13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. Iguana Bloom Juice Grow 3-1-3
14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? Water a 6.3 ph once every 5-6 days or as needed. Putting about 1/4gal to 1/2gal per watering. Have Only neuted twice on my biggest plant in the month ive had it (clone is only 8 weeks old on 9-14) Used a half dose and a full dose from what was recommended on bottle.

Biggest and yellowest plant is the straw cough

The one showing ONLY 3 leafs and ONE 5 leaf is Cin99

Long curled leaves, kinda blotchy- GodBud


Like stated before any input would be awesome. I just did a big flush on ALL kids right after I took these photos. I put 12 gal of 6.3 pH through each pot, i was thinking it could be a neut overload (on cin99 & god) and a lockout (strawcough). I really didnt want to but went to as a last resort. More pics will come of them in the next 4-5 days. Thank You!

no help?

When using the aquarium kit to test ph, you can't use it for accurately testing run-off. The tinting of the water skews the color-coded results. Clear water only.
Pro Mix is a stable medium and doubtful the ph is crashing already. Which Pro Mix formula are you using? Would raise your water's ph to 6.7ish on watering days, perhaps 6.9 on feeding days. (test before before adding nutrients)

Looks like ph is too low, light is too high, and watering should be deep enough to add moisture to the lower root zones. Heat and fans require more waterings, or more water added per watering. Be sure to get the water to the lower root zones with every watering, but don't keep the roots soggy.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of a 24/0 schedule, and I have had the best results using 18/6.

Find the AN nutrient schedule online, and starting today...stick to it. :thumbsup:

Yes I knew my aquarium test kit wasn't properly measuring runoff ph. :( I have a Hannah Instruments digital tester I just have been lazy in calibration. (you can bet its calibrated now)
Not totallly sure on the Promix formula. I had a friend buy some at the hydro store where he lives (spokane) and i'm still 2 hours south. I'm like 75% sure it was the white bag mix... i know that gives little help. The pot is begining to be an issue now. After the flush 2 days ago, plant shows little improvement. After reading online and going through my GrowBible, i may have narrowed it down to some root rot. BOOOOOOOOOO :*(
I've made the decision to transplant out of the promix on the strawberry, and also going to re-pot in different 5gal. More llike the ones of the Cin99 n GodBud
When I do water there is always run-off in bottom of the pots, this insures water and saturated my medium right? I almost had an issue with overwatering my last crop, so am reaaaally trying to almost underwater if anything. I will try adjusting ph to slightly higher when i water and feed also (thanks!)
I'll kick back my light schedule this weekend and getting back to basics on everything.
I appreciate everything and more info on how the ladies are doing soon.

ps- i'm doing away with my AN iguana bloom, and switching to Hesi starter pack.

hi

does the soil not come pre-nuted man id say u have given fertilizer when not needed.


the pots are really big so the plants would take loads of time to fill with roots.


id say next time pot up ur plants when needed and maybe given them some rest time would help as well.
24/7 does work but if ur new at this game then go for the 18/6 better learn to walk before u run man !:jointsmile:

also flushing a plant with 48 litres of water is a bit much espesially in soil man(ive read that its 3lttres to a lttre of soil) bear in mind that ur plants roots are not fully developed so ur drawning the plant man that will fuck it for sure.


id give them some dark periods first then water from the bottom for a bit that way the roots will go down searching for the water...firstly let them dry out !



peace and love

Thanks man, i am for sure letting everything dry out after this flush. Everything is so confusing with what works and what doesn't. What is FLOURISHING for my buddy (same strands, same growing medium, same nutrients) just isnt working for me. haha 18/6 will come this weekend after everything settles down. Thanks you again!
