Hum cant find my photos my my white widow , but the stems and stalk are like bright purple.


I do the exact same thing to all 6 plants btw.

woah what the hell is wrong with your plants

lol! I wish I new, its only that one, and I did everything EXACTLY the same on it as the other 5 ><

that one and my widow look screwed up... the widow is sweet looking but stems are so purple, no green anywhere on stalk / branches lol.. its not growing that fast but its hellllla sturdy.

i think it is lacking some major element, maybe P and K

i had similar problems with bad pH also. you've probably locked something up.

When you water what is the colour of the water running out. Yellow? Like urine or darker than urine. That’s what I got and it’s a salt build up.

soak the plants in pHed water (6.5) for 20min,i like to pick up the pots and let the water drain out. then put em back in the water and let em resoak it in.
Is the colour of this water running out darker than normally. Test its pH. Has it changed?

i soak em real good then i flush them with 1/2 strength fish emulsion (with good pH also) this should hopefully fix your problem. it has done wonders for me every time i do it. you should see results (darker new growth) within two days.
it is also very low stress

I use fish emulsion because it’s organic so it is gentle on your plants. Contains N P and K so it’ll hook them up with whatever then need.

make sure the water is the same temp as the grow room so it dosn't shock them

Red/purple stems are common to N,P and K so it's not that helpful.
the dead spots are common to K but slower growth is more of a P.

i had very similar conditions and this has worked well for me.

they are flowering now. hmm i missed that. i havent done this during flowering so i dont know if there iwll be an effect from the N. It's a pretty small amount. probaly nothing. but you may want to look into it

just a quick question how strong is the smell of the big bud and the smel of the northern lights. i heard northern lights barely smells at all just curious and the smell of big bud as well how is it.

[OregonsDank]

Harris, im not in bud yet , Im about to though - I want to fix my plants first I think.


How do I check the PH of my soil? I have one of those cheap drop bottles/ water testers for PH never really use it.


Also what is an easy way to " ph " water? I have been focusing on my lights/ venting / consistant temps, I guess now is time to learn about all this

I don't really notice much of a smell but I think its because my ventilation. Pretty strong.


My stinkiest one is the super skunk, if I brush my hand on it - totally wreaks

you'll need a digital pH meter really. it's going to become very costly for you other wise. As wel the drop method isn't accurate enough.

it is very easy to pH water and to test for pH. if you had a pen pH meter you would water your plants and collect the run off and test it. that is the pH of your soil.

to pH water you would test the pH of your tap water. then add pH up or down to adjust it. and just keep testing untill you get what you want 6.3-6.5

i've had a lot of problems with pH and it causes a LOT of problems such as salt build up.

i now pH my soil. which is creating a soil mix that has the pH i want 6.4.

to do this you get something basic (i use top soil) and something acidic (peat moss) then you make your mix with whatever you use worm castings perlite and so on. Then once your happy. take a sample of it and run water through it and test it. add some peat or top soil to bring it down or up. test again. keep going untill you got it right.

oh it will cost a lot because i use my pH meter several times a day. and if your paying like 1$ for each test using the drop method it'll get up there
