Why did you flush? How are you measuring the soil pH?

It will rise as it dries. Chasing soil ph is usually the fast track to trouble (keeping the soil to wet as you try to raise it).

That's what you said before. You had a dozen people telling you you were killing your plant with kindness, and to just sit back and let it grow. I'm surprised you didn't talk about it in that thread before *flushing* (considering all the support you received there).

Whatever happens it will be a learning experience. It will be good that way.

Looks hungry. BTW - with my home made soil on day 24 veg my PPMs were so high they didn't register on the meter. The meter goes to 1999.

What PPM is your base water? (old stoner, I forget) What was the pH of the water your put in the pot that came out in the 5s?

I didn't have anything more to add? It appeared to me you were creating your own problem by focusing on new leaves that are V shaped (normal), etc. Would it have mattered if I kept saying "it looks good, you transplanted into too large a container, let it grow?"

Papillion is right. That plant is just now getting to the point where it should be going into that pot. It was a little slow going while the roots developed. Now that the roots are getting developed you need to feed it in the right ratios and she should grow like crazy.


Edit: My bad, Louis is right!!!
