Hey Ya'll....this is my first post on RIU, and ironiclly I'm to high and don't like it. And I'm in neeeeed my fellow patrons.

This is my first attemp at ever havin a green thumb, first droplet in my sea of green if you will. I'm 9 weeks into my fatherhood and as everything has worked out golden. Has had dark green leaves with reddish green strong stems through out its viogours life (fyi- reddish stems are a strain trait. Not a Phos deficiency). Never heat damaged, ventilated well, perfectly nuted (soil tester "a newbie savior" ya'll). I do have a small grow area 2.5'-3'-3' LWH. Stealth is a must. Using CFLs (with reflectors) equal dispersion of 5000k and 3000k. Since my area is small my lightings LUX is 58,300. Lights on 24 hrs. Therefore my 9 weeker (sex undetemined) is bearly 10" tall. Bushier than a Mother Fucker too :-) topped once and has helllllla nodes growing. Going to induce flowering soon, so my plant can have the 2 other feet to grow tall as much as needed. Should I do that? Should I let it veg some more before flowering? 3 foot tall space, plant is 10" tall currently and 9 weeks old. Now that the Doctors know the history, here's my real problem and question. :-)

My PH is too high and I'm showing of a zinc deficiency. What can I use for soil being used to lower PH??? I can't mix sulfur with the soil right??? So I've read that mixing vinager with yer water will lower PH. Does that work?? Healthy for plant? How much to use? How soon are results?

I've also heard of pissin on yer plant will help. Well, just in the water really. If that will help, how much do I mix with water?? Is yellow/orange piss more acidic than clear piss??? I'm gunna get some "real" solutions to correct PH, but at this time I have no other choice but to McGyver it. Haha.
Well anywho guys and gals. What can I do??? Any help is needed and appreciated.

What can I use for quickest fix of PH prob?

Keep Blazin and Praisin

Thank You,

Docs right, be prepared for that plant to double or even triple in size. I would start 12/12 now.

DocDoom,

Thanks bro!! I havnt ever heard/read of that. :-) I love learning. Haha. I read on couple sites that one once of distilled vinager per gal of water will do a good job at lowering PH. I used half strength.... I hope it works. Thanks again for the advice :-)

PS the water I used and always use is purified filtered water with a PH of 7.
