Week 7 day 2. This train wreck changes colors most of the time, but not always. Temp and humidity is constant. (ON 72-76) (OFF 70-73) 45%-55%. I am curious if acidity plays any part in colors

incorrect ph will lead to deficiency, deficiency or abundance can lead to leaf colour change. Have you got a scope? Check the trich's, what colour are they?

i agree ph should be set to what your trying to get the plant to take up easy when you know how

That makes sense. Thankful for feedback. What draws you to the conclusion. Just experience, color, tops? It's a #7 pot, go to 15 or 20? Was intended to be a mother but things got tight and had to throw her in 12/12. Rock on thanks again.

I assumed the ph issue I've been having was the cause. I've got two others that are looking stressed also. But, they're on schedule and impossible to be root bound. - I'll gather my brain and get a photo or two later.

Just experience.
that's a big-girl for that pot.
My rule (for organics anyways) is 2 gallons of media per foot of growth (untrained).
That plant needs (needed) at least ten gals if not fifteen.
Just watch, next time, transplant about 20 days before flipping and give her some room, and i'd be willing to bet my wallet the plant will be much nicer, not that that one isn't, it just would be happier and better if it had a lil more room.
if you are growing hydro, you may want to ask for someone else's advice, I grow organically and can only offer my experience on that.
One thing I know, is typically PH problems manifest themselves slowly, but it all depends on what you put them in.
Obviously if you throw them in a mix that is acidic with drainage issues and it'll get pissed at you fairly quick.

I also highly HIGHLY recommend utilizing your fishtanks water to feed your plants.
I did that for over 15 yrs and it's the best thing for your plants.
Especially if you have a biowheel for your filter.
Do a 10% water change every ten days. Vacuum the fishturds out of the gravel and it's pure gold for your plants.
Err, assuming that's a fresh water tank, looks like it is.
I see a goldfish or perhaps a golden gourami in there..

Fantastic! Thanks. Look forward to hashing things out. Cannabis growing is new to me. I've only ever practiced organic methods. Grew up on a dairy farm scraping stalls slinging shit stacking hay. Bottled methods are foreign to me. Also into vegetable gardening 22'x32'. Looks like I'll have lots of fun on this site.

Bigger planter and some more chapters to read.... Waiting for acidic soil piles to rise. Appied some mushroom smelling delicious tea yesterday.

Thank you
