    The Kali China girls are recuperating slowing but they are still weak just by the colour of their leaves, at least they are growing. It seems only the Mazar girls are thriving in this environment as for the Kali 47 well they are beginning to be more bushy. This Friday I decide to feed them a full dosage of Cal-Mag to boost the Kali girls. Time will tell hey ?

      From bad to worst ?? I'm not sure anymore why it's happening only to my Kali strains. I did the flush, my girls are not saturated cause I check every day with my moisture meter. Lately I double verify my PH and it's always 6.3 to 6.5. Temp is always around 24C-26C during light and 18C-19C during light out . Air filtration and circulation is fine. Nurtrients in moderation as recommended by the breeder. So all I did differently is to use for the very first time PRO-MIX organic vegetable & herb mix. Oh yes still can't control the HR, at 35 % during light and 45% during light out. Might as well switch them soon before they died on me.

        It's ok SoOrbudgal I might as well switch them earlier. It's not light burn cuz the lights are far from the canopy, Not over saturated either cuz the pots are light. So my deduction is not enough nuts or humidity or maybe the new mix. Then winter growing is not the best time for me where I live, you know the frigid cold we have here.

      Dang it, I'm guessing the fish stuff or pro mix. I grow in a perpetually dry part of the U.S., my humidity during the winter doesn't generally get above 30%. My Golden Tiger X Panamas (last grow and this one) didn't seem particularly affected by the humidity.

      Regardless, I hope you're able to isolate it soon. Us ACE Seeds aficionados gotta stick together!

      I think you are already on to the issue, since the Pro-Mix is the new part.
      I have had issue with using a soil moisture meter, I was sticking it into a spot that retained moisture. The rest was dry, I dropped the meter in the trash and lift the pots. I have 1 plant now that likes water, she wants it 2-3 times a day, I removed the riser so it can wick up water and now bottom water it every day or 2.
      I have issue with,, perlite! I think it is at least half my problems. Before I added it to my soils the PH was stable (but a tad high), with the addition of perlite my soil PH crashes to ~4.0 by the end of the grow. I have a pot now with no perlite in it to prove this to myself. Heres what happens, the perlite attracts air and moisture, it also attracts the sulfur in the soil and the combo makes sulfuric acid, which crashes the PH. For this on my current grow I am adding wood ash to raise the PH and this so far seems to stabilize the soil PH for now. Once these finish this soil is gone! Another bad for perlite is the sharp edges kills the earth worms which are a huge part of my living soil.

        Thank you so much Rwise for your inputs, you are right for the moisture meter and I notice the difference in different spots of the pot. My instinct told me to lift one of them and guess what ? The pot was lighter than usual. And yes I did put some perlite like 30% of it even the Prox-Mix had already some of it in the bag. So last night I watered them 3 time the intake and this morning the were praying again..! So will see in a few days. Hope it will stop the yellowing and the brown spots.

        If Prox-Mix reduce my PH to a lower level I'm thinking of adjusting to 7.0 to see how they will react.

          If all goes well for the Kali girls SoOrbudgal I might add 2 more wks they need to be more voluptuous before the switch sooo I'm thinking close to the end of February.

        They are recovering ?? My Kali China girls seems to have a better tone of colour this morning, they look less yellow and more green. Looks like they are drinking more so maybe it is one of my many problems. This week I'll continue with a full strength of nuts.

          Great to hear! Those girls are looking pretty luscious there, killer.

          I just switched my Golden Tiger X Panama today, at 15 days of veg. So far, she is absolutely beautiful for her age. ACE recommends the short veg time, to mitigate the stretching and node separations.

        #86
        Great @BR2K keep me post about your GTXP girl. The next grow I won't put any perlite since the PRO-MIX I used already have some so will see. I'm looking at Bubba Hash and Congo for my next one.

        A sigh of relief ? Well maybe. I notice there are less yellow and brown spots on my Kali. They are growing faster now. The "grow room" looks like a mini jungle so I'm happy for now. The full strength of nutes seems to work so tonite a full dosage of Alaska Fish. HR is better between 45 to 60% now.

          They want to move to womanhood but I want to keep them into ladyhood. Well at least for two more weeks. They had a full strength of Alaska Fish last night. Temp at 24C and HR at 50%. From what I saw this morning they appears much better.

          Finally ?? Well the decision is mine to keep them in veg mode. 1 wk ? 2 wks ? I'll see, so far my Kali girls are reacting well to their food. So far the humidity is between 50-60 which it's kinda good for my vegetation.

            I’ve never used perlite actually. Using leca stones.
            But they seem to like what you are doing now. I like your grows, old school strains and the hash making is on spot 👍🏻

            I do the old fashion way too. My neighbor country is Morocco.
            I get the finest hash from there, and it’s where I learned the technique as well.
            I never grown Mazar, but heard a lot of good things about the strain
