydrocannabis]

thanks for the comments guys. but how did all these grows do so damm good with a high phed water?

because I was told that mj plants like a ph of 5.9-6.0.
and now when I give them water that I set to 6.0 ph only a the soil plants R doing ok.
my dwc clones arn't looking too good all.

and I still can't figer out how they grew so well.

and also the sativa and indica that was in the dwc system only got feg ferts 1 time and no flowering ferts. and yet they still grewand flowered damm good.

so I just hope that my dwc growing skills go back to good soon.

well for now happy growing.

I'm not an expert grower by any stretch of the imagination, plus I grow outdoors. But I am a practical person, and I say just go back to what worked the first couple of times (the tap water with high Ph). Who cares if it is not technically supposed to be good... apparently it may be good for your plants.

Sorry I can't give any explanation, since I know that is what you're looking for. But if you go back to the regular tap water... let us know how it goes.
