i flushed them out again in the morning with normal water that had a ph of 8.5 and higherst top on the chart. the first drip out came rated a ph6 i also checked the entire amount came out which came to 6.5 for some REASON if someone could answer that? better than the ph4 of yesterdays results.. after 2 flushes on all 6 my average was ph6 for the worst off looking one which leaves are dwindling just the bottom ones. 6.5 for 4 and a 6 for one that is not soo bad. cal mag for the 8.5 tap water?

Do you know the pH of your soil before you added anything to it? Do you know the pH of the nutes you have added? These things along with your irrigation water affect your runoff pH. Just so happens you seem to be in the correct range right now.

As I said before, don't feed anything else right now, not even calmag. Your soil is new and that brand of soil is known for being heavy on the nutrients.

From here on out, when you water or flush, make sure the water is in the 6.3 ~ 6.7 pH range. When the new growth looks like it is coming back in without showing damage (old burnt growth will NOT recover), start feeding at reduced rate, as I mentioned above. Increase feeding amount slowly but be careful, Ocean Forest is rich stuff.

It is sometimes difficult to read your posts. Try using some punctuation and spacing if you could.

Good Luck.

thanks everybody especially carbbyback, with lowering ph, everytime i add negative my ph shoot's all the way down to 4ph. yeah i do needa keep it simple tho.

[crabbyback]

Add pH down 1 drop at a time. Then let it sit for awhile before you test again. Practice makes perfect.

1 ml usually drops a gal 1 whole point for me from 7.0 to 6.0 you might vary so just use a lil

im new to this starting as of last night so i appologize for the multi-posting my comp froze and i started a new one and both When you got the clones were they already rooted or did you root them?
Plants are at least 3 weeks old?this is the 4th week
You just transplanted into Fox Farms Ocean Forest not Ocean Breeze, correct?yes
At time of transplant you fed Fox Farms Grow Big at what rate? Is that the Fox Farms recommended rate?3 cap fulls meaning the cap to the bottle, yeah it was a bit of no thinking but i figured the measurments were close to a tablespoon as i think about it now like homer simpson it says teaspoon on the bottle.i have read the fox farm recomendations and will reply when i have them in sight, im sure you read them i guess you were telling me to refer to them.. my bad
Do you have the Fox Farms feeding charts? If not, you need them. FoxFarm Soil & Fertilizer Company

edit: And how much is a capful?
posted... i appreciate your help to the fullest..

Hi monsta,

Ok, so you think you fed approx. 3 Tablespoons/gal. as opposed to 3 teaspoons/gal? One tablespoon = 3 teaspoons. Therefore, you overfed at 3? times (my math sucks) the stated rate.

You have learned your first lesson in growing MJ, and most plants in general. More does not always = better. But, hopefully you have flushed and solved your problem and your plants will start to reward you for your efforts. :jointsmile:

Growing MJ, indoors, I've found is somewhat like raising a kid. First you have an infant, then a toddler, then a teenager, then hopefully, a decent adult (if you are lucky). You can't feed an infant a steak and expect a good outcome. Babies need only milk, plants need only water in the beginning.

Plants can "sunburn" like we do, if put into strong sun, without being acclimated or protected. When you make changes to a plant's light, do it in stages. This goes for indoor lights and sunlight as well. Any major change in environment needs to be done slowly, or you are going to have a "fussy baby" on your hands. :angelsmiley:

Once a plant has been transplanted once and gains some root mass and size, they are toddlers/small children. You feed a vegetative formula of nutrients for good, all-around growth and nutrition.:hippy:

At the point you put them into flowering, they start to become teenagers. You can't seems to fill them up, they are really packing away the water and the blooming nutrients and growing like mad. They become horrible and unruly, they won't stay in the space you've given to them. They are no longer delicate, they can take some rough handling. :rhinoceros: And, if you don't watch them, they have sex and reproduce/seed all over the place. :wtf:

We all wish to raise one to adulthood, to reap the rewards, don't we? If you stay with this challenge for the long haul, you will be realize more than great bud.

ouch! yeah i guess i fed them 3x over. the plant hurt the most is begining to have burnt upper leaves and newer leaves are takeing time to gain size and form..

[monstaganja]

how long before a turn-around? meaning new growth?

[crabbyback]

Depends on how bad they are burnt. Are they worse? Do you see any new growth at all? Is all the newest growth burnt?

You might want to flush again the next time they need water, yeah? A picture sure would help...

Can you get more cuts if the worst happens?

[monstaganja]

yeah getting worse. i am not seeing any new growth at all... i sat on my camera and broke the screen lol, more cuts should be available.
