CreX Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Very nice man!! I must point out that for soil, ideal pH is around 6.0 to 6.8 But your plants are looking good so I think the medium balances itself out for you... Lucky fish Do you have a pH pen and EC meter? I assume yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGG Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 The freedomfarms formula 1 isand needs to be fed with nutrients, I did previous grow with pH above 6 and had huge deficiency problems, almost all my fan leaves died out and the the smaller ones, luckily it only stated mid flower so it did full through ..... But is was close or I could have lost it all.Williams update pics later Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGG Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 I have a ph/EC/ppm pen, it's the one thing I choose not to go without, with my RDWC I had a year ago it was very important to have a pen due to the daily fluctuations I had.

Bakstein420 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 @GGG I had a similar problem growing in FF soil with plant showing symptoms of high pH. I was watering with 6.5, light green with the drop test. Came across @GrowGuru website where it states that for freedom farms soil they recommend watering between 5.5-6.0 pH. The soil is buffered to raise pH if it falls out of range, however it does nothing lower pH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGG Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 So today is actually day 37 of flowerNow I'm seeing the start of some PM, all I have is 50% Peroxide from Horti Shop and the dilution is 3ml/5l so that will be 0,6m1L. I can only spray them 20min after lights come on (that's when I get at home). Should I spray lightly or drench them properly, any tips will help to expand my wisdom Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimum 3% solution, 5-8%would be better with a water spray 20 min after peroxide application... if you do decide on a higher strength. Okay so you put 3ml(@50%) into 5000ml of water (@0%) That gives you a final percentage of 0.0003% Practically water again sadly 5l is a loooooot of spray for your ladies. I would maybe mix smaller batches, 2l at the max and go from there. For a 3% solution you would need 120ml hydrogen peroxide per every 2000ml Or 300ml in 5000ml water. But for pm... I have never had luck with hydrogen peroxide. I have had the best luck with milk. A milk and humic acid spray to be exact. I dilute milk about 50 50 into water, and add a good sploosh of humic acids and I'm good to go. Fresh milk works just fine, but iv found that slightly off milk works way better. It leaves the leaves looking a bit funky,which is easily sorted with a water spray... but it sorts out the PM chop chop. And is way less dangerous than H2O2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGG Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 I thought that was a very low dose yes. I can't get my hands on humic acid ( any brand name or just those in the brown glass bottle?), can I start just with the milk/water?

1000Hills Nursery Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 @GGG Sorry to hear about your PM issues bru. Remove the plants from the tent. Clean and sanitize your tent to kill mold and mildew spores. After that spray with crex's mixture. You need to then investigate as to why you getting PM. You more or less half way to the end so it's a long stretch to be at it everyday trying to keep it at bay. Look at your lights out temps and humidity. That's the time of the day that all these pathogens get perfect germination conditions. What equipment you using for climate control. Intake and exhaust only or do you have an aircon or dehumidifier?

GGG Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Highest temp last couple weeks was 32 and lowest 20, in general its 22-29 depends on outside temps, I replace ample air light on(night) and of. Humid in Capetown you know but there are worst places I hear. No aircon/humi. Yeah busy mixing up some milk/water now Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGG Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Sprayed some milk/water and let's hope for the best, first pic the DP and no PM, actually only the GWS, waiting for spray to dry out. Interesting the different hight of the plant doesn't effect the bud size I'm between 30-50cm, 3rd pic. Overall good so far.

1000Hills Nursery Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 @GGG Hope the spray helps and rids you of that shitty PM. Quite a few guys here have said they used that mixture with good success. I'm interested in seeing if the spraying has any effects on any white pistils cos I've been told by guys here that spraying doesnt turn white pistils brown and personally over the years I've seen just plain water brown pistils so this will be like physical proof for someone like me that's still sceptical about the pistils being happy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGG Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 @Mambawana, il keep you posted on the pistols. My temp meter shows highest and lowest and I assumed that the high and low humidity goes hand in hand with temps. As you said and to my surprise the high humidity is when lights are of, thanks for that piece of wisdom. Now I can see if I can illuminate that abit.PM seems to have died down after@CreX recipe was used, will keep track and post progress.What I like about this local forum and 420 is the advise, its relative to where I stay. Appreciate this platform Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1000Hills Nursery Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 @GGG Now comes the tricky part, lowering the lights out humidity somehow. Without a dehumidifier or ac it is quite difficult. Add a heat source (heater, etc) in the lung room as PM prefers cool moist conditions, so by warming things up you emulating the lights ON conditions when your grow lights are warming up the room and making conditions a little less conducive. Prior to me getting proper climate control I found a few tricks that worked okay as a make a plan. One was to exhaust air from my veg room into the flower room at lights OFF. I'm really glad that the spray is already showing its working. I will definitely try it on my outdoor gals close to the end of the season when PM always pays a visit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
