Not sure if I'm going to post pictures this evening. I just spent yesterday and today flushing my plants.

They were having some odd issues that were coming off as heat stress but the temperature 8" away from the bulb was 80 degrees. Most of my canopy is about 16-18" away right now.

After flushing one of the pots I found the initial run off to be at 5.7!!!! :wtf:

I flushed the 3 gallon pots with 3 gallons of water where the ph stabilized at 6.5 (they had just been transplanted 4-5 days earliear from 1 gallon pots so I figured this was good enough).

My big plant, it's initial run off was at 5.2!! YIKES!! I don't know how this plant was even growing.

I've flushed it with 15 gallons of water but the ph is still at 6.1. I will probably run 3 more gallons through it and hope to hit 6.3-6.5.

I should've flushed long ago and this was my mistake. The plants were just showing such good growth I decided to go as long as I could without flushing.

I'm going to give them a few days and then do another mini flush (going to water half of their pot size) then I'm going to immediatley follow the flush with a heavy watering with 1/4 dose nutes.

I've drilled holes into the sides of the pot to help them dry out faster so I can get back to my normal watering schedule.

Sorry, hope to have pictures wednesday or as soon as they show improvement; whichever comes first.

It's odd though, despite the fact that my PH was so low my plants were still growing pretty fast. These plants are pretty hardy and seem to be able to take alot of abuse.

Makes it great for learning on your first grow.
