So I decided the problem was mites but never confirmed. Didn't matter because the problem plant when hermie so I yanked it. Don't have room for 4 plants anyway. Here they are at 7 weeks flower.
I suppose it's possible. I'm no expert. Broad mites don't fly and are so small they might never leave the one plant until they are touching as they get bigger. I'm forging ahead either way. Neem oil should be safe enough in veg and supposedly in flower though I don't plan to use it in flower.
Update time. After adjusting some things I think I've cleared up any nutrient or ph problems. But I'm convinced the real issue was indeed a mite infestation. Haven't been able to find the little fuckers even with magnification, but neem oil seems to have at least mitigated it somewhat. The...
So I transplanted today. On the one plant I didn't knock off the soil, but it looked healthy enough. No sign of root rot. On all of them the roots were at the bottom of the pot but by no means root bound. Here's hoping. Gonna get crowded soon.
Good luck my freind... i'm hoping i can save these and not habe to start over. Hah my first ones were in my attice duting winter and i had to use incandescent lamps to keep tje temps up enough.
So just to give you guys an idea of how it's gone in the past and to show how frustrated I am this time around....
Man, I just love good bud photos. :)
So yeah, going into 5 gal buckets this weekend. I'd do it sooner of possible. This soil is Fox Farms and I would have expected it to be perfect given that it's from Humboldt county. Hopefully it was the dry fert and new soil will help. Watered tonight and the runoff was below 6 even when I used...
Interesrting... <says Spock> in the past my soul tended to be high ph and I had to drop the water low, but the runoff ph was still high.
I'll try raising it a bit. But I do plan to transplant soon.
So first, thanks to everyone for your suggestions.
I probably should have posted this in the plant problems section.
I've done this several times now, the last 3 with my current setup. The one thing i changed this time was to use a dry fertilizer from fox farms instead of the general hydro...
