Not much goin on today, i adjusted the ph to the proper lvl and my plants are adjusting to it, i have some minor yellowing and 2 tiny brown spots on the lower leaves, i am watching it closely, hope it gets better..The fuggly plant in the pictures is a gal that got stuck in her seed pod..i am letting the soil completly dry out between waterings to try to spread my roots out so they don't get bound

Yea, be careful grabbin cfls, to tweak, grabbed one of my 23 watt ones, and broke it lol no werries i got plenty more, watered al my gals with 6.4 ph pure water, will add nutes, later lol, let the water run into the the saucers, make sure they are wet, but only water on the third day

Otherwise, my gals are doin great

Watch out Toad, I think some CFL's have mercury in them which wont be good for plants or you in general, make sure you cleanup really nice, wear a hazmat suit lol

Sry it has been a couple days since i posted, i wasn't feeling well, but i am great now

My water is holding strong, i redid my lights to add 2 more 42 watt cfls, pretty soon the big gals are gonna be transplanted and move outta the potbox lol

I will prolly be transplanting and moving them tomorrow, so I will post new pics after they are set up

Here are some pics as of now tho

Busy day today

Re-potted all my gals into bigger pots, and made a bigger potbox outta the one my clip lamps came in

I redid my lights as well, and now have a total of four 42 watt cfls in the bigger box. After i replanted, each one got about a pint of water, at a ph of 6.2..There will be no more nutes for at least a week, so they can get over the transplant shock...All of them had great root balls, so i think i transplanted just in time..Here are the pics of the new setup, which is only gonna be good for a few weeks at this rate

Well, the plants are slowly but surely adjusting to transplanted life...I have some yellow leaves, but at least they are perking back up..Unfortunatly, they will have to be repotted into their 3 gallon pots in a couple weeks...My adjusted PH is 6.2 and my soil PH is the same as well, at least that is what the bag says, I have no soil ph test kit yet..I am going to post some pics, maybe someone can please tell me what i am doing wrong, because ever since i put the water from 8.0 to 6.2 I have had yellow leaves, and brown spots I am not using ANY nutes right now, I want them to get better first

i am getting worried, I live in a tiny town, and if i ever wanna smoke again, these plants gotta live

I have 3 42 watt CFLs and 2 23 watt CFLs and after i cut the domes off 3 clip lamps i am hoping to add at least 2 more 42 watt cfls, and get rid of the 23 watt ones, If my leaves stay yellow, i am gonna put my ph back up, because before i brought it down, they were fine

Maybe the PH of the soil is changed after the water goes thru it, this could make your PH lower and could be suffering from Nute-Lock-Out rather than an overdose. Usually the soil will decrease PH, you could try a water of about 6.8 and maybe youll see an improvement.

Sorry to hear that good buddy, dont know what to tell you.

Nice journal so far toad! Keep up the good work. If you post some pics in the plant problems section you should get some good advice about the yellowing. I would say flush them with 6.8 water, but I am a newby so get better advise.
