[cyberbud]

its well yellow n buds arent sticky n kinda pale,, skunk special.. i hav coco nutrients a and b and coco fibre... it says feed all the time but i duno..? it says coco dont need flushin either...? very unlikely i think...

ive made up 10 liters with 40 ml each a and b max as it says, with a shot of bcuzz booster and bloom stim.... lettin it sit for a bit and am now askin u guys... shud i or not? :confused: last waterin was plain bcuzz booster n stims..

You have big buds like that and no frost? Am I seeing that right, the bottom is green and the tops are yellow? Are you hand watering? How much coir are you growing in?

Every medium needs to be given plain water every now and then(aka flush). From what I have read about coir is suppose to be the shit. But, I dont think you could go a whole grow without ever flushing, salts build-up way to easily. The way I see the picture though it looks like an immobile element lock-out possibly Fe(iron). The problems are probably occuring from an incorrect ph.

Ph and ppm(ec) readings of fert mix would help.

ok they are frosty just not sticky as they could be, mind u ive 650 watts belting down on it and its about 90 degrees.. doubt that helps. i think its fert locked too.. i added the food i knocked up yesterday anyway and i do flush with plain sometimes til it runs clear. Im growin in a record box basically,, square foot and a half all round. my water is always a fair green colour wen i test it so i thought ph shudnt be a prob.. but then i dont get into microscopic detail.. how do i test coir for ph? wat about epsom salts to fix it? i hav some of that, i heard that corrects ph,, in soil.

i think the ferts weak? its coco A n B .u use all thru-out the grow n bloom... 5 + 4 + 3 ... sounds useless compared to on here i see people talkin 20 20 20 n stuff like that? as for ppms.. i dont know i cant test it

If it's not just me, but I am seeing a nitrogen diffiency, but it could be the light. If I am seeing right and it is an (N) def, Fert with N or complete N-P-K fert, should see results in about 4-5 days, also stimulate N uptake. Hope that helps, but if that is just the light never mind that.

[cyberbud]

yeah ur rite, but im feedin it its asked for dose and ferts.. even overdosed at some point probably.. i jus need to buy stronger foods n seperate NPK's to fix this shit wen it happens.. budget is too low to get all these things. lol

[Joel]

Yep, as soon as you can get your funds together for some foods, then buy it. The quicker the better, your plants are looking very nice and would be a shame for them to hit the trash @ such a point =[.

mate you have to flush .i flush every 2 weeks as for watering i over watered my last grow this time im going to only water hope every 2 days. best way to tell if thay need water is stick you finger in the cocco coir if it wet dont water as cocco hold water longer than any thing ive tried . the rat man

[cyberbud]

thanks people.. i have been givin just plain water last few days there lookin good considering, smellin good, .. to ph my water i hav to add drops of phospheric acid and i dont like to i can taste it i think.. i need rain water... and leaving a bucket of water overnite doesnt do anything to its ph.. too large a quantity.. so do u all use rain water or ph it like me?

[HARDDON]

If you make it in small batches, say a half / gallon at a time, WHITE DISTILLED VINEGAR can be your organic pH down ingedient.

Remember rain water today is not rain water like great grandma and grandpa had. It is not the pancea many people would believe.

It can be filled with acids, smog, chemical and all other atmospheric contaminants.

Better off using bottled if you ask me.

HAPPY WATERING :)

yeah good point man thanks
