don't PH your water. Do you know what your soil PH is.... No., so why PH something you don't know ?
The leaf issue is a calcium-mag issue that will happen in early flower so add some Epsom salt when feeding. I would probably give them some plain water with Epsom salt to start with. 1 tsp/ga . Maxsea all so needs to be supplemented with Epsom salt.
There is a P deff in the plant with purple leaf stems .

grow looks good. might of seen some mite signs, maybe not. watch out for caterpillars.

happy growing
Hey TWS thanks for the reply. Sorry I forgot to mention I do add Epsom salt but maybe not enough. I'll do what you suggested and see how it goes

whys your pic look as old as double jj's log cabin pic ?
lol, thanks for the advice. The pics look that way because I took them under my 1000 watt hps. The dang thing is so bright it blacks out the camera with weird black vertical stripes and makes it look all orange. Hard as check to even get a decent pic of them. But... you know your stuff that's for sure. It wasn't mites though. It was thrips and fungus gnats. I've been waging Armageddon on those little suckers. At least I hope there aren't mites too!! lol. Got email under control about a week ago though. Tobacco and chili powder boiled for six minutes with some dawn dish soap added afterwards. Works great. Then I made covers for my pots. So it's much better now. I'm surprised you spotted that... along with the P Def. I have some other questions if I may ask you sometime. I believe I could trust what you have to say. I'm not new to growing but I am in hydro. Germinated my first plant at 16 under my bed with a spotlight I found in the basement. lol Been Dabbling off and on ever since. lol.

just those 2 for 1 K ? your gonna go broke before smoke. lol
I started with just those two but with the plan in mind to increase the numbers with each cycle. So I'm moving seven into flower after these two are done. Five hydro and two soil. Then after that I have 20 baby clones all going in hydro. So... That's the plan anyway. I'm doing some nice Indica I think is Kush and gsm.

the quote was for north east Marco.
Try taking pictures thru your sunglasses. It will cut the HPS. The black lines are the camera catching the flickering of a magnetic ballast.

Sometimes/most times what are thought to be fungus gnats are root aphids and much much worst. Fungus gnats are easy to get rid of and easy to find their Larva. Root aphids are neither.

How could I tell the difference? The little things are tiny and hard to even see. But I had lots of stippling and their little black dots of feces on some back leaves. Looked like someone overstayed the leaves with spray paint. But I swear that them attacking that insignificant lower bud helped the plant bud harder. It's buds are more frosty and more full than the other plants. And they weren't until that lower bud was attacked.

The stippling and black dots of feces under some lower leaves made me think it was thrips.

you do know you are in the outdoor forum right ?

search in the pest forum root aphids vs fungus gnats or google your browser. Sorry, to tired to go into that one.

Thanks, yeah... Sorry about that. I realised your comment was for him after I posted. But, It's show and tell which is what I sorta started off doing and got side tracked. lol. I moved some plants outside today for some sun... does that count?
