Where you buy the cmh lights?

I got them at grow guru, port Elizabeth. They deliver pretty much anywhere. Webshop is easy to use.

I was fortunate. A friend contributed

Will see what the ladies turn out like ...

So happy they doing so much better bud. To much love can be a bad thing , sometimes they need to be left to do there own thing . Looks like it may be flowering , what strain ?

That little one is an unknown from a friend. He's not much into names

Yup. I'm learning to leave them be, I'm glad you think they're looking better. Those were the saddest two last time I posted.

No watering

Just leave it alone. No watering

Is this one flowering?  Seems to be ...

Looking forward to comments

Organics gurus got you covered on the pH and amendments ... A few more bob on the fabric pots:

 

Elevate them as much as you're able to, to allow some airflow. It'll help them dry out more evenly. Even just a couple cms will help. Can't tell from the pic if they are already.

 

If the bottom inch of the fabric pots are soggy af, which is often the case I find with mine, could try a small layer of hydroton on the bottom, next transplant (if you haven't already and you're potting up), and/or an intermittent, or thermostat controlled, heating pad underneath provided it doesn't raise ambient temps/root zone too much.

 

I'm not in soil, but often the top of the medium will be dry and a small bamboo probe or feel of the bottom of the pot is moist.

Right.  Excellent idea gonna do that right now!!!

Get your water ph tested at a pool shop while you are in town as well. Or ask growguru to test it for you

Will do tks.

It's a root issue and has nothing to do with RH. Have you had your rain water PH tested? Is there a buffer in your medium? But in likelihood totemic is right , it could just be a case of to much water and love lol. Even your tomato plant in the corner isn't very happy

 

I will drop that bag of soil of at growguru tomorrow for you but even with my soil if you don't treat it right will go bad . It should be a lot more forgiving that your current mix though

There's quite a bit of dolomite lime in the mix now. I'm amazed it's too much water because the top 3  -5 cm of soil is pretty dry but I chill with the watering till they droop if I have to this time.

Awesome about the soil. Ill probably be in Pe this week to pick up stuff, will be super stoked to get a bit of your soil l...

The tomato plant has just arrived and is not in my soil.

I use the same humidifier. My airflow is very high though, and my geographic area dry. The aircon tank stays dry, even though I fill the humidifier twice a day.

If you live close to the coast, you don’t need a humidifier, most of the time. A dehumidifier is a must for Capetown winters.

You must do something about the internal light on the humidifier. I put a piece of foil over the light, actually in the recess of the tank, and covered the level sight slit with black insulation tape.

I don’t think your problem is RH.

All your problems are in the soil, what was there and what you’ve added.

Tending to agree with you Budwizer

Nah. Im thinking in all my years of growing ive never needed a humidifier. Also never actually been too concerned with humidity. The plants and the environment create its own humidity ime.

Well. That's good to know. Perhaps I'll give them a week without and see what happens. How little no you been growing?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tell me about the humidifier you got going there. Is your humidity that bad that you need it?

To maintain 50-65%rh it does seem to need the humidifier. It was especially needed when they were in the enclosed box.

In this room I only keep it on low.

Are you thinking the roots aren't developing because rh too high ?

That one plant has serious root issues

Hello alemo

 

If you could be more specific...

Possibly merely 'wet feet' issues from the medium not drying out properly between waterings.

Root rot probs. usually begin with overwater / anaerobic environment, which gives a nice environment to breed root baddies. Though more likely just unhappy roots from wet medium.

 

Fabric pots often dry out unevenly, which is frustrating.

 

Thanks for the comment. I'll be keeping a sharp eye on them. Thanks

I don't know what is wrong it just definitely has some unhappy roots

I meant which plant are you referring too Alemo.

Put up my second CMH light today and spread the ladies out a bit. Let see what they have to say about that.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmm. This little one seems to be an autoflower. This looks like a flowering head, no?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We were chatting  , had a 50l bag waiting for him but I think he came right because it went silent . Think it's still sitting there actually lol

Oh wow. If that soil is there, it won't be wasted. Got some clones I'd like to get into beautiful soil. I didn't realize you had actually left anything for me. I'll check soon lol

Thanks GLO

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, did you take GLO up on his offer?

 

Plants looking good!

Never made it to GLO 's soil... pity. But I've been wrapped up in work etc. the ladies got a lot of love, music and good doses of Epsom salts alternating with seagro and lots of sunlight too. I'm breathing a bit easier now.

Room is getting a distinctly yummy smell.

Thanks for comments Budwizer

Transplanted all my ladies today. Holding thumbs that all will be well.

They've all been topped and the OG Kush CBD are getting trained to make a flat canopy.

This little one I left outside thinking she was too traumatized to live but sunlight and rain seem to have given her a new lease on life.

This was my very tiny California hash. She suddenly growing more than everyone else.

Big OG in training

The two smaller OG's

The older California hash after foliar feed

Cheers guys.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Wow man, ladies are really looking fantastic!

Dolomite lime is a good idea, only question is, how much. Bonemeal is also a good idea. The problem is that you don't have the time it'll take for those ingredients to stabilize.

Definitely make up your mix, but add some Talborne organic veg, at the very least. Leave this mix for your next grow, or at least two months. Some EWC can't hurt either.

For this grow, you need something ready to rock, and GLO's offer is something many here would fight you for. Make a plan and take him up on it.

Dude. I know!!!! If I could get there tomorrow I'd be there. I private messaged him I could only get there next week ... haven't heard back.

Thanks for the confirmation though on the soil mix

Ph papers test

From left to right :

Vinegar, soil1, soil2, agricultural lime, lye

Vinegar seems around 4

The two soil samples between 5 and 5.7, the lime 7 and the lye is right off the alkaline chart. 

I'm thinking the soil needs a bit of bonemeal and lime. Comments and suggestions will be appreciated and welcome.

WTF ph readings.

Here's the tool I'm using to measure ph.

Distilled water and probe.

Made mud in areas to be tested.

Reading in new soil

Reading from the soil I have been using

Reading from random area in garden.

All photos taken after allowing the meter to be in the soil for at least 60 seconds.

I think this meter is screwed.

Looking forward to hearing what you all think.

I'm not sure, but isn't 1 teaspoon (5g)/ liter quite high, even for foliar feeding?

No pro bro. This is what I was as told by a long time grower. 

Think I'm gonna take totemic and GLO's advice to transplant to good soil and leave them alone for two weeks!!!!!
