Strain: White Widow Fem, from ILGM

Soil in pots, Hydroponic, or Coco? Peat Moss Soil mixed with red clay soil

System type? N/A

PH of runoff or solution in reservoir? 7.7 right now, used to be 6.5 three days ago, this thing keep on fluctuating

What is strength of nutrient mix? I dont have a TDS meter but I’m using a regular 20/20/20 nuts

Indoor or Outdoor: Indoor

Light system, size? One plant Two CFL lights one blue spectrum and one red around 300watts collectively.

Temps; Day, Night, temps day 22C, night 15C

Humidity; I don’t have a meter but I would say ranges between 35%-50% during day and night

Ventilation system; No

AC, Humidifier, De-humidifier, No

Co2; No

OK that’s good. I think you should include the brand name of your nutrients and what you are using for soil.

Alright Bob. attached is the nuts package.

OK I don’t see any of the guys on the form here but I’m sure they’re lurking
:sunglasses:

Thanks for your help anyway Bob. I think the issue is mainly a Ph issue. But not sure how to keep it always at the 6.0-6.5 range.

I don’t know where in the world you are but if there is chlorine in your water you need to let your water sit open for 48 hours to let it dissipate then adjust the pH. And adjust it every time you are going to water.

I’d go easy on the nutrients. Those numbers on that bag look high to me, but I’m a bit of a newbie myself.

Thanks @Nug-bug

Most of the time I’m using bottled water with 6.9 Ph and I add little lemon juice to lower it to ~5.5 I dont think bottled water does contain chlorine, but yes if I’m using tapped water thats what I should do to dissipate it.

Depends on where it’s bottled, I guess? I usually leave the cap off for 48 hours anyway but that’s just me. I know my tap water is heavily chlorinated and even running it through my filtration I still can taste it slightly so I just do that. When the weather warms up I’m going to start collecting rain water.

Also I think 5.5 pH. Is too low for soil

You are right, I think rain water is the best. I will have big bowl transplanted outside then, maybe it will rain soon here :slight_smile:

as the soil is at 7.7 i think 5.5 is good enough to bring it to 6.5

One more thing, I found the leaves to be quite small in compare to my previous clone growth of sour diesel and black jack, where leaves have been almost triple in size? also I think stems are very close to each other not lengthening enough. Just i thought to drop this question maybe there is someone that knows about this

Are you taking pH readings of your runoff water?

If your ph is off it affects everything bro maybe
@Majiktoker can help you get right bro
Good luck

Yes as I mentioned before Bob :slight_smile:

Less spacing is usually an excess of phosphorous. Post up readings of ph or run off I will be able to help you less spacing could also be due because not enough light

Thanks @Majiktoker, Yesterday’s Ph was 7.7 I know its quite high I will wait until the soil is a bit dry then rewater with 5.5Phed water (not sure whats the best ingredients for lowering Ph I’m used to vinegar and lemon juice, ). The plant is almost ~6 Inches ~17 cm in length, and with two CFL lights i think not enough light is not the case, but phosphorous I dont know anything about. But its mentioned in the nuts I’m using above, its 20% Phosphorus

Look into getting ph down from local flower shop or order some it will help out greatly, to me sounds like your problem is definitely ph, but what im getting out of it is there is a toxic build up causing your soil to be more alkaline, which the toxic build up is causing your ph problem.

When you water with a 5.5 ph your going to wanna take a reading to see how your medium is reacting either raising or lowering ph, also what is your medium soil id presume with a 7.7 ph?

Thats a good conclusion about the toxic build up @Majiktoker

Not really getting the question here.

I was asking if your growing in soil, if so you ph should come down to 6.6 and by seeing how your medium reacts Ill be honest not sure what it means when your ph raises, I think that’s a sign of a toxic build up
