i don't copy and paste everything i know. i was merely using it as a reference to support my point (kinda like they do in scientific papers & studies, huh?). a pH of 7 is not horrible. it's .2 above the high end of the recommended range for soil. my focus wasn't for giving just nutes, it was a specific recommendation. i didn't tell this person what to do. i was merely giving my OPINION, same as everyone else.

he's only feeding with molasses and guano. if the guano he's using isn't high in N then where is it coming from? cannabis loves N. this coupled with the fact that those buds look very immature, that plant shouldn't be fading that bad, in my OPINION.

if you go back and READ the post the original troubleshooting form said he water's pH before adjusting is 6, then later he say's later it's CLOSER to a 7. so the pH isn't really known.

i do agree that his pH is of the utmost importance. but since you are the dr., please give us your professional opinion. what element would be locked out at a pH of 7 even, that would cause the plant to look like this? it would have to be a mobile element since again, it appears to be showing first in the lower, older growth and progressing to the middle (and i assume eventually the top).

those plants appear to be in the ground. they also appear to be quite large, and if they are indeed as big as they look, they would have used up all of the available N up very quickly. nitrogen is active in young buds. those buds appear to be pretty young. so put this with the fact that there is possibly no nitrogen source leads me to my conclusion.

which of my first grow logs did you see that i deleted? how in the hell would i have deleted my own growlog anyhow? does anyone else not a mod or admin have the ability to do this? anyone?

hell, go back and look through my old grow logs. my first one wasn't impressive. i started out with a $10 fluro tube for "growing plants" and an aluminum-lined cardboard box, wrong soil, wrong nutes. any problem that you could encounter i probably ran into. but thanks to the HELP from all the great people here at cann.com and my reading everything i could get my eyes on i gained knowledge to apply to gain this experience you speak of.

all of my first grows were in cardboard. each progressively better, both in my results and in my setup as well.

as a matter of fact, here's the link.

lol. looking at that makes me laugh!

here's my second

http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/...hettoness.html

they are all there, just search for them. not a hint of deleted logs. if you would have looked for posts by me you would have seen them all. you also would have noticed that i've probably got more posts in my OWN growlogs than you have on the forums (not that number of posts matters, just your questioning my ability to give advice or number of my harvests).

and congrats on recalling a post where stinky corrected and chastised me. i don't think there is a person on the boards that stinky couldn't correct or one she hasn't chastised for that matter.

i've taken the liberty to attach a soil pH chart so you can give your advice. i wan't something more than it's pH.

i've also attached a pic from my third or fourth grow. but i obviously have no clue as to what i'm doing. that was under CFLs (the bud is a little light and airy as is common with CFLs). my lights come on at 7, i'll be sure to get a couple of pics for ya!

Budding well, but plants not looking great Buds look good but I'm getting worried about how the rest of the plants look and the rate that the fan leaves are yellowing. Found some gnats the other day and fogged with Permethrum. Also some kind of scale found on the leaves. Are the bugs causing the yellowing, or do I have some deficiencies also? Experience level?
