Here's my situation.
I'm in 18 days in 12/12[this is my indoor]
PH is my soil is just too high and is causing yellowing and lockout of nutes.

a few days ago, I had four plants on 12.12 from seed. I decided that I, because of this is my first grow, wanted to put two outside.

They all have PH problems and im trying to fix them on a budget, in different ways.Ph was 7.1 to .3 on all of them.

#1[indoors] I haven't touched, its the most bushy[see pix] I want to actually fix this one so im waiting for it to dry out completely, then feeding it PH'd nute'd water.
#2[outdoors] I wanted to see if it wasn't a ph problem and they just needed nutes. I gave it nutes at 1/2 str. and put it outside. Today was it's first day and it has EXPLODED with growth. Tho, yellowing hasn't dropped a bit.and PH stablized at 6.8
#3[out] I tried lowering with Lemon juice. FUCKEd it up lol, now its very yellow in some prefixed[baked] PH'd soil[transplanted ph is now 6.5 or so] and tomorrow we'll see if there is any improvement.
#4, indoors I nuted it today, to see if it helps growth as both are stunted.


So, did the #2 get lower PH from nutes? Will it stay stable if i use PHed water all the time? and does any one suggest i do anything else? PH down, i used lemons that one day because i didnt buy any yet.
Will the yellow leaves regain their beauty, ever again? Should I worry if they are dying?

Due to stunted growth and an all around bad expeirence with 12/12 from seed with this strain, im 18 days into it and I want to so badly veg[24hrs] these beauties for 3 weeks or more! LST, and Fim them! or was it topping..to get two shoots instead of one. Have they developed photocells to induce flowering? Or did stunting hold that off? Is it safe to start veg again for another 18 to 21 days?

And lastly, was it a bad idea to bake the soil to lower the PH, and transplant? should I do that to my #1?


The first set of pix are my indoors. the second set is outdoors and the big pot is the one recently transplanted. there is a beer and potatoes in there because to say I have pest problems would be an understatement.
I'm looking for input, and helpful tips =]

thanks in advanced :weed:

Looks like you have some things mixed up. Your PH is fine at 7 in soil. In hydro you want it a bit lower like 6.3-6.5 ish. If your using tap water you should let it sit out for a day before using it to let the chlorine evaperorate out. Dont pother PH testing you water before you add ferts it will change with them so you want to adjust after you have added all your ferts to the PPM you want. You left out some info as well. What soil are you using. What PPM are you giving the plants? Also at the age they are you wont have the best results in flowering. Dont get me wrong you will get something just not the plants full potential. If you want I would veg them till you have enough growth to take some cuttings. Dont forget to label them all so you can tell what came from what. Once the cuttings root put the donor plants into 12hr. They will start to flower so then determine the sex. Remove the males and dont forget the cuttings. Let the donors flower out and pick the one you like best and take some cuttings from the cuttings of that plant you took say 60 days ago. This is why its important to label everything. Root those cuttings and flower out all the others. The 2ed round will be much better as the plants have had the time they need to really mature in the veg stage. Plants need about 3 months of veg to really produce. so the cuttings you took have been growing for 60 days plus the time the donor plant had been growing say 30 that gives you the 3 months you need. So you can see you only have to do this when growing from seed. The cuttings are as old as the plant they came from.
Hope this helps

Lemon juice is Acidic! That will increse your ph.... Try using distilled water from Kroger. That is a cheap Low ph water like 5.5 might help level out your PH.
