Do other plants you grow (besides cannabis) have a tough time with the water as well? Or just the cannabis. We have well water and whatever is in it just wants to hold that ph between 6-7 and won't change for long for anyone or anything. We found RO water much less of a fight for our needs and in the end, worth the money. You say they are drooping less?
hey weedhound, I checked the size of the pots , 7.5 litres, not too small I think :thumbsup:Quote:

I think its a combination of nutrient lockout , me undernuting physically, and the PH problems have compounded this issue.
I spoke to my guy in our local shop and he suggested RO, I really can't afford it though. How do you think they are looking, better?
Ahh just looked at the pictures, I'm sure you will agree both plants are looking a lot happier, particularly the short stubby one which wasn't drooping as much. Sounds like nutes already really doesn't it when i put it like that.
Heres for hoping these PH issues stay at bay now and are under control.
Thanks again weedhound your questions remind me of sanity. We have mint plants and plants in the garden, because the water in the area is generally hard and we have a lot of clay it can affect some of the plants and rooting systems, so it's hard to tell if its our hose water or not. I think we are in an extremely hard water area, one of the hardest in the country (from what i've been told). I wonder if i can measure water hardness somehow. I'm sure I can , lol, silly question :D

They ARE perking up. Good job......hard water can be a real PITA!
good luck and happy growing.

I just took some more pics, you can literally see the nutes and phosphor ph 'fix' traveling up the stems erecting from the bottom up. Guessing this is normal plant behaviour, grown once or twice before hehe.
Thanks for all the help guys! Going to flower these 2 soon.
I have another 5 bagseeds germinating now. :) Heres to hoping for females.

hey guys, I was cleaning out my room and i found some weed, wedged betweenb a floorboard between me and the next rooms ceiling, i was like W T F.
Turns out its red hair skunk i grown 7 years ago... about to light up guys.
God has been watching over me it seems ;)
Got to love shit like this it doesn't happen often.

Ok guys, well the plants are looking very happy now. The soil is now damp so I have to wait till tomorrow before I give the next PH'd 6 nute feed.
I was warned by my guy at the hydro hobby store that phosphoric acid reduces yield. I personally think this is bunk, does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks for looking and the help guys and girls :-)

looking like one definite female!! :D wohoo!
well guys growth still seems a bit stunted, the PH is a bit acidic now lol, so I had to add lots of my hard untreated water to bring it up towards 6.8 . I was going to take pictures but the batteries died half way through, sucks :( Until tomorrow :)
Also added 4 pots with some really amazing bagseed. More redhair and K2 once the whitewidow is finishing and the bagseed is starting to flower (want to do a continuous grow).
Peace,

Well guys, i finally charged the camera, and here are the pics! One of the WhiteWidow is a bit poorly, the female one, I had to give it a lot of water to balance out the PH and this has made the leaves droop. Must remind myself to be more careful with the amount of nutes/water to add..
I've identified 1 Whitewidow to be MALE
and 1 other WhiteWidow to be FEMALE
see if you can tell which one has the pistols :-)
Peace,

Hey guys I was looking at the other plant and it appears to have some pistols? hmm still could be a male, or a hermy.. *waits* - anyone any ideas?
oh and does anyone know how long it will be roughly until males produce pollen? I've never checked just.. curious I guess, and don't want to find out the hard way!! :)
enjoy the pics!
Peace,
