last one...any ideas? temp is b/t 71-78 degrees always...water bout every other day now...haven't got my ph tester yet...lamps about 20in. above with to fans so the temp at the pot is about 70-74 degrees...good ventilation thru door...mg organic thats been flushed well

here it is

Im a little worried that you have done too many things....flush here....add nutes there....so it's kind of hard to say. My first guess would be ph problems......leading to problems with everything else. You NEEd to check ph because if it is wrong nothing else you do will help.....just make things worse

do you have some sort of pet store or something near you? They have very cheap ph testers you can buy in an emergency. However.....do NOT use anything for fish to adjust your ph....only to test it.

[curious101]

well i'm gonna get the ph test tomorrow...but the plants look better than yesterday after the 1/4 of pro blend, think i may go with an 1/4 strength of pure blend and see what happens...its my 1st indoor grow and i'm totally lost...figure trial and error is also a good tool for learning...outside i've never really had problems but then again i wasn't using small containers w/ 24/7 lighting...thinking maybe an hour or two of darkness may help but i'd prefer to stay on the 24/7...any ideas?

[Weedhound]

Well you could do it either way....I don't think that is your issue here but whichever you decide don't change it around or you will really confuse them.

Definitely check ph when you can. As for your nutes.....are you using the pro blend grow? You aren't using the bloom stuff are you? I have that stuff for my hydro....there should be directions on back of bottle. 1/4 strength sounds good...if they do well with it over a week or so perhaps go to 1/2. I don't have my bottle but if they say use it everytime go with that....or however often they say.

[curious101]

yea it says to use it everytime, i was concerned that might be too much...i'll take the advice and try another 1/4 and see what happens...its the grow blend that i've been using...got a mannix pocket ph tester coming and will let you know the results...should get here sometime this week

[Weedhound]

ok good.....I don't know what the proper ph for soil is but I'm sure you can find it here on these boards.....maybe you already know.

Good luck!

you cant really flush miracle grow becouse it's time released.....the upside is that you dont really need any nute's at all for the first 60 days....at which point your half way thru flower and start up a lite flower nute mix.check your PH,dont overwater,no nute's yet. BTW proper soil ph is 6.8

set your light to 18/6 on/off time ..your wastin electricity,and plants do need a nite cycle.

ok so i got a rapitest at the moment until my digital tester comes...tested the soil and it ranges b/t 5-5.5...how can i bring this up...i know ph up would work but what about coffee grounds...any ideas on how much coffee ground to add to 10in. pots in order to raise the ph...any advice would be great
