Your pH is interesting in that it is higher on the way out than going in. Should be the other way around, but at any rate, it's not bad at all. I wouldn't mess with it right now. Also I don't know if foliar feed is what you want to do, although it doesn't appear to have a bad effect as your plant looks good. 0.2 of phosphorus may not be enough to go through flower, although if fed directly to the leaves it might be ok provided you don't over do it. Info I found on Plagron Growmix is that its fert content is good for the the first 3 weeks of veg, which is probably the typical duration of veg for most indoor grows. You'll have to consider using a blooming fert. Plagron has a couple ferts, one called Terra Bloom, that will work great if the NPK adequate. As always, read the lables. Try to get the most for your money. If Terra looks like it has most or all the micronutes and good NPK, then it should work great in that soil. Actually a 5 gallon pot is enough to get through flowering, if you do this right. The biggest problem for adding ferts after the plant is in soil is that it's hard to tell how much to give and how often. Alot of people overdo the fert because they don't know what's still available in the soil and what isn't. Probably the best way to handle this is to wait until the lower leaves become pale green to maybe a little yellow, then give a fert dose. The directions on the container will probably tell you how much fert to use per liter or gallon of water. Also, you want the soil to dry out some before watering, to let oxygen get to the roots. Your watering amount might be ok at temps in the low 80's, but you don't want to overwater. I think your plant looks pretty good, actually. best of luck.
Hi polishpollock thanx for your time cheers mate !

To be honest with you , this is my first attemped at growing cannabis , ive never even seen a cannabis plant in my life , ( bet ive smoked enough of them tho ) so i wouldnt know what to look at so im a bit para at this time , ive spent alot of time and sleepness nights over these lol ...any way enough of me waffling....

...Yes you can see the sides pointing up , I was aware that it could be heat related, i have tryed my upmost to bring this down as much as i can , before i added a extractor fan out side the house with a 4" ducting attached
run into the tent , temps were at about 90,! If i could afford a air conditioner i would get one for sure but thats the best i can get so i will have to make do for now :/ , But at these temps am i puting any thing at risk? Also all the stems are a purple colour, i was told this is through stress?? , would i be able to put into flower like this ??

I have got bloom , Alga bloom from plagron , but it doesnt tell me how much is in there only whats in there ...NITROGEN, PHOSPHORUS, FERMENTEN, POTASSIUM, AMINO ACIDS, VITAMINS, TRACE ELEMENTS , ENZYMES, MINERALS, GROWTH HORMONES,. Dosage say's 4ml per ltr, should i stick to that?? ..Would this be ok to use ? And just 1 more thing ? Is it true that plants double even triple their size in flower? if so my plants are 23" would it be best to start flower soon as possible? and would you recomend i chage from these 3 gallon pots into 5 gallon pots ? if so what soil would be best for me ?


Thanx again !
