I have some Sour Diesel that's been vegging for about 10 days now. I've grown the strain in the past, she isn't a thirsty bitch that's for certain.
Anyhow, I gave them 500PPM about 4 days ago and they appear a bit burnt. Some curling, yellowing etc - the odd part is usually in my experience they turn dark dark green along with showing signs of burn when you over do it.
These aren't dark dark green, and I do have some mite damage but I think it's pretty clear they are burnt as well. Anyhow, I have them on the floor, and I usually water to a tiny bit of a run off, not a ton. This method has worked perfectly in the past getting great results.
The problem is it's hard to flush. I will need to take them into the garage and give them water, catch the run off and then dispose of the run off. Anyhow, they are in three gallon buckets and I'm curious how much water you think I should use?
I know sometimes people use 3X the volume inside the bucket with soil, that would be 9 gallons for me. I'm using SunShine though which tends to be more forgiving than the soil and I think I can get away with less than three gallons.
Also, it seems like a logistical nightmare to treat the 150+ gallons I'm going to use to flush them with so I was thinking of just using ph'ed water. My ph'ed water comes out at 6.4, I know you want 5.7-6.2 PH with soil less mixes, do you guys think it'll be a problem if I use 6.4? It's jsut going to be 10X the work to treat the water if I have to.
I figure I can go low on the 5.7-6.2 PH once I go back to feeding them to get the PH correct. What do you guys think? I was thinking of giving them about 3 gallons of water per plant, which should give me 1+ gallons per plant of run off.
It should be known that I've flushed in the past with about 6-7 gallons, and my plants stayed wet for so damn long that I couldn't feed them for nearly 10 days. The sunshine just doesn't get dry quickly. Anyhow so my main questions are about the volume of water I need to use and also if it's okay to use 6.4 water?
I've only watered them 3 times since they were put into the room, so I figure I can maybe get away with only giving them 2-3 gallons of water per plant. What do you guys think about that?
Thanks
