    hey had a peek at your diary looks like your heading in the right direction, maybe have a little read up on ph drift √√√
    i have taken some cuttings but these clones are from a long standing mother which im led to believe have been really successful. UK cheese
    good luck with your ho's

    illearth67 and icon help me out no end√√√√, it'll be easier for you search thc. basically you need to get some ph- and allow your feed rise of its own accord from 5.2 thru 6.2 reseting it each time you get to 6.2 back down to 5.2, this way your ho's get the benefit of being able to absorb all the nutrients available at all of the ph levels.
    if you dont allow it to drift thru the different levels, nutrients become locked out as the plant will only absorb certain nutrients at certain ph levels. you can also search for nutrient charts or guides where you will see what ranges that nutrients or elements are being absorbed at.....
    these guys steered me in the right direction and as i found (and they were dead right √√√√) you'll learn much more by reading the info and advice posted on here than someone saying do this and do that.....
    the best phrase i coined from these halowed boards is read your plants and give them what they are asking for dont panic just let them do their thing.....
