My first real grow

As we've communicated elsewhere, I think you diagnosed and corrected your problem. Reading back thru your journal all I can say is ... wow, that's a lot of stuff you're adding, and it gels up with your falling pH, high PPM, and drooping leaves. And most Haze's have very strong sativa genes -- sativas are typically less nutrient demanding, and like lower PPMS than indicas. Your Purple looks like an indica-dominant, BTW..

It sounds like you now have your pH and PPM back to where they should be for your plants' stage. I'm really not an expert on all these additives and nutes, but I do think there's a lot of "voodoo" that gets sold to growers (and super-experienced growers will back me up on this). It sounds like you're in a good soil mix -- there shouldn't be any significant additional "needs" in there, if any. I'd be willing to wager that you can ride right to the end with nothing but water from here. A little calcium carbonate mixed into your top inch of soil would be the ONLY thing I would do -- all this will do is help keep your pH where it is at now by picking up soil acids that are a natural product of the degradation of wood material (which commercial potting soils are LOADED with -- that's why they can drop pH so easily).

If it were me, I'd stick to plain water at least for a couple of weeks and just watch the response. They certainly aren't going to fade or crop up a deficiency in that short of time, and keeping it super-simple will allow you to see clearly if your plants are back on a good path. Adding stuff back in at this point complicates the picture -- if your problems do persist, you won't be able to figure out what is causing what.

A lot of pro's don't add anything unless they actually see a deficiency forming...

I've spent a lot of time looking at people's plant troubles here and on ICMAG. A consistent theme is that people are overdoing things -- too much of everything. MJ is a WEED.. which means its a plant that grows in tough places under tough conditions. And Haze's have more of this "tough mofo" in them than inbred indica hybrids. MJ doesn't necessarily like all the babysitting we are so fond of. I learned this the hard way, and we all seem to have to go thru it personally.

All in all, your plants look GREAT. If your containers are 9L.. that's over 2 gallons.. you shouldn't even need to transplant. They should recover very nicely. Peace...

Need opinion if I did the right thing, I called a friend that knows how to grow and I told him what happened with my plants and about the Super Silver Haze, that she hasn't showed sex yet. He told me to trow away the 4 plants with seeds and SHOWER the super silver haze, to get whatever pollen that might be on the leaves, before she starts shooting out her little hairs, and also to clean the entire tent. So I did that. Sucks that I had to trow away the plants, specially the Strawberry Haze, I promised this girl I would have her some strawberry buds, you know how girls love strawberries. She looked so beautiful, I almost cried when I found seeds on her, I broke my bedroom door with my head, I got pissed, them smoke a blunt and calmed down.
Good news is that I cut down the UNKNOWN PURPLE, didn't see no purple on the buds, wet weight was 148.7, still drying in my closet.
