In need of a diagnosis

[slowthestone]

So I flushed the container. Had to do some digging to get the probe deep enough to realize a pH in the woods of 4.0, not cool!

I started out flushing with hydrated lime, then plenty of water, and finished off with several gallons of 1/4 strength blooming nutes. (i've dipped into non-organic help)

Lights are out. I've no green bulb either dammit! I'm putting that on a list asap!

So yeah, stuck keeping my fingers x'd till morning.

2 days later...no better, no worse.

[slowthestone]

Tomorrow is 3 days since the last flush...if I don't see an improvement in her health...when is the earliest I could/should do another flush without bug'n her out?

[slowthestone]

Yep...no change.

Leaves still curled...pistils still pop'n...I really hope she turns around before running out of juice.

you said the plant is in one container along with 3 other plants?

[Jdog7000]

Sounds like you used some crappy soil.
The soil is just as important as the nutes and the genetic's of the strain.
Itr sounds like your sooil is clumped together if you are getting mixed ph readings.
What kind of soil?

[Opie Yutts]

I water every other day.

This is too much water in soil, unless you have packets of moisture absorber in the dirt. I suspect your plants are suffering from overwatering. Let your soil almost completly dry out before watering. People say I shouldn't do this because it causes stress, but I let my mother plants tell me when they need water by showing a little droop.

At any rate it looks like a moisture problem. Maybe too little but I doubt it.

too much heat can do this what is ya temps like in the grow room
cheers all

[slowthestone]

The temp reading right in front of the plants sticks tween 76-78.

I raised the container up...cut some large drain holes...took a pH reading...I'm confident know that the soils pH is consistent top to bottom, problem is...the reading from the bottom was a disturburbing 4.2.

Flush till it raises?

Theres root growth all along the bottom of course...but at two weeks into
12/12...(which btw I didnt begin until the 60th day of veg growth) Should I really be all that concerned about possible root bound with 6 weeks of 12/12 to go? A repotting would be a big time pain, I could get it done though if I feel its needed.


btw folks...big time thanks for any and all bits and tips of info here.

[slowthestone]

5 days...still no change. I'm stuck between wanting to flush again...or waiting another day and hope for a turn around.

I mean, the leaves are curled, but the flowers are still popping up all around.

So...what to do?
