Hey me again just looking for some input on how I’m doing, and if there is anything I should be doing I took a reading today and it’s saying I’m about 7.5 towards alkaline just wondering what the best fix for that movie should I get a pH kit?
See they perked up, thats pretty basic or alkaline, whatever term. You may want to purchase some ph buffing stuff, ph up and ph down and yeah get a tester. For a quick fix you could try just muxing in a cup of black coffee when you mix up your water, coffee usually has a ph of around 5.5 i believe, just slightly acidic, and your plants will love it. I use grounds in my dirt sometimes. If you drink coffee, if not a little lemon or lime juice but seriously not much, like a tsp. Also you can boil and soak banana peels and give the water to your plants, basically a potassium and magnesium boost but slight and natural has less chance of nute burn and stuff from my experience.
@Phatsax420 : First off, WELCOME TO THE GANG!!!
Now about your plant, she looks
Very nice, Fox Farms very cool !
it looks like nutrient burn to me
By looking at her sugar leaf’s, I would look into how much nutrients your giving her, at this point if the plant was mine I would use sterilized scissors and snip the dying sugar leaf’s OFF !
about one inch from the plant.
I have successfully done this with
My plants, a little trimming once
In awhile is needed time to time.

I really appreciate you getting back to me and all the input you’ve been giving me, when you say a cup of coffee I have one of my plans in a 5 gallon bucket and then the other ones in a smaller bucket now how much exactly do you think I should give each pot because I’m still not having it down pat with exactly how much water to give them I got a cheap moisture, light and pH tester from timu I know it’s probably not the most accurate but what’s your recommendation on the watering but with the coffee the one time?
So it would depend on different things but like i said i would mix 1 cup of coffee with 1 gallon of water then give around 300 ml, i usually water them lightly for a second and let that soak in, then give them a good 2 or 3 second drink, that should lower your ph from 7.5 to around 6.5 to 6.8. Different strains like different soil but generally speaking weed likes a ph from 6.2 to 6.8
Ps im not a snob, ive gotten quite a few temu things in my garden 
that being said… yeah get a good water tester and a good soil tester, the temu stuff just isnt as reliable, or at least mine wasnt, id test the same bucket 5 times in a row and get 5 different levels each time, and not even close sometimes
Hey thanks for all the input, day 16 of flower plant on left, plant on right day 13 and both
looking pretty good

And I did that coffee trick it’s been about a week now do you see any difference cuz I feel like I noticed the big difference even the stem on my one in the white bucket got a lot fatter
And in that white bucket at the bottom center you’ll see another little plant growing I had nowhere else to put it in the El patron scene I had so I had no world to put it I know you shouldn’t grow too in the same pot but I had no choice so I don’t know what to do about that situation just keep letting it grow right?
No you didn’t ruin them, i would but you could always transplant, it will shock them but shouldn’t be a problem. Glad they liked the coffee. Looking way better!
Hey I topped n pruned you think I fucked them?? I’ll show you before first then 2nd is after
I hope you response won’t break my heart I just hope I didn’t over stress them cuz I was just reading how autoflowers you shouldn’t really do too much pruning cuz you know they got like mine at their own but then I just felt like there was too much down bottom and it said to get rid of them down bottom cuz it’ll pull the nutrients when the better stuff is at the top did I f*** them?
Shouldnt have and i get being impatient lol trust me they will be fine if you just dont even touch them for at least a month, i have autos and i trimmed and topped one and its doing great, just do it early and then just leave it. Water it maybe once a week or twice but at that size just dont overwater and you will be fine, they do better getting a little dry than being too soggy. Shouldnt even need any nutes for a while either if you used good dirt never a problem, really they look fine, great actually. Got that ph dialed in better and they look like they are developing well.
Yeah I’m sure you noticed how green my leaves are on both plans there’s no more yellowing no more Brown eating away at them so yeah I I did each time I water them I’ve been watering like every two days or so and I give them one and a quarter cups cuz that was what 300 ml equal to but I took a gallon picture and I mixed one and a quarter cup coffee like you said to a gallon of water so that’s what I’ve been watering them with I just made a new picture today cuz they seem to love it it was like ever since I’ve been given it to him they shot up like crazy and since the topping on that one in the white plant those two big family’s at the top I should just leave those?
Yup unless you want to transplant that one, if you do, do it this week and if not just let them grow, otherwise just keep doimg what youre doing and dont touch them until you have to, if they are growing too densely packed together, do a little tying to just pull them away from each other, if you need a better explanation of this let me know and ill send pics tomorrow, the girls are sleeping for the night 
Thank you man I really do appreciate all the help you and giving me I mean there hasn’t been much criticism even though I asked Lee’s criticize and let me know cuz I want to do this the right way but I do appreciate all the help you can give me yeah I was thinking of getting that one transplanted this week I’m just trying to find something my neighbor has a flower pot that I think I can ask her for so that was my only thing he was getting a home for it but yeah I think I’m going to take it out this week it’s doing fairly well
Ill be honest with ya, if you deserve criticism ill give it but really everyone starts sometime somewhere. Some forget lol but the best teacher is trial and sometimes error, i can read and watch videos and learn “theory” but at the end of the day i can only use what i can do right then, just keep them green and happy and regardless of the outcome its always a learning experience and it should be fun, it is for me anyway
Word up I feel like I’m learning every single day and I’m constantly reading all different literatures and and I never just get one narrow mindset but when I germinate my nuts before I germinate my next batch I’m going to make sure I have all the correct soil compounds that for monkey laying the coconut coirs clay pebbles and all that other stuff they call for
Bro I don’t need really talk or anything right now I got to start per person like eh products like I told you I want to purchase all the rate so you’ll types and stuff like that the vermoculate or some two other things I had written down the promise the pearlite it says that vermiculite helps drainage but not too coarse on Clay pebbles and then I was looking into some like ocean Forest potting soil by Fox farm or do you recommend any specific soil??
