That’s too funny… thanks for the laugh guys @merlin44 it’s funny how curious people become of weed even when they don’t smoke it.
I was getting the pre mature yellowing when I was growing in COMSB also. My pH would rise also towards mid flower. This is why I switched to Promix but it sounds like you got it figured out. Careful of the pH in COM because as everything starts breaking down in the soil it wreaked havoc on my plants. It had a lot to do with my inexperience and ignorance though.
Those are the ones I use. ACInfinity makes great stuff. I have 2 of those each. I use both humidifiers but I have a spare 69 pro controller and 8"fan&filter with a spare 4x4 gorilla grow tent and HLG lights on ice in my basement. I could set up a 2nd grow space but that would be heavy power consumption.
The darker plant in the above post was harvested Thanksgiving day. Dried at 2 oz. In the Grove bag and stabilized at 61% RH. Will give it a try Christmas.
Today is the start of week 11 in flower for this mystery plant. Moved her over under the 300 Rspec to finish up so I could start a couple more in the bigger side. Trichs are mostly cloudy but there are still a lot of white pistols. Proverbial 2-weeks left.
My experiment with cloning a tomato plant worked! I have 5 baby tomatoes. I don’t know if they are the Cherokee Purple or the Sunrise cherry toms. The 2 Littles are the FB420 mystery seeds. $25 for 10 seeds… I couldn’t pass it up. I added a Tangie Auto to the mix as well so I know I have a sativa dominant hybrid.
Interesting on the tomato plant. I cloned a cat nip plant 2 years ago and it’s my best one so far. It comes back healthy every year.
pH your water don’t matter if it’s filtered
Because if there’s no PPMs there’s nothing to hold the pH and it will just conform to the pH of the medium. Right?
Weekly update.
The mystery bush just started Week 12 in flower. She’s almost there. I like her tric color but could use a bit more. Going to the beach this weekend. I’ll scope her Monday, see if I like the trics. Otherwise, I’ll wait until this time next week for the chop.

The 2 newbies are starting week 4 from groundbreaking. Week 2 of veg. ?? The Tangie popped and so far is doing well. Need to get my spray bottle back from my baker son to spray the humidity dome. We’ll see her potential on April Fools Day.
And I have some maters!
The mystery bush is monstrous!
@anon34311147 Ya she’s thick alright. It’s going to be interesting to see her dry weight.
That is a cool little set up … You can really focus better on one plant…
That’s a nice haul! Hey, why are all the branches purple? I get purple streaks sometimes and red leave stems but never that severe.
I pulled this from another post. @anon34311147
Thanks @dbrn32 and Merry Christmas to Everyone!
I figured it was genetics or nutrient toxicity or lighting does that too. Yup … but the buds are still really good?!.. That’s cool. I’m experimenting with UVA lighting and I am seeing a magenta\maroon tan on the leaves and stems. I did burn up one plant though. It seemed to reject the UVA light. The canopy leaves, any part of a lower leaf would get dark purple then go all crispy and brown. This was my first run with UVA. I can say there’s a marked improvement. Better terpense and resin. The other 3 loved the UVA. The strain that didn’t deal with it is Sweet Island Skunk for future reference.
I gotta read that again tomorrow @anon34311147. UVA light, don’t look at it is my best advice. I ran that one under uva from 2 weeks in flower to finish. Minus 1 week in the drying side. Which by the way;
I stood there for what seemed like 30 minutes but probably 3 just listening to the fans kick on and off.
chill
I love this hobby!
This week’s update: not much. It’s day 42 from sprout and starting week 2 of flower for the Mystery Girls. I bent them over and stretched them out. It’s been PH water with 2 doses of 5ml CalMag, 5 ml of silica, & 2 TBSP molasses at weeks 3 and 5. I added 1/2 c COM B&B, at the first sign of flower last week. Light is at 700-750 PPFD
The little Tangie is about 3 weeks in - Lite PH water. The light on the floor is 400-450.
Only 700-750 PPFD!? I tried that once and ended up with very tiny buttons after 2 weeks so I cranked it up to 1000 but still it turned out to be a bad harvest for me. I had a good light too, the HLG Rspec 700 FR in a 4x4 tent with 4 plants.
