Hey guys, I'm hoping to open a dialogue and gauge whether there are others experiencing the same issues as I am. I've been growing primarily with Freedom Farms Classic since 2018 and I while I have encountered some mild magnesium deficiency through my own errors over the years, the past 3 months I've been seeing mg issues pop up across the board on almost every plant I run. My mother tent, my flowering tent, but clone tent, veg tent - everything is having issues with mag. They're all fed/watered with pH 5.5-6.5 water, and even using different meters cause they're in different rooms. It's almost as though the pH is drifting back up too high in the medium. I initially thought it was a bad batch, so I went and grabbed 5 new bags and have the same issues with it. I've been far more careless with pH balancing in the past without noticing these symptoms. Not sure if it's possible that the tap water is somewhat involved - the Helderberg area has been increasing chloride (apparently). Anyone else seeing anything similar?

Getting thiccc, frosty and stinky! RH has been high, hovering around 80%, there has also been some rain and wind, so making sure the lower sections are nicely defoliated. Pineapple Chunk and Jillybean will be done first as I'm just starting to see some trichomes turn amber, usually around this time I would stop feeding and start "flushing" with rainwater and molasses, usually for two weeks, and then just plain rainwater for a few days before harvest. Since I'm using salt based ferts, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to introduce molasses, I know some nutrients will be available immediately, but I have no idea what the soil microbe life is like.

150 degrees Celsius THC should be vaporized, some Terpines need more heat, but just a "bit" more. 150 is reached rather quick, and don't use oil, use "Wax" or "Honey". Oil extractions are old tech and in general remove more as just the THC (stuff you don't want to smoke and changes taste to more unfriendly).. hence they are dark to black. Proper extract looks like honey, milky (depends a bit on harvest time of the material). You only wash off the trichomes and leave the chlorophyll and nutrients in the material, so harvest time gives the color (clear: to early, white-ish: upper effects, reddish color: coucher) . Store it dark and cold for long term and after 9 months THC starts to decompose very slowly. I had 3 years cured weed and still got a good buzz from it. Hope that helped. ^^
