Official Test Log: Killa's Wrecked Homicide

[fourkicks]

hay shake this probably wont help, but ive had similar discolouring before.. and i thought it was my ph dropping suddenly..

hope you get it sorted.. those beans of killas should be sturdy, they will come back for u :thumbsup:

Hey shake,

Just my two cents but 7.2 seems abit high... most pH in hempy i've read about are running between 5.8-6.2

Hope things clear up for you and things go great :jointsmile:

Is that 7.2 for just the RO water or your nute mixture! either way both are too high! like deleafer said the range is 5.8-6.2 anything higher and your gonna run into a lot of nute lockout problems.....seems like your already experiencing that as well....This should be ran like passive hydro or hydro.....soil ph ranges will cause all types of problems....

I never seen ro water with a ph higher than 6.1 in my life.....you might wanna calibrate the meter shake!

Maybe you could add a bit more info shake! Also. you running 50/50 perlite/vermiculite might also be causing problems....with not enough water retention! I never ran anything or seen anything saying 50/50 is a good mixture!

7.2 is the pH of the water before anything is done to it. i get it from one of those machines that dispense water at the grocery store and whatnot.

i might have ran my nutes at too low of a pH a couple of time as my meter was a little out of calibration, but since, i know it's calibrated to two points.

i adjust my nute mix to a ph of 6.0 or so, after they are added of course. i know hempys are a hydro system and should be treated as such. give your boy a little credit!

the 50/50 mix was just a starting point as i have read all kinds of ratios. killa you like the 4:1 (perl/verm) if i'm not mistaken. jrosek from IC and that thread you pointed me to likes 60/40 (perl/verm) if i'm not mistaken. so it was merely a starting point.

like is said, i dont' have to water them every two to three days. i can go a week or so between watering them. i've always just lifted them to see if they need water.

i have since recovered from the nute lockout/pH/molasses problems. the plants are looking totally healthy. i will get some new pics up tonight or tomorrow.

i do appreciate all the help and it sucks i can't get back to you guys sooner.

i'll be back later.

Glad to hear they are doing better :thumbsup: can't wait to see how the hempys do for you :jointsmile:

Um, WTF's Ph? <g>

Hey shake,any updates.-smello

yeah, there are currently two WH in flower that aren't mutants but very beautiful plants indeed. they are no longer hempy though. they've been switched to soil.

i should have been updating here but have been doing it in my "headshake's hempy adventure" log.

thanks for staying interested.

i'm i missing something here shove?

Hey Shake,

Long time no talk. I haven't had a chance to go through your whole log yet but I'm curious why you switched the WH to soil.

We just popped a few WH's. They'll be going into hempy buckets soon.

Later,

what's going on MC? glad to see you back on the boards! i hope all is well with you and yours.

the reason i put the WH into soil is because i started the seeds and put them into hempys and they got root bound. i always heard one gallon was the sweet spot so that's what i started them in. from my experience one gallon is the way to go if you want to put a clone in the bucket and start flowering them. if you plan on vegging for any extended period of time i would put them into bigger buckets. i ran into a whole slew of problems with the hempys, most notably my erratic pH meter. (i do have a new meter!) so i will be playing with hempys again, just had to get everything right to do so.

learn from my mistakes my friend! good to see you again.

good growing!
