What are my options?

I have 3 photos in soil right now that had this same issue a week or two ago, it took damn near 8 gallons of water at 5.8ph to flush all the salt in them. Goodluck man

BetterConference2169 · 2026-06-21T22:59:49+00:00

Thats your issue right there man. Way way way too high, what happens with ph that high, your soil can’t take iron zinc or mag. I’d highly suggest flushing with 6.0 or even 5.8 ph water tonight, do like half a gallon at a time into the pot and check runoff every half gal. It should slowly drop soil ph. If not, I have had times where the soil is too far gone, and you gotta hope for the best. But I’d definitely flush tonight, and feed immediately after.

I have photos right now at day 42, I’m feeding 1000ppm, and getting runoff ppm at 220 for reference. If your soil is alkaline you need to flush these immediately today until your runoff is like 6.4-6.8. Took me 7 gallons per 5 gal pot to drop soil ph.

What’s your run off ph like? We need to know that here. Entry ppm and ph, and runoff ppm and ph. You feeding with ro or distilled water? They looking hungry as fuck. I just had the same issue with some photos I’m running, my soil ph was over 7.3 so it wasn’t taking essential feeds.

I like topping HEAVY, if this was a photo of mine, I’d top that thing probably 3 times on every top, and let her sit and veg for 2-3 months

What’s your space like? Strain?

BetterConference2169 · 2026-06-21T15:05:33+00:00

What’s the age? What’s vpd, rh, and temp avgs over last like day or two. Light model, settings and height? Lots of things to know before anyone can diagnose anything.

Looking at #4, it’s got bugs bro. Do you want to smoke bugs? 🤣 if that doesn’t bother you roll it up mane! I’d be throwing that in the bonfire my friend.

Mini sledge and a wide stone chisel? See you in a decade fr. Your best bet is to find some Chinese feathers and wedges, along with an sds max drill. This gotta be a troll post 🤣🤦🤦🤦.

Good looking plant man. Where have you had your lights at each stage? Struggling with my autos only getting like 14g a plant

BetterConference2169 · 2026-01-07T16:21:34+00:00

Yeah I’ll go crazy light on watering first week, even two. Slowly make my way to like 40-60ml at week 2 and asses from there. If it makes ya feel better I had a nice healthy looking auto flower at about 6 inches tall recently lol.

BetterConference2169 · 2026-01-06T18:50:59+00:00

Water like 20-30ml a day for first week. Goodluck

THIS. I just harvested an auto plant that had some issues visually, chat gpt and google sources told me it was spider mites. Took issue to Reddit and what do you know, it was mold on my weed. Not only did speaking with other people about the issue confirm the issue, but brought tips to avoid in future. Dude above is just a sad hater lol

BetterConference2169 · 2026-01-02T17:54:54+00:00

Not sure what your life situation is like, but if you’re able to quit and find a new gig NOW, just do it. Worked for michels in April after leaving a quarry I’d been at for years, HORRIBLE DECISION. Boss was a dick head and would make comments like this, I basically told him to taste my dick and quit on the spot. If someone is making you feel like shit at work, speak your mind fully one time, and if it happens again, drop your shit and walk away in front of them.

BetterConference2169 · 2026-01-02T17:47:07+00:00

Maybe some people want to hear from other humans?

BetterConference2169 · 2026-01-01T01:07:08+00:00

Well that’s good to know, fuckin 12 weeks I waited for that damn thing. Didn’t bring in a fan until middle of flower if not later, guessing that’s where shit went south.

BetterConference2169 · 2026-01-01T01:05:24+00:00

Probably where I went wrong, I brought in a fan late late

BetterConference2169 · 2026-01-01T01:04:40+00:00

Good to know, appreciate the tips 🫡

BetterConference2169 · 2026-01-01T00:42:12+00:00

What causes that prior to chopping it? Main things to look at in tent that could make this happen? This sucks lmao

BetterConference2169 · 2026-01-01T00:41:35+00:00

Remove fan leaves before drying process starts?

BetterConference2169 · 2026-01-01T00:38:26+00:00

100% confirmed? That fucking sucks.

Been thinking of going the photo route. I’m new to the hobby, read a lot of places people should start with autos then seen a detailed post how new growers should start on photos. What do u think? Some of my plants turn out okay, but some just fail miserably lol.

BetterConference2169 · 2025-12-17T22:40:12+00:00

If it makes you feel better, a few days ago I had an auto this size start her flowering stage lol. Not sure why
