Give them a few more days to show growth, and continue to increase the PPM if they're still looking hungry.

Hey guys, My Big Bud plant had a potassium deficiency and still does to an extent, but it's clearing. Anyway, I think the deficiency has slowed the growth of my buds. They still seem to be fattening every day, however they are 4 weeks along now and still haven't joined properly on the main...

The new growth looks good, however she looks a little hungry to me. You might want to start adding a small amount of nutes, say 200PPM to see how she responds and work up from there.

Can you post more pictures mate? How old are they now? The brownish spots sound like a calcium deficiency so you may want to give them some Calmag.

What's the good word amigos? This season I've decided to have both an indoor and an outdoor grow. Outdoors I'll be growing Northern Lights, Mango and Sleestack Skunk. Under the 600W HPS are the Afghan and Bid Bud which have been vegged out for 1 1/2 months. . I thought I'd make this journal...

It's good to know there's a range! I always pH it to 5.8 exactly and it's such a pain in the ass.

Hey guys, I just watered one of my plants ( Afghan ) and completely forgot to pH. The tap water has a pH of 7.0 but after adding nutes it generally gets brought down to 6.5-6.8. I'm growing in Coco so ideally the pH should be 5.8. I'm not entirely sure whether I should flush to avoid a pH...

Good to know! Dutch Master states on the bottle that you don't need any additional magnesium / calcium, however I've seen others using the combination with great success. I generally only put in 1 tbsp per 2 gallons of water. Thanks for the great info. Great White Shark looks great...

So far I've just been growing in Coco using Dutch Master Gold A + B Grow / Flower with some extra CalMag thrown in for good measure. I'm looking for something a little extra to utilize this season in terms of nutrients. What other products would you deem essential for your grows besides the...

It's hard to tell from the light, but some of the leaves look like they're a very dark shade of green, burns on the tips and under cupping of the leaf which is a sign of over fertilization.

Purple stems generally means the pH isn't correct. I've noticed watering seedlings that if the pH isn't within the 5.6-6.2 ( rockwool / coco ) the stems will take on a shade of purple.

Thanks for the reply guys. I played it safe with the DMG at first but after a feeding of 400PPM they were still looking hungry with light green / yellowing leaves. Since I've stepped up the nutes to between 500-700PPM they've exploded in growth. I'll roll back the nutes over the next few...

Hey guys, I recently added a small oscillating fan to my grow room and I've noticed some leaf curling. The fan is about a meter and a half away from the plants on a very low fan speed - just enough to get them shimmying. I also noticed some yellow streaking on my Northern Lights plant which I...

Ah man that's great to hear! I was disappointed with the stank factor of my last grow and was definitely looking for a strain that would put my carbon filter to work. :D How tall did the plant get after you flipped her over to flowering? Was height much of an issue? Any reason why you'd prefer...
