Lesson learned. Thanks guys. So just to be clear, if I take a Ph reading of my nute solution and water mixed together -- its ph should be between... like 6.5 - 7.5?

Thanks for the quick response painkiller -- can i ask a dumb question though? how do i accurately take a ph measure of soil? just like take some in a small container with a little bit of like distilled water in there and stick a digital pen in there? or just right into the soil? sorry...

@ pain killer -- I figured getting this technaflora 'recipe for success kit' i would have my macro/micro nutes covered pretty well -- I fear placing galvanized nails in my water -- seems like that may make things worse, this is a known solution for iron or sulfur deficiency?? I want to check...

I originally suspected N as my culprit, but the continued progression into the new leaves (at 4+ weeks into flower) suggests otherwise, thus i thought possibly Mg?? ... not to mention the increasing severerity of the symptoms made me worry (i wasnt concerned if it was just a N deficiency in...

ya i have gotten those cheap ph testers and there awful -- totally useless. and ya i am thinking of getting a ph kit and this 'cal mag+' you were speaking of...

I was thinking it might have been ph, im using technaflora, its recipe says its ph is 6.02 at 1 gallon flower solution but i am suprised that just comes on so quickly after looking fine for the grow... i am using some 'quality' soil i got at a local hydroponics store, from the advice of a...

If you do have the same problem as me, then youre in for a shitty road ahead... It is probably giong to be a plant killer if i dont get this resolved soon... my research tends to suggest a Mg deficiency -- I origianlly thought N deficiency as many people suggested (and that may be the case for...

Details: I can post pictures here shortly, but I just want some opinions of what seems more likely of my problem... its gradually gotten from bad to worse over past 2 weeks or so. I flushed em good, problem continued. Recently, I toned down nutrients to about 3/4 strength or so of what they...

I repotted yesterday into larger pots, and today I gave them their first batch of Veg Nutes from the TechnaFlora starter kit -- I started with 1/2 strength. I also foliar fed them with a 1/6 or so strength blend, anyone have an opinion on this?? Should I be foliar feeding with these nutes?? It...

Cloaks -- just to be clear, pic 1 = fim, 2 = topping, and 3 = whatever -- now i know on our previous works together, we had topped/fimmed, to great success. when did we start such processes? i am just looking at my babies now, and their sitting all around 8 inches, i think i may let them go...

Cloaks, I am quite impressed with ur lot -- very excellent. They all look good, especially considering the hell they have gone through with nutes. I wanna speak with you further because I need to brush up on my "topping & fimming" -- I have not done either with my current babies. I really...

Thanks a lot cocakola -- do you think I should pre-treat the soil with a nute solution?? Appreciate your help.

Okay, so I just purchased this "Recipe for Success Kit" and I am already a 4 weeks at least since cloning, and about 2 weeks since they rooted -- they look great, each about 9 inches if not taller. I have them running 24/7 under a 400 W HPS -- in high quality soil pots -- the question I have is...

Thank you warlock! I think I will try that. I need to get a small digital humidity meter / thermometer for my grow room --

and im currently running a 400 watt hps with 6 babies in it- -
