How many weeeks will it take a plant to start budding? My bf is growing three plants for the first time and Im trying to be helpful. ( : But I don't know much about growing.
 
About 2 to three months once you switch your light hours from lets say 24 hours to 12 hours on 12 hours, off.

I have to run to the store I will be back in 30 minutes, and I will answer every one's questions...

How do you repair low pH in soil?

Everything was fine until I used some new nutes and didn't measure it before I used it like an idiot. Fox farms soil, backyard dirt and miracle grow organic choice. There is no lime in the soil mix.

I got some pH up and down from the pet store and adjusted tap water to @7.0 and gave 1/2 gal per 5 gal buckets yesterday but it is still registering 5.0 inside the soil.

Should I flush this more? Use more water when I flush than 1/2 gallon? Is there any chance of root rot by doing this ? Temp is @80 continuously and 50-60% RH. It is showing serious signs of lockout especially Phosphorus. These are in the vegetative state, 2nd month.

Thanks for anybody who knows the answer.
 
I think you still have a month, and you vegged for 75 days? that should be 6 feet tall what happend? I vegged for 1 week I have plants that are 4 feet tall..

I gave you rep for your pics thanks man...

Almost everyone's first couple of runs, chop too early.

I think that bud will keep getting bigger wait a month and feed at 1/4 fuck the nute burn, it's ok believe me...then flush the fifth week..


LET me make IT VERY CLEAR just because you have been told it takes 70 days wait 90. The pictures I posted of buds are cut way to early because I can I have plenty of bud... I like weed at the clear, foogy,amber and past dead to almost rottin.

iv been flushing about a week now, shes 3 weeks to harvest and the problem i mentioned, should i keep flushing or give some nutes for the next watering or 2 and then flush again (i water every 3 days)
temps are 75-85F
 
Plus rep good question....

Ok water's PH will change over night...
I will ph my water in my res and set it at6.2 and by the next night it will be 8+ again I was using apple cider vingear< but I thought adding vingear every night couldn't be good. So I keep my res tank clean with nothing in it and only water with PH'd water..But thats probably from me using meduim grade soft tap water...

You need to test you water run off.. thats what comes out of the bottom thats all that matters if it's really low then raise the ph of your water, but don't let your plant's sit in acidic water for to long...
Low is ok, high is nute lock out...

just think about trying to keep it balanced..

This why we say no to newbies and hydro. much luv newbies...hehe

If runoff is still 5.0 should I continue to feed it 7.0 H2O or should I make it more alkaline to balance it? Thanks.
 
they make three way meters let me get you a link real quick... If money isn't a problem, you can get a fully automatic system that even page's your phone if someone breaks into your house.. And if your really rich then you can have it linked to a a gattling gun that would be cool....:o

my question is whats the best way to test soil ph and ec or ppm and is their a meter anyone can reccomend other than those cheapy ones thank you in advance.
 
well ive been told if its to high or too low it cause lock out, That just mean's that your plants are refusing to uptake the nute's...

5.5 is not horrible.. think about it real quick if that same water sit in your SOIL, over night by the next night your plants ph will be at 6.5 or higher... If you have one of those stick meters throw it away.. You need to test your run off... does that make sense?



pH BUFFER & TESTING SOLUTIONS
Adjusting and Testing

To maximize plant growth, the pH of your nutrients should be slightly acidic. Experienced growers consider the ideal pH for most crops to fall between 5.5 and 6.5. Users of General Hydroponics nutrient products generally do not experience problems maintaining the proper pH range because our formulas are pH buffered. However, some important exceptions do exist. Acid content can reach unacceptable levels when nutrient solutions are mixed with poor quality water, or when pH unstable media &#8211; such as rock wool or gravel products &#8211; are used, or when high plant growth rates destabilize the nutrient mix due to rapid nutrient absorption by the crop.


And I thought lockout occured in soils @ 5.5.....:confused:

My plant started with 5 leaves and now it has 3 leaves AND GREW THE SIZE OF MY HAND AT 1 MONTH , what type of plant do you think i have
 
sorry it took me so long you might have chopped by now... Well I gave you rep anyways..

But it really doesn't matter crystals matter...
But I let my best girls wait till their dry... it's not needed to let them go in 24 hours darkness...think about how this would be possible outdoors... But I don't think it would hurt... I always want my plants to uptake the last little bit... let dry....almost overdry to the point where the leaves are drooping... just suggestions... I hear about people going to 8 hours 16 off, but your girls put all the weight on on the last two real weeks.. I say give them all you got , Hell I would go 14 on to 10 off before the oppsite

Thanks again. Yes, if I give 2 gallon, 1.75 comes out. Very airy medium. Gotta chop tomorrow, another brood waitin in the other room to come on over else I might wait. Plus, trichs = mostly milky, some clear, few amber. Do I want to chop when the soil is dry or does it matter if it's wet? Was gonna give straight water tonight @ 2 gallons per. And, last question, and this is for anybody, do you give 24 hrs of darkness before chop? I can do this but need to know in the next few hours.....

Thanks again. You guys rock.
 
I love it bro....lmao.. I don't know maybe we need to conduct a study in san anglo, or brownsville, hell or ozona or south padre, where ever and maybe we should give our plants protein shakes...hehe

Hey bro check out the texas thread...

Plus rep for the texas, throwing up central... cleburne,waco, hillsboro,

Any Question?? OK, here's the question. Since recent studies have found that Aloe Vera regenerates damaged cell structure..... would it be safe to assume that such would help development of new, growing cells,... causing plant growth to become 25% or more.?
Ending result, near double the size of the plant?

they are getting close to 5 feet now, they where around 4.5ft a little over a week ago
ill keep flowering them as long as they need, dont wanna rush nature
ill check back with you with an update on how im doing

i wanted to ask, since im using a 250 watt hps and my plants are getting that tall should i be pruning off the botom growth or let those buds form?? the plants are from seed

I think you still have a month, and you vegged for 75 days? that should be 6 feet tall what happend? I vegged for 1 week I have plants that are 4 feet tall..
