Thats a pretty nice setup you have there!

Hello Leafs

What are your plans if they all turn into females?

You will quickly run out of space.

Your PH is too low, you need it aroung 6.6.

Opps I forgot to add that they were clones to my specs, my bad lol i just cloned them from 18" back down to 8" on friday, made 50 clones not like i need that many lol, gonna wait till there 10" then induce the 12/12 light cycle and i have 11 in there i really should have 8 but didnt have the heart to throw 3 away hehe...

Also will post some more pics i have to find them

Your PH is too low, you need it aroung 6.6.

are you talking the run off or the fresh water going in when you say have the ph around 6.6?

Thats a pretty nice setup you have there!

Thanks bro...:clap:

Are you checking the PH run off?

The run off is the PH your plants roots are living in.

Your plants look droopy, are the pics above been taken just after the dark period?

Yes they were taking during the dark cycle, and the water ph here now out of the tap is 8-8.5 always high in the winter time but i ph it down to 6.3, last time i checked ph run off was a week ago and it was 6.5, gonna check tomorrow when i water them, correct me if im wrong but doesn't pro mix added a ph buffer to there soiless mix that helps keep ph at 6.5???

 

[HippyInEngland]

I dont use pro mix so wouldnt know what it has in it, your PH is too low, you need the run off at 6.5 optimal.

I personally prefer the PH at 6.6.

Cool charts thanks for sharing them, I see what ya mean now with the ph at 6.3 it's not grabbing any of the Pot,Cal,Mag nutrients, at now i see why you like your ph at 6.6, the plant is able to up take good amounts of the nutrients Pot,Cal,Mag where 6.5 barley has good amounts avalible for up take, great info HippyInEngland i over look that part thanks...:48:

 

[Leafs.Rule.75]

I have a quick ? for ya if you don't mind? If your run off is 6.6 what is the ph of fresh water goin in? and what are you using for a medium?

 

[HippyInEngland]

I use soil.

As you mentioned, water varies at different times of the year, my water from the tap is 7.6, yours will be different, others will be different to ours.

You find what works for you, I find what works for me

At the end of the day, the run off is the important bit, it is what your roots are growing in.

 

[Alistair]

Yes Hippy, but I believe that he said his runoff was about 6.5. I've been reading that the watering solution should be between 6.2-6.4, and the runoff should be between 6.5-6.8 or 7.0.

Heres a few more pics taking the day before i cloned all of them on last thursday, and this pics were taking in the 6 hr dark cycle so thats why there a little droopy...

Thanks bro......I gonna take some more pics today when i feed them there last gro feeding, I gonna start the first day of flowering on sunday depending on size if not monday the lastest...:bong:

 

[Alistair]

So, apparently you've been growing with pH that's a little low on a regular basis? If so, you seem to get away with it.

In promix i have always had my ph run off at 6.4-6.6 with no problems ever...

 

[Leafs.Rule.75]

Here a few more pics from today, I am changing the light cycle tonight from 18/6 to 12/12 to start the flowering cycle...

Also i was checking on my clones a saw a few with kick azz root balls:holysheep: hehe that are spliting my 1" rockwool cubes...
