What is your experience level? first timer
Your Equipment:
.1) Type and wattage of lights. 200w CFL
.2) Distance from tops? 10"
.3) Reflector type? none, in small white room
.4) Is there a consistent fresh air supply? yes
.5) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan? yes
.6) What are the bulb wattages, kelvin ratings, and schedule? 200w, 5000k, 18/6
Your medium:
.7) Specific brand and type of soil, (coco, peat based soilless...) and anything you've added to it. (vermiculite, perlite, worm castings...) Miracle Grow Gardening Soil (Trees and Shrubs), added nothing but nutrients
.8) Size of container. large styrofoam cups
.9) Did you use peat pucks (or similar) to root clones or germinate seedlings? no
Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water? (tap, bottled or filtered) What's it's ph before adjusting? tap, about 8.0
11) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen, test strips, aquarium test kit...) aquarium test kit with clear tube and drops, color chart
12) Method of adjusting water ph. (phosphoric acid, white vinegar, hydrated lime, PH Up...) phosphoric acid
13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. Sensi Grow A, Sensi Grow B
14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? 4-5 days, water about the same amount as the cup has dirt
15) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag, molasses, Mother's Earth...) no
16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate? ph levels fairly stable (but little high) only been testing soil ph last few days
17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph? last night I tested it, 6.4 water in and around 6.7 water out
18) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray? no
Your growroom:
19) Indoors or outdoors? indoors
20) What size of closet, room or hut? big enough
21) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off? low humidity, 75-80 degrees
22) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom? a few small black insects from the soil
Your strain:
23) What strain are you growing? (Indica dominate or Sativa dom?) sativa
24) From seeds or clones? seeds
25) Is this an autoflower strain? no idea
Alright, so I have some plants that are about a month old and began showing yellow on their lower leaves 10 days or so ago. Thought it was a N def. so I fed them twice over a week or so. The leaves turned almost completely yellow and I think it was due to an N lockout because the soil ph was really high(8ish). So I flushed the soil several times with about ph 6.5 water and the plants seemed to like it, they grew a little faster for a couple days and then slowed down again. Tested the soil ph last night, still too high, flushed them again with 6.4 water... got flush results of about 6.7-6.8. So my guess is the soil is still too high (ph7.2 range?). Suggestions? Anyways, I've began to see light spots in between the veins on the leaves, the leaves are dark, but the rest of the leaves are light. Is this the soil still locking out nutes? or something else? THANKS!
