totally a ppm meter, also sold as a "water quality tester" or tds meter, is a device which measures the total dissolved solids in an electrolyte solution, in this case dihydrogen monxide ( ) aka water, in parts per million (ppm) . Comes in real handy when gauging nute mix strength, allows another element of consistency. I use mine everyday to help determine what i need to top up in my res .

edit- whoops was gonna touch on temps too. 83 is fine. My enclosure regularly gets to above 87-88f. Keep it from getting underwatered and you should be fine.

Guide to Sick Plants & ph

breezybong12

light just kicked on and i go to check my girl and shes really droopy all leaves and the buds look like they have been cut from the plant you know like the next day after you cut them how they start looking smaller and beat idk i need help no clue what could have happen

breezybong12

ijust flushed her with 4 gallons of phd water and waited 10 minutes flushed again checked the run off wich came up 6.4 and took some photos idk what the deal is this was overnight someone help me out

breezybong12

well flushing worked guess it was ph after all everything seems to be back to normal not droopy or anything any more hope to keep things on a roll thinking i might harvest at 11 weeks

breezybong12

for real idk whats up Ive been told many many things that could be wrong with my plant for the leaves to be losing their color turning yellow then falling off and some of the tips curling and turning crunchy i adjusted my pH my temps added Epsom salts and also just gave strait phd water last 2 feedings yet my leaves continue to turn yellow and die off any help will be appreciated



i meen all around the plant looks healthier besides the yellowing leaves and buds not filing in fast their mostly just clusters of hair lots of hair and sugar but its not droopy nomore

burndt

that's normal for a flowering plant using up all its energy from the leaves....and focusing on bud production

you might want to fill out a questionnaire to be on the safe side

looks good to me though

Your soil pH is 6.4, is this from testing the soil with a pH soil probe, or is this from testing the runoff water?
If you feel really strongly about the yellowing leaves, you could give them a tiny shot of something with a bit of N in it, I think its an extreme N deficiency, only if your runoff waters pH is within par

sorry bout that but yea the run off is 6.4 it was above 7 but i flushed her and brought it down but what im asking now is will these leaves dying off so quickly effect my yield and any estimated time length until the buds fill in?

breezybong12

i really took a good look at my buds today and noticed their pretty airy i know its common in sativas but the lower buds really arent much im thinking i was wrong on how long i had left with her and the problem is me and my g/f are moving at the end of the month due to many local house and car break ins and im not sure she will be done before that. is there anyway to speed up the flowering cycle at least by a week or so shes way to big to try to carry out to a uhaul without anyone spotting.. i was told that cutting a few more hours from the cycle would fill her out faster but idk how true that might be any insight?
