Anyone ph their tap water as well as the rain they get so much of..??
My tap water is from a well so it can vary, usually the ph is around 7.4 but I have seen it at 6 and 8.
I haven't checked the ph of the rain the plants are now overwatered with.
Just discovered I have leaf spot disease, it's on most of the plants including the autos so waiting for first light to go spray with bordeaux mixture, hopefully I can get it under control as it's not too bad yey on most of them,one of the LSD's though could be in trouble.

Did you ph when growing in coco..?
I get it in a general range, anything between 5.6 and 6.0 is fine for me and never seen any deficiences (except cal). I've read journals of lads who grew in coco without ever checking PH and they seem to do ok. It's such a versatile medium I think it just takes whatever is thrown at it.

Had a cheese plant outside taking cuttings off her for the last few weeks, shes getting a bit short on cuttings left so I think she's going to be binned soon. Too many nosy neighbours around to be flowering outside. What have you got on the go yourself?

Hope your plants pull through fred!

Mdjenks: i think its because of the ph and nutelock maybe. My ph meter ran out of juice and i didnt bother buying new batteries. just been using a liquid ph indicator for the past while.

On a more serious note. (copied from my grow journal)

Absolute disaster folks :sad: Got an email from the landlord saying he is selling the house within the next few months and that from next week himself and the auctioneer will be calling down to inspect the house. Ive pushed that visit until the week after but im going to have to chop her down at some stage next week! she is 35 days of 12/12 today and needed at least 3 more weeks. My fucking pocket microscope hasnt arrived yet either and im just all flustered on what to do! I need it to be dry and jarred and all the equipment packed away into bin bags when they show up to avoid suspicion. I really think this growing game has not agreed with me at all :sad: Depression mode activated

Thanks Bro.... yeah the water farms going great... the tub holds 30 liters and is doing lovely this last week... shes drinking 2 liters a day with the ppm and ph steady, which i was having trouble with in a smaller bucket.... the blue dream has exploded in the last 5 days... looking like she's going to be my biggest yielder from soil so far...

No attic im afraid as its a 3 story house. Plus the landlord will be with him so im sure they will have a thorough inspection. Dont have a car so thats out of the question. plus nobody but me knows about this grow so at this time harvesting is all i can do :( Unless somebody wants to flwoer this for 3 more weeks for me :D im planning on chopping her down next friday and she will be at 42 days into 12/12. Dinafem state 55-65 days so its going to be a good 3 weeks early. My fucking microscope wont hurry along. should be here tuesday and il have a look at the trichomes and see what they say
