Here's an update for u guys. All environmental parameters are the same. PPM'S on the nutes are the same 800-900 but shifted the nutes to flower side of nutes. Im running out of space both vertically and horizontally. So what should I do, cant find any info a out this issue. Thx20211107_124154.jpg20211107_124206.jpg20211107_124149.jpg20211107_124337.jpg

Not a lot you can do about space unless you have another tent to stick one in. If it were a height problem you could train your way out of it. It's crowded in there, but if you keep you humidity in check and keep lots of airflow going you should be able to ride it out.

I have 3 bluedream autos going and their not growing anymore and turning light green. Runing a giixer 1k and humidifier. The light is 20 inches away and the humidity is 70% with a temp of 72. Im a newby and dont know what to do. The first pic sprouted on 9/10 and 5 days later for the last pic. Thx in advance.View attachment 4991616View attachment 4991617
It's not going to grow much until it gets roots. Initial growth of leaves is only to gather light. Be patient.

I was fearing that, didn't want to buy a new tent before harvest. Not a good risk taker im already in the woods with this grow lol.

The 3 thats giving me issues with space are the girls I stunted in the original post. I thought it was a wasted run, now they are bursting out the tent. Funny how things can turn around and create a new problem fml lol

Ok guys heres one for ya. I was doing a weekly flush to test runoff. All plants had a ph of 6.7 and ppm of 500-600. Should I be concerned about the ph? If so how do I proceed. Thx

Ok, but whats the science on ph going in is 5.6-5.9 and running a run off and it going up. The water at start is well water @ 4.5. Is there a process happening in the coco or the roots.

I had to come up with something because they'd runnout of room in the tent. Didn't want to buy another tent right now before my first harvest. The plants were bunched up and the light penetration was poor. Chime in any help or suggestions is greatly warranted. Thx

Defoliate and supercrop if needed but I'd wait. They are flowering so most/all of the vertical stretch should be over.

Ph coming out so high is not great I think. Pretty sure you can just gently put you ph pen in wet part of medium to get a reading of ph in the pot. Dig down a little on edge to disturb roots as little as possible to get the wet spot. Be gentle with pen, just enough to get reading in a few spots

I think ph is a big deal in all medium but a lot of people here don’t agree it seems.

from my knowledge (which is less than none), if the ph of the medium is not correct, nothing in the medium can work correctly

ppm 700/1.3ec start to finish imo. Closest to 2-1-2, always. Doable with just one general purpose nute. Only say this cuz not sure what your using but I assume salt nutes

also calibrate ph pen

Rust spots = calcium def
Coco needs more cal mag than other mediums. Its very common to get cal mag def in coco if you dont add it.
Also your plants are absolute full of nitrogen so be careful giving more of that.
To me your coco looks dry still. Or is it perlite on top of pots?

Do you have a cat or who is munching on those leaves? :D

I think your right. Ive tried to do some research on here and its all over the place. I know that theres science behind it but no one knows or care. I recalibrated my pen and flushed with the correct ph to 50% runoff. I was running 800 to 900 ppm and the were showing signs of deficiencies so I uped it to 1000 to 1100 and it worked. Thx, if you find anymore about the soil ph let me know.

Its perlite, no cat it was from the vacuum. Sometimes I suck up a leaf or 2 in the process of removing run off lol.

ok ive run out of nutes. So im looking for a good all around nute that can be used in both coco and amended soil. I know the amended soil only gets nutes in flower if I transplant up every 30 days. I did some research and its too much to choose from for a newbie. Ive gotten to many skipped heart beats and im not looking foward to any more lol. Whats you guys recommendations. Thx
