    Bears are very curious. They left my soil and plants behind lol just wanted those camo bags. I'm leaning towards no more outdoor grows I'm so sick of the issues. All my outdoor spots are of the beaten trail also. Think ill stick 1 or 2 in my yard and call it a yr. I'm 8 jars ahead and have a nice perpetual auto grow going

    I thought that with autos giving the right nute at the right time might be hard so I started with soil and just stayed with it ,but now I add nutes as well I think the next auto grow will be in coco .

    That would suck ktm690 I've had porcupines dig out my holes ,I dont use pots in woods to visible if you walk by one of my plants they tent to blend in . and I've had a moose lay on a plant and lots of plants get trampled but i.ve never had a deer mess with one or bear and I have pictures of a bear walking past plants

    can I ask why you do autos in soil...if they are indoors?? I wish I had an outside place to grow...mine always gets rot..stolen..or eaten by deer and bugs lol

    The first time I used Happy frog I got aphids , I use root organics green fields and coast of Maine Platinum , I should say that I grow my photos in coco but autos and outside is in dirt

    I have really been disappointed in ffof and happy frog...nothing but bad (usually low)ph and always a deficiency within 2 weeks because of it. It seemed I was always guessing with what to try ...ive had this exact same problem last grow …

    And last grow I tried 1 plant in coco coir and I loved it...it outpaced my soil ones and grew as healthy as any ive ever done. I am currently finishing 3 in soil then im doing the entire swap to coco only...so much easier!!!

    LPC the Plants on the far right you can just see them in pick ,on a board .Were some clones a friend gave me I used all the ones I needed then was going to toss these ,then I said WTF why not stick them in bloom ,so I did and I started feeding them nutes from my res so the same as bloom room and wouldn't you know it I got those copper spots so I would say it was to much of one nute ,Now if we could figure out wicth one lol

    LPC Maybe this will help you. https://www.growweedeasy.com/ph From that page:

    Soil ~ 6.0 – 7.0 pH
    In the wild, cannabis prefers a slightly acidic soil environment. For soil an optimum root zone pH for cannabis is between 6.0 and 7.0, with the most time spent with a pH between 6.2 – 6.9. It’s a good idea to let the pH cover a range instead of always adjusting to the exact same pH number.

    I grow hydro, which is different: I allow my reservoir to fluctuate between 5.5 and 6.5. I will tell you: keeping track of pH is one of the ten Cannabis commandments.

    Okay thank you KTM690!

    alltatup I don't believe I have intentionally made the pH fluctuate before, since I never tested the pH of the tap water before I started added nutrients (though our tap water's pH is about 7.3-7.5 usually). But then when I started adding the nutrients, I made sure to pH the water to about 6.5 and have been giving water and nutrients at 6.5 since then. I am not sure what caused that the Gorilla Zkittlez's pH to go all the way down to around 5.0 pH?

    LPC Do you maintain the pH at 6.5 or do you let it fluctuate? I'm a hydro grower and I let my pH fluctuate in the reservoir because roots absorb different nutes better at different pH levels. I assume the same is true for soil???

    Those leaves will prolly b ok or fall off make sure new leaves are ok good job turning them around

    UPDATE AFTER FLUSH:

    Hey guys I just wanted to give you guys an update! I flushed my plants the other day (I ended up flushing all of them in case because some of the other plants started showing the same symptoms). And you guys were right - the pH runoff was way off! I pH'ed the water to 6.5 and tested all the runoffs from all 4 plants. The plant that was having the most issues with the brown spots and curling of the leaves (Gorilla Zkittlez) the pH of the runoff was around 5.2-5.5!!! I actually had to flush it with more than 2-3x the water to get the pH of the runoff back up to 6.5. The pH of the runoff from the other 3 plants were around 6.4-6.6.

    It was interesting to see how much lower the pH was for the Gorilla Zkittlez was, compared to the other plants because every watering or feeding I do the exact same thing to all the plants... I guess it really depends on the plant as some plants are more "finicky".

    I do have another question - for the leaves that are already affected (with the spots and curling of the leave), do you suggest that I cut them off? Or should I keep them on the plant? Is it more beneficial or deadly to keep the "affected" leaves on the plant? KTM690 alltatup ?

    Thank you for all your help!

    SDwy Oh wow! Thanks for the tip! I am going to try using coco or hydro for my next grow and see if I still run into this problem. Thanks!

    I am a little concerned about the heat in the summer, but I just bought a 600 watt viparspectra reflector series led to replace my 400 watt hid because of both heat & gfi breaker issues. I begin using it with my dwc system. I am flowering my last dirt grown plants now, they are from bag seed that I am now on F4 or F5 clones, I call it Boom,
    lol, but it's pretty good smoke.
