5.5-6.5 is for HYDRO. 6.5-6.9 is for soil. REally get it up to the upper 6's. 6.5 is so on the edge that if you have acid rain in your area (Like upstate NY, PA, etc= really bad) there's no wiggle room.

I think tht if your other girlies have begun flowering on their own you are reasonably safe leaving the original ones on natural light to finish, especially since I imagine you brin gthem in during normal evening hours, correct?
I wish I can give him a piece of my mind but I think its best that I don't. Luckily I have you guys to help me out.

I can no longer place them inside everynight because they are too huge and wide. If I keep doing this I'm afraid I might accidently break off some branches. Last night was the first time I have left them outside to flower on their own. I just hope they don't revert back to veg stage.

I bought the maui wowie clone from a caregiver and I grewthe hindu kush skunk from seed. All of them have been topped. I know my hindu kush skunk takes 60 days to flower but I have no idea how long my maui wowie will take... anyone familiar with maui wowie?

Try flushing out your soil very well for like an hour. Just leave the hose there on a slow drip, make sure the water isnt puddling but being absorbed into the soil.

If you are watering the same amount every time and it isnt running well out of the bottom then the water is reaching the same poing in the pot every time accumulating a salt layer.

Just a theory :O might be somethin else.
I am such a newb for not mentioning that I am using r/o water only. The first 2 are in a 5 gallon pot and 15 minutes ago I flushed them each with more than 2 gallons of water. The other 2 are in a 3 gallon pot and thank goodness they are looking healthy.

Now I have to go water them down with bloom nutrients again but I think I will go lower on my nutes this time. Thanks for all the reply. You guys are great.
