CFL Bagseed, Take 2

[melodious fellow]

I am debating dissolving a Tums tablet (1,000 mg Ca) into half a gallon of tap water and using that to try and raise the Ph in my CP (cntrl pot) because the other day when I measured it with that new and unreliable meter I bitched about earlier, the Ph was only like 6.0 or 6.1 and I think it should be around 6.7-6.8

Is this a bad idea due to the sugar, slight bit of food coloring and flavoring that a Tums tablet would contain. They are safe on humans, and I am dissolving in half a gallon of water... ???

Baking soda contains salts and that is no good, encourages males. But so does too acidic soil, so I need to fix this quick, and I can't find Ph up anywhere but the internet, and no credit cards during this adventure for security.

So yea, the Tums?

Peace

The bag method won't come in for about a month or 2. But yes, it will suffocate the plant. It will suffocate slowly so you'll be buying extra time as opposed to cutting them and starting the dying process right then.
I am concerned for the success of this grow. The roots are as important as the canopy. So if your doing the "out of sight out of mind" thing, You might get burnt. You might want to think about picking 5-6 of your best looking and transplanting them to smaller pots.
I'm only concerned over the things that can ruin a whole crop. rootrot & budrot.
I've explained enough about the rootrot.
budrot occurs when a bud doesn't get enough airflow. If it starts, your in big trouble from what I hear. And your starting to look like your aiming for jungle. 1 plant ready to flower is about 1' wide * 1' tall. Then flowering you can expect 2'*2' sometimes 3'*3'.
Get a 12" ruler and start predictions, You'll see my worries.
Another thing is, when 2 leaves touch for too long, they create an incubator of heat and moisture between the 2 leaves that usually leads to a mold or fungus. I've dealt with this on several occasions. The cure is simple if caught early, Just cut off the infected leaves.
But if left unnoticed, it could get bad quick.

PH up is in the pool section @ walmart. Sodium carbonate.

Z, you will be glad to hear that I removed the dead plant from the CP. It is in a glass of water by a window. There are barely any roots on it, very wound up, but still not many.

Also, I get what you are saying about having too many plants. I am going to cut it down so that I have 1 plant in the EP and 2 plants in the CP, as the CP is a bit bigger

Then I will LST each plant down in a corner of the bucket, evenly spaced and not touching each other.

It can be done! This guy is my hero:

His pics are amazing. I still went way more overboard and spent waaaay more money than he did, more stress over this and work... and my yield still won't be nearly what his was, if I can even keep mine alive.

Dark shwagg or light?

The seeds from my current grow were from all kinds of schwag and low mids, dark, light, sometimes brown... ha, this is a funny story:

I used to always get pretty seedy bud from my ghetto, low mids, schwag.. I try to avoid smoking this, but I never find seeds in my dank, and was not using a credit card to order seeds so I had to use these old seeds for my grow.

When I used to smoke that stuff I would toss the seeds in this shot glass on my desk. The little white ones too, small ones, un-speckled ones...

They have just been sitting there for months... exposed to air, candle wax, sunlight, CO from me smoking, etc.

Not to mention, some date back to 4 months ago...

SO that is why I planted 10 seeds in the CP, thinking 2 would spout.

And all ten of my stale schwag seeds sprouted, thus causing me all of these transplanting problems! Arrrgh!

the incredible, edible cannabis seed never ceases to amaze.
