Was trying my damndest not to point fingers, since there were a couple of members playing this guessing game. But none of these guessers bothered to mention that the info provided may be a guess. That's an important distinction when looking to establish your "street cred".

This isn't a competition, this is a community. A community of medical cannabis growers trying to successfully take their meds to harvest. It's up to all of us to do the research and post what you know, not what you think.

Not really. Ph swings will stress the ladies. Keeping it in range is a great idea, but try to tighten the range up a tad. On watering day, I aim for 6.5-ish. (soil grows) On feeding day I aim for 6.9-ish before adding nutes, which brings my final ph down to 6.3 to 6.4-ish.
But, I use half-strength FF nutes, twice a week. Were I to water once a week, I'd have to re-adjust my water's ph prior to use. If I adjusted my water to 6.9, and add full-strength nutes...the acidic nutes would drop the ph to near 6.1 or 6.2. (too low for me)
Every gardener will have to dial-in their water/nutrient situation, as different municipalities treat their water differently, and underground wellwaters vary widely. For instance, my water is from a well on my property, and is buffered underground with calcium-magnesium. Comes out of the tap at 7.9 to 8.

Yes, I'd hold off on Grow Big and Big Bloom for a week.
Which week of flowering nutes are you running them on, per the FF chart? I'd avoid the additional Grow Big they recommend early in flower, at least for a couple of weeks, and cut the Big Bloom in half for the same timeframe. The deep green shows me you've got plenty of nitrogen already.

Learn to grow...then learn to optimize your grow. In that order. :thumbsup:
