Been having trouble with my grow. I’m actually so embarrassed with myself I almost didnt post the photos in this thread but I really dont know what to do at this point: I made a post recently and made some changes from thise suggestions such as transplanting but not much has improved. Stupid slow growth and the stems are now a deep purple. I think its getting worse. Also I lied on my last post, these plants are two months old now.... not whatever I said before.
*The two super small ones are clones from a buddy I got recently.
Two months old.... I’m surprised they’re still alive and haven’t just died
- stepwell super soil
- watered with only water and stepwell em1 microbs once weekly at label dosage. Also used photosynthesis plus microbs two times at label dosage.
- I never ph’d the water until last week as I was told my multiple people not too but I l’ve recently been for the last week since ive had almost no growth and this has seem to help a bit
- hard well water (300-350ppm base ph 8.5)
- lights on temp 79f until recently when I upped it to 82f
- lights off temp is 68f (the low you see is when my heater was unplugged by mistake)
I’ve been using rain water for over a week instead to maybe help fix these girls. I used one drop of ph down to lower the ph of 40gals of water from 7 to 6.3 I’m not even exaggerating when I say one drop lol. Two drops would have ducked it. Anyways that had me thinkinng. Im going to assume general hydroponics ph down is harmful to microbes and I should probably switch to something organic now like lemon juice or vinegar?
Any suggestions of what to do? I dont think these girls are worth keeping for me if they are going to keep growing at this rate... I’m open to any last resort suggestions before I toss them. I know its not ideal to take clones from none healthy plants but I might do it and start with fresh water that is ph’d organically
