What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

Growing for several years now with go o d results with white widow, vanilla kush and super skunk in both fox farm and coir/perlite using 400watts led, GH floura w/CaMg. My issue is high pH --like 7 plus. First month is fine @6-7 but by early bloom the pH starts up. Leaves start showing small tiny tan dots that increase over 2-3 weeks till the margins are filled. The whole leaf becomes pale tanish with light green veins. This happens when I'm unable to reduce pH to less than 7. Thinking lock out. Have gone to as low as 4.5 in and get 7.3 out, even after sevetal flushes with floura-kleen. Have tried both RO and tap and a blend of both with same results. My tap is 180ppm so I try to stay with RO or Distilled with micro/CaMg. Is there any kind of buffer I can try to help me with high 7 plus out water.
 
Follow the basic plans and use the "Trim tabs", its just like a boat for me, you can teach someone the basics but to know how and when to use the trim tabs is all about experience. Same with growing. The how to grow MJ on this site is a awesome start!
 
Drekthar Although I currently use RO water, I used my tap water for dwc a couple of grows (All last year and part of this year). My tap water tested at 115PPM, I constantly had what I thought was PH problems which is the reason I switched to RO water. In the end, the problem was I was using very little cal-mag when using tap and 1/3 or half (Matching the ratio of ferts I'm currently using based on feeding charts). Still had the same problem.
I separated the plants, continued feeding as normal on one and increased the CAL MAG to full strength (2ml per litre) and the plants exploded. My point is that I should of been using a higher ratio of CAL MAG when using tap, and the full load when using RO regardless of what you are doing with the nutrients.
Whew....
 
24/7 means 24/0 7days a week
And safely female means it comes from feminized seeds.. and the only way a plant will germ is if you drastically damaged a plant or put certain chemicals on it
 
20200327_084012.jpgMy very first Coco grow in 1gal fabric pot. Is there anyone here that uses FF Trio and Calimagic in Coco? I have a 3 day old seedling in 70/30 Coco/Perlite and no idea if i should feed what/when/and how much?? Anyone with similar grow/medium/nutes you can share a schedule with a 1stTimer?:rolleyes:

I don’t use ff nutrients. But I feed my seedlings what’s scheduled for first week of veg but only at about 1/4 strength of what’s stated till it starts taking off 2 or three growth nodes and I switch to week one feed schedule also a coco grower. Gotta remember coco has no nutrients to offer so you gotta stay on top of it.happy growing
 
Start with the micro then micro for the first 1/4 feeding for about a week. Then micro and And grow for the 4 weeks of veg along with cal magi of course then the grow and bloom for the flower. I start my seedling watering with 1/4 cup and water about every two days depending on pot weight and go up from there as she starts drinking more. For the record I start my seedlings in a solo cup though so not sure how the pot size will affect thee amount of water u feed her. I like my coco to pretty much dry out before I feed again. Coco is awesome like that provides a lot more oxygen for yourself roots if you don’t soak it
 
So for the fox farm nutes your likely just starting veg with the grow big bottle. 1/4 strength. Start with 1/4 cups and work your way up.
 
Lol lol get some rest and reiterate your reply when u feel up to it. I myself need to sleep for work tomorrow. But I will be back:)
 
I’d get at least a 3-5 gal pots. Hell, I’ve got one buddy that grows in a 50 on here...lol. Good luck and good growing
 
When transplanting seedlings from fluro globe set up to main system with 600 W HPS globes, what's the best way to 'baby' them along? half strength nutrient? reduce wattage of HPS globes via digital ballists? I'm having significant trouble working this part of the process out. Cannot find a detailed write up of how to best manage this part of the process. Please help.
 
Willyd you should use just spring water and leave the components of the active soil to do their job naturally. The greatest benefits of your medium is that it is complete as -is. Do NOT over water. It is EASY TO OVERWATER. This will cause pre-mature yellowing of your foliage weeks later. Any of the producers of living soil, especially Kindsoil, will adamantly tell you ‘ NOTHING BUT WATER’

by the way, distilled water may have high concentrations of metallic compounds depending on how this water was processed. Spring water is , well....from a spring
 
Pollination or damage seems to cause them to change color early. There could be other things but I do know those 2 things can cause it. Have you brushed against them or laid your hand/arm on a cola and squished 'em or anything? I've done that many times and the jacked up pistils will generally darken soon after.
