Hey guys havent been on in a while but here is an update on my NL

[BrazyJay]

they look like they are N deficient... have u fed them anything and what is the ph of the runoff?

[seagrass]

Yes I have been trying to fix the problem with fox farms grow big. I have not tested the run off but the ph of the water a feed them is normal. I do think the growth has been a little slow though. These were planted at xmas time. What do u think?

[BrazyJay]

definitely growing slowly, looks like my plants did before i started checking run off pH. Water with any water 6.5-7.0... wait for it to drip out of the bottom, and test the first couple drops (as much as u need to test). The runoff should be 6.4-6.8, dont fert anymore until u test the ph and are sure it is in this range, otherwise u could cause N toxicity. Also, what kind of soil are u using?

edit: when u water, just water until u start to see runoff. If it is not a ph problem, it is over watering. I had both of these problems, my plants looked the same way.

[seagrass]

I checked my run off and it is beetween 6.0-6.5 PH

The soil I got for thso grow is called dutch treat. First time using it but i dont know alot about the soil to tell you the truth.

[BrazyJay]

What method did u use to test runoff? If u dont have a digital meter u need one. They go for $20-$30 on ebay look for Hanna brand. I have compared results for the strips and the ph testing drops, versus a digital meter, and both other methods are very unreliable.

Are those bags you're growing in?...o.o

[seagrass]

hmmmm yea i just use the little droper and vile method. just waterd them now. I also have a cheap moisture tester to ensure i dont over water. It was only like 5 bucks but it helps. Umm other then that im stumped. I great air flow and plenty of light in my small space. I will pick up a meter when i get the cash.

Yes.....any thoughts??

Oh by the way. Despite what anyone says to you, if you flush your plants once a week in regulated ph water, you'll never have a ph problem.

Marijuana is so easy to grow and everyone makes it seem so difficult. Once my brother and I pushed 6 seeds into the ground. NEVER watered or fed them once and 5 of them grew 3 were females, those 3 flowered and gave us almost 2.5 oz each.

well bags are squishy...isnt there risk of root damage???? If not, plastic bags are a space saver for small grows. I never thought about it before, but I'll try it.

[seagrass]

Im actuly thinking about getting some pots and some new soil to try to boost these little ones. Think its a good idea or should i just keep the bags and curent soil?

Althought i will agree with just throwing some seeds in the ground (i did this several times and got bud)... BUT the statement about flushing is NOT true. If u are adding nutes and ur ph in the soil is 5.8 (too low) u flush with 7.0, then u water a few more times making the ph 5.8. This is bad for the plants and will kill them. Look up ph fluctuation and u will see the pictures. MJ is not difficult to grow, but why not grow it right, 20 or 30 dollars is not much to ensure healthy plants
