Calicum deffiency??

thank you WH, i meant no disrespect, just trying to clear up my confusion about ph, thanks again.

Soil pH should be 6.6-6.8 ideally.
Soilless should be 6.2-6.6 ideally.
Looks like possible Ca def or lockout due to high pH; a plant right under the light will grow more rapidly and use up available nutes/minerals faster.
When was the date of your last re-pot?

Ok...I got the part about the soil.....but what about the water or nute solution you are pouring? Should it or should it not be between 6.2-6.8 or does it not matter as long as the runoff is normal?

Sorry for threadjack sy, just want to clarify something I'm not sure of and it still fits in with your question (I hope.....)

[stinkyattic]

To be honest, if pot size is correct and soil type is correct, you can get away with not checking your fert pH (as long as you are using a pot fert, and NOT orchid or azalea food!!! ).
6.2 is WAY too low for soil. 6.6 is the absolute lowest I would ever feed, because you run through your lime SO fast going too acidic, and given the choice, in a peat-based medium, I would just feed with tap water plus fert that usually seems to come out around 6.9 with my city water.

I think that plant needs to be re-potted like, last month, lol.

thanks alot you guys, i appreciate the help, and the clarification of ph issues. they have been in these pots for a little over 5 weeks now, is it okay to transplant during flower? i didnt think it was ideal so i try to transplant into the bigger pot and finish it in that one.

here is a pic with the container.

Personally, I'd transplant to five gallon buckets or bigger.

I agree with polish.....it's time for them to get some more room. That may indeed be part of your issue as well.

ok i have some 5 gallon buckets i used last time. After i harvested looking at the roots they were not really at the bottom, so i figured i could get away with using a smaller pots. these are 3 gallon in the picture. thanks again for your help.
