Hello All,
I am new here. I have been reading the topics in this forum for a while but have been reluctant to post anything for a few reasons : I'm slightly paranoid about growing, I'm
inexperienced in forums, and I'm new to this amazing hobby. I am a huge fan of the grow weed easy website. I have read just about every article, tutorial, and review they have published.
You guys in this forum are rockstars! I feel like I have made all the mistakes one can make and have learned immensely from them. However, there is one thing i can't get right. I'll start
with all the grow details I can give and let you guys see if I can be helped, lol. I'm growing in a room in my basement. The room is about 8' x 18' x 7' high. I have it exhausted outside with
a carbon filter inside. The temp and humidity are kept around 70 degrees with RH around 45 for flowering. I am using a vipraspectra V600 LED light 12/12 at manufacturers recommended distance from canopy.
The plants are in 5 galoon buckets with organic soil with some vermiculite and perelite mixed in. I use the general hydroponics flora trio with cal/mag. I've been using about 3/4 recommended
mixture dosage, watering every 3-4 days as needed. the problem seems to start about 4 weeks into flowering. The leaves start to show signs of possible phosphorus deficiency and bud growth slows down.
I dont have any pictures to upload at time, but if you look on the website under phosphorus deficiency thats what it looks like. It seems like the ph is off. Here is my problem, I cant seem to adjust the ph of the soil. I believe I have nutrient lock out. The last grow it was to low and I couldn't get it to increase,I added some lime to the soil when I started this grow and this time its to high and I cant get it to decrease. For instance, 2 waterings ago I watered with 6.2 ph nutrient solution and the runoff was 7.4. the last time I watered with 5.5 ph nutrient solution and the runoff was the same 7.4. I'm sure the ph pen is correct and have verified with the ph drops. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for a fellow enthusiast? I sincerely appreciate any help you all have to offer. I can try to add some pics tomorrow. Thank you.
