I learned a very good lesson this last week, I wish I could have learned it in a easier way but better now than later. My problem was my ph was way off. Before My ph was floating around 6.8-7.2 and I was satisfied with that. When I started adding Earth Juice Grow however, my ph plummeted! I would never have figured out the problem if I hadnt read an artical on nationalcannagraphic.com with a detailed post regaurding plant ailments and the author of the article was also a Earth Juice user and shared his experience with it vs affect on ph. Very Pleased about this.
Plants are getting larger. Believe it or not both plants are almost the same height now but still are very bushy.
They have been in better shape though. The Shorter plant has some rusting + burnt tips do to the ph lockup and the taller is showing a magnesium deficiency also from the same cause. I know the effected areas will not recover but I really hope that they will not spread from here on out.
I plan on beggining flowering phase this weekend. I will start 36 hours of darkness on friday night and change out bulbs sometime sunday. I am excited to see what happens over next few weeks.
The Char-broiled child has survived! Yep the Youngin survived the scorchin of a life time and is doing well. It seems uneffected by the ph issues the others were experiencing and it is in its own grow area atm. I cut all the damaged organic matter off the plant and in the process decided to top it (new growth was damaged by bulb). It is growing wide and is in excellent health.
