No. If your soil is truly acidic the only cure is to repot. dolomite will work but it takes too long If you already have a lockout.

I only use ocean forest and fox farm line of nutes and have never had a ph problem. First, runoff is not an accurate test of the soil's ph. Get a good soil probe. Second, if you truly have a ph problem, it is most likely overfeeding or not ph'ing nutes before you feed.

Nute burn. Repot into something larger and only give it water for a couple of waterings. Be carefull with the fox farm nutes. I go Feed- Water-Water- Feed.

If you are only using a 3x3 tent, why are you using a 600 watt light? I have a 3x4 box and get massive buds with a 400 watt. I suggest to go down to a 400, save on power and it wont throw off as much heat.

I just got done messing with mites on two plants 3 weeks in veg. I tried sprays and the only thing that worked was a hot shot no pest strip, put it in my grow box during the 6 hrs of lights out and it killed em all.

AKs usually a 10 week strain. I had the same deal on my first photo grow. Hang in there for some huge couchlocking colas.

I always dry out soil as much as possible before harvest, within reason you dont want plants to wilt, and Yes I give 24 hrs of darkness to boost resin production.

Thats not N def. I bet your over doing it with the tiger bloom.

Im a soil grower and dont know alot about hydro but burning like that is almost always caused by over feeding of tiger bloom.

Go with the wire. I use trip wire sold at the army/navy store. No need to make loops or anything fancy, just bend into a hook as stated above.

I have always just scraped them with a razor blade, but on my recent Trainwreck harvest the buds were to sticky and I couldn't keep up, so I put down the scissors and started plucking. The buds came out looking better than the scissor trimmed buds. I am interested in seeing how well plucking...

Not sure if thats considered foxtailing or not. It happens on all Green House Trainwreck buds, so I think its more of a genetic thing. Ive had foxtailing buds before and usually the big colas have calyx towers all over them and not just the tops. Either way its new growth and its a good thing.

Yah, thats what I have. Not sure of your setup or how long you veg/ how big you let em get. I usually flower 2 large plants 5 or 6 ft. under this light, if you want to do more you could just get the 600 watt and use the dimmer if you didnt need the extra light.

are you sure its not nute burn?

Ive got the Apollo 400 watt. Came with MH and HPS bulbs, ballast, hood and a cheap timer. Check it out at Amazon, there fairly inexpensive.
