I also forgot to mention you may also want to start giving tepid water, so you don't shck the roots. Captain Beefheart told me that and I think that's made a massive difference in this grow I've done.

Cheers buddy thankfully iv been doing that from the very start mate, I fill a bucket and leave it for 24-48hrs then soon as I feed i fill it again to let it sit each time. Learnt that the hard way in coco feeding at 14 degrees and hermied one (presume that was the reason)

Ordered the dynomyco there and should be here om Friday so hoping to pot the little ones into the soil then

I think repotting may be beneficial if they're struggling. But typically you wouldn't usually repot at this stage through flowering. It may stress them out.

Also, that exactly what I used to do, leave for 24 hours. But it's not the best way to water I have found. Read this:

I tested my tap water. Chorides and chlorine are both different. Chorine is 1 of the 17 vital nutrients to plants and involved in photosynthesise. To get the chlorides out of your water, use apple cider vinegar with "the mother culture" in like a raw organic one, Aspall is good or Raw from Amazon (I'm in UK)

Chlorides will not evaporate, this is why the water boards use this, useful as it keeps our water clean, but not for soil as it will chelate things I suspect and generally kill all microbial life.

Also letting it sit, you'll notice the water gets like a slime layer where its gone aerobic. You want as much oxygen in the water as possible.

I now use a pump sprayer, you can physically see the oxygenation in the water when using them. Just takes a while to get the technique right, you'll less likely over water you plants this way I've found.

Flip just when I think I'm starting to get my head around things lol this is why I love this forum do much. All this information is like gold dust to me so thank you.

I'm glad I read through your thread RIK as I was going to just order the neutralise lol great bit of research you done there, suprised a company like that is selling it knowing it does little to nothing to help. So looks like it the apple cider vingar route. How much would I use for 5L of water?

Attached a few pictures i took this morning for you mate

Just PH to your normal and record how much to use. I just throw in what I know works now then test my soil PH every now and again.

Think I got you confused with someone else in flower though

But typically you wouldn't usually repot at this stage through flowering. It may stress them out.

I would re pot soon, that dynamyco seems to be good stuff.

Thats the thing buddy I haven't been phing my water at all. I have a blulab ph and temperature meter and my water phs at 6.7 and ec 0.1 so I had just been feeding at that ph. My water is very clean in my area

Have you ever checked th PH of your soil?

[Guest]

Sounds like you may need to test your water as it may be cleasn enough to use straight. If your soil PH has too low that may have caused lock out.

Alkalinity (different from PH) is how much acid it takes to PH if you get that, which is why people buffer their soil why lime or something aling those lines.

I think bicarbinate of soda is a good PH buffer.

I haven't mate no. But I can check that soon as I get home for you what range should it be between

Having a nightmare mate, the soil meter i got is a piece of s##t lol everything i measure reads 4.5 measured the two 50L pots, 2 babies pots, mine and my neighbours gardens and the wormery and all of them read 4.5

Really hope the readings aren't correct as that would mean my soil is very acidic. But I doubt it as the babies are looking real healthy and don't think they would be doing this good if the soil was at 4.5ph. And thought I would get at least one different result from so many tests

I'm going to order something else to measure the soil ph, don't think I could do the paper method like lol I need something I can just pop in the soil and read it off

Added a picture of the one I bought
