Not 100% sure what is causing this discoloration

It has to be a bot, @DREGER does

You can write little programs to automate a web browser and make a fake user that likes everybody’s shit, or whatever based on a set of rules that you get to define. The script kiddies are into building bots these days, little weirdos.

I snooped on @DREGER in the introduce yourself thread.
Seemed human enough to me. Lots of positivity, and appropriate answers. Even humour. But you never, never know. :mrgreen:
I like to think he/she is a person though.
Lol, whatever @DREGER is we need more of you.

I've tried cloning her twice now. This last time with an aerocloner. No roots after two weeks. Kinda sucks I have zero experience cloning, never needed to before or even bothered with breeding before this run.

I do have some Blue Mystic pollen I can use to get an F1 and experiment a bit, buuut we'll have to see how that works out. If nothing else I will I look into re-vegging. It'd be nice to get some pure-blood seeds going on with a second go-round. Would not be opposed to sharing if that comes to fruition. You've got to be, like, the fourth or fifth person to ask me about her.

So I couldn't get the soil pH probes working so I watered with balanced distilled and measured the runoff to see what stays in the soil vs comes out.

The pH was being dropped as it flowed through meaning it was leaving the soil too high. Ran about 3/4 of a gallon of low pH'd water through the soil and by today she is returning to normal. I am attaching a before and after pic.

Turned into this: 20180417_173957.jpg

The rest of the plant is pretty much back to being all-the-way green.

Great news.
If your ph is coming out lower than what's going in. Means the medium has a low ph, no?

Did you try mixing a soil sample with distilled water. Then testing that way?
I was taught to use a 1:5 ratio. Soil:water. Measure the ratio by weight. Test with your digital pen.
Did you test the ph, of your distilled water? It should be at 7. Though strange things can happen.

Great outcome, either way!!

I was thinking it meant the elements raising the pH initially were being dragged out in the soil, leaving the soil high and the runoff low.

Tried it, my pen was going all over the place though so I switched to measuring runoff instead.

It was somewhere around 6.8, I adjusted it to 7.0 though and let it settle again before using.


Glad she's doing well, I was getting worried about the branch from the picture as the leaves were actually starting to turn white and feel like wax, somewhat translucent even.

Pretty sure you'll find that's why measuring the waste / runoff in soil is inaccurate. Because dissolved organics like manures, sulphur etc, can mess with the readings. Even those $10 ph stakes from the local hardware will be a lot more reliable than your runoff.
In my own experience, not speaking for others, but I've found the runoff in soil, only to be reliable, when the plant is healthy, and you just want to make sure the ph isn't swinging, or changing. When you have lockout etc, you really do need an accurate read.


But either way OP. It's fantastic news. Whatever you've done the plant loved you for it.
Great result dude!
