@420SA - I am growing in soil and perlite, the Ph was much lower, but I brought it up with the flush yesterday to 7.0 to see if that will not help - the plant I had most problems with was sitting around 6.0 - 6.3 until now - what I did see was the more I flushed the higher the Ph got, even though the water was sitting at around 6.7, the Ph went all the way to 7.2, so I don't know if I should flush more until it comes down to the exact Ph number that I am flushing with

@420SA - I have lost some leaves over the 3 weeks - I use the FloraCoco Grow and FloraCoco Bloom products (think it is from GHE) - what can I add to supplement? I flushed the plants last night - got the EC down to 0.9 and PH is high at 7.0 - 7.1, but it was sitting much lower 6.3 - 6.5, so i want to see what happens when I feed next

@Smelly Joe I just messed around with topping, scrogging and some other stuff, because like I said it is not proper genetics and I actually just wanted to see if I could get the plants to grow and flower and learn at the same time - although I must say I wouldn’t mind to take a clone of my Indica, that plant just looks awesome and fat - I even split her stem in half at the knuckle where it was topped and “fixed” it with duct tape - worked like a charm and so I learned something

@Smelly Joe - I am pretty much on that train as well and defoliated a lot, but with the 2 SCROG nets up it is very difficult to get into all the spaces (small 4 x 4 tent) and I cannot remove the nets as the plants have grown “into” them - this is my first grow as mentioned and I just used seeds that I had in a jar - turned out 2 of them are proper sativa and now I am running out of space - the 3rd plant is a nice fat indica and I am super stoked with the way it is turning out. Planning on doing some Gorilla Glue Autos on my next run

@Smelly Joe - I have done some defoliation, but keeping it to a minimum now that the plants are in flower - was wondering though if I shouldn’t remove some more leaves and maybe low bud sites

@Smelly Joe - thanks for the help, my canopy is pretty "dense", so it does make sense, since those leaves get very little light - will keep an eye out though

@Smelly Joe - it is at the bottom of the plants, the top growth looks fine to my untrained eyes

My plants have gone into flower (week 3 now) and I noticed that on two of my plants (both Sativa's) the lower leaves started yellowing, then curling up and falling off - I think it is a "K" deficiency, nut this is my first grow and I would like some help. I have flushed all the plants tonight and will keep you posted. The last couple of photos is just showing my plants in general - other than this mishap, I am very happy with the overall results

@AcidAlice - thanks for the help, I will most probably do some low stress training, but not a lot more

I currently have a 4 x 4 tent with a Mars1600 LED in - how many Auto's would fit into this size tent with the currently light?

This is what my growth look like thus far

@Dank - they are not 12/12 yet - maybe another 2-3 weeks, like I said this is my first grow, so I am not exactly sure what to look for and on the other hand super nervous to mess up my females with some horny males

These are two different plants - I hope this helps. I am not exactly sure as this is my first grow, so I am going on what I think I know - but the help is much appreciated.

Hi guys and gals Just want to make sure that my sex n is correct before I pull this plant - is this a male?

Bush Soil is basically the soil that one will buy at a nursery - I stick my finger into the soil, but I suspect that because the soil is well aired it may get dry before the jiffy pellet which holds the water a lot better - hence the soil feels dry even though it may be very wet close to the plant where it is in the Jiffy

Hi I am busy with my first indoor grow and I germinated 4 seeds in Jiffy Pellets, they grew well and I transplanted them with the Jiffy Pellets into a soil mix (bush soil, Perlite & Coco Coir) - I noticed that the leaves started sagging, I felt the soil and it was dry, so I watered only 2 of the plants (it looked like they were over watered to begin with, but because of the dry soil I decided to water 2 in any case) - now the 2 that I watered are sagging even more - see photos. My question is, could it be that the Jiffy Pellets hold water so well, that the soil dry out, but that there is still too much water in the pellet and thus start drowning the roots - OR is it something completely different?
