I fix the PH problem- I got a soil PH Tester, and some mircle grow potting soil that has fertz for 3 months... I don't know about all that but it made a really big difference everything looks healthly and i'm starting to get pre-flower a few girls so far not sure how many...
if your having ph or soil problems try mircle grow soil

I always was taught to keep the ph between 5.8-6.4. What ever works for ya though, but yes the deficiencies are being caused by the ph being too high and the plants not being able to absorb the nutes.
Dirt 6.8
Hydro 5.5
Learn it. Live it.
20dollarholla, your 5.8-6.4 is for hydro, but 6.4 is way too high. I never go over 5.8, but start with 5.5 (PH normally rises through time).
I started with cheap soil that was at 7.2PH
The mircle grow soil I have now is at 6.8PH(used my new soil tester)
I don't know if the ph will stay like that for three months, but when I transplanted my plants to bigger pots, that soil has ment the world to my plants.
Now they are as beautiful as ever... I get a little nervous when I have to add nutes( i don't really how much each plant should get) so I try to stay away from them but if your transplanting try the mircle grow potting soil in my experience it doesn't hurt at all
*I also check the *FAMILY* it looks to be I have 9 girls... about 75% sure... darn I needed a boy for seeds
If you are talking about the soil that has time release ferts in it, then yes it does work better than nothing. It is generally frowned upon in the weed farming community since you can't control anything like you should.
Out of 9 plants I got 4 girls and 5 boys... its not bad i'm bout to keep da girls and 2 boys o and i changed the pots for the girls....pics comming soon
Confession time: my last two grows, I used Miracle Grow time release, due to budgetary constraints. My weed was fantastic, dank and dense, with a killer stone, and no health problems.Quote:

I think in my case, I was able to grow great weed even though I used substandard materials because I did my homework and my other conditions were good. I think researching thoroughly helps a lot. YMMV.
OK, OK, me too. A few years ago I tried an outdoor grow where I didn't want to do anything to it at all, throughout the entire grow. I think I watered it once when it was like 100 degrees for a week, and that was it. I used the MG soil with time release ferts on about half the plants, and those were by far the nicest and biggest and had the highest yield.
LOLOLOL! Ahhh, True Weed Confessions!
Thanks for that. I think it's important for people to know that sometimes you've gotta make do. It's all a learning process, and we shouldn't beat ourselves up for mistakes, or for being broke lol.
