1st Grow and messing up

Growlog link: https://growithjane.com/growlog/blueberry-muffin-xubzh

If you don’t have a growlog please answer these questions.
What strain are you growing? Fem

Are you growing Indoor or outdoor? Indoor

Are you using nutrients? Yes perfect ph micro, grow and bloom.

How much? im up to 2ml per liter and just recently done this a day before the pictures Foxfarm bushdoctor for my cal mag 1 table spoon per liter.




Using PH perfect you can go full dose 4ml p/l (15ml p/g) at this stage. I would also suggest using actual cal-mag


( not sure what else is in Bush Doctor) I’m still learning about plant sickness and what they look like , but to me it looks like there is a watering issue either to much or not enough by the way sometimes of your leaves are curling .
To me your not messing up…your just learning and your in the right place for that. Don’t get overwhelmed take your time and remember what works for others may not work for you.
Half to have you as part of the community and feel free to ask questions , even if they seem silly to you. Happy growing.

I agree with @Papakat420 about them looking overwatered with possible pH issue or nutrient dose. What soil you growing in?

Thank you for the feedback here is a picture of the back of the bottle. Do you still think i need different brand looks straightforward? I was also thinking of getting these other itmes to help me ether not over/ under water.


Thanks also for your input will also be getting the PH Up and down kit and more calibration solution to help keep my pen accurate cause its telling my my distilled water is even 7.3ph and my regular tap water is 7.8 and spring water is 8.5ph. Def overwhelming but ill keep at it.

This is also the soil i just transplated to
FoxFarm 70/30, 2 cu ft Coconut Coir & Perlite, Natural
And i added some wormcasting through out the mix for more nutrients hope im not adding to much nutrients.

Those soil testers on there won’t do you any good really they don’t measure the full length of you soil just where the tip is so it could provide inaccurate readings. Your cal-mag is fine and since your using the AN grow , micro and bloom you’ll be fine , I personally wouldn’t over do it. I would add Big Bud and Sensizym for flower plus Bud Candy. Or which ever flower nutrients you decide to use.

In my experience with getting into nutrients you don’t wanna use what it says on the bottle exactly, you would likely want to cut it down to 1/4 strength for very young plants, and 1/2 strength for plants that is more matured. Then the plant will tell you if it needs more. But I would use a TDS meter and test the runoff of the plant. Also testing the pH if your water just to get some kind of idea if it is higher that 7 or below 6 it won’t be the best reading but it’ll get you an idea. Then you need to pH your water the other way (high pH of run off then change pH of water to 5.8. And vice versa) and if the TDS is very high I would recommend a flushing of the plant’s soil. But the best to do is to let it dry out and by dry out I mean put your finger in it down to the knuckle. And if you pull your finger out and it is dry then it is time to water. But no nutrients, just good pH balanced water (6.2-6.5 for soil) and once you test everything. If ph is off and/or the PPM’s are high( over 900ppm). Get a full understanding within your available means and then you can help her get better. Good job tho, she’s gotten pretty far! You can bounce back from this within a couple weeks and she will be good as new! Happy growing!

That’s a lot. My head exploded :exploding_head: probably cause I’m terrible with numbers, but this is something I want to do, and you already gave me the guild lines, so with that advice, I’ll purchase the TDS meter and watch YouTube precisely what it is and all it does. I also started little doses of nutrients, but they started growing fast, so I added more as needed instead of 4ml as recommended. I’ll do 3ml and see if that improves the looks after I can adequately get this drinking water together. Thanks for your help

Remember that it takes a couple weeks for it to fully uptake all new nutrients, and if you see the deficiency then you are already a week or so behind. So you feed it the half strength, and let it go for 2 weeks making sure to water only when needed. But she doesn’t need any more nutrients right now I can promise that, she needs pure distilled water that is has the pH modified to within range. And you may have to give the plant multiple gallons of clean water to wash out excess nutrients and to fix the pH. It will take some time just try to keep researching. We will all help you. Please feel free to ask any questions, any at all.

They were underwater needed nutrients and I got a chance to give them a trim. Thank u everyone for support i see them growing now

Will give more informatiom in 3 days when my meter come in the mail

So, my plant soil is in the 4.5 to 5.1 Ph balance. Between 4 plants

And my TDS is between 850 - 1400, reading are everywhere between two meters

Leaving out tap water for the chlorine to evaporate for a high pH level to balance out soil to get it to 5.5 to 6

Ph perfect: micro, grow, and bloom. Cal mag and sativa are also in the water solution, and I’m giving 1liter each plant starting today instead of splitting them between 2 plants.

Pictures of meters and roll-off water are in the grow chart.

That’s not a high pH. Your is drastically low. It needs to be between 6.2-6.8 pH. And it should be around 650-850 ppm of TDS. I would give the plant gallons of DISTILLED water that is pH corrected to between 7.0-8.0. You will feed it multiple gallons of water and keep testing the runoff until the pH is more within range and the ppm of TDS get lowered to the right area.
But if you get the pH in the right area the plant should start eating the nutrients in the soil like crazy. Also calmag should be brough down to 50% of what it says on bottle and I’ve found it good to spray the calmag onto the leaves instead of roots (personal opinion but both ways r good to give it to it.
Their feeding schedule makes no sense why would you keep EVERYTHING balanced the same the whole time. Like veg why don’t you use less bloom and more veg and in flowering you use less veg and more bloom. So I’m not going to speak and say the schedules is wrong but it just really doesn’t seem right. But if that what it says if follow it.
I’d do some research and look into it. Because I have a feeling they may want you using everything the same all the time so you have to buy more.
But I hope things turn up and around. I’d be more than happy to help u with any processes. Just let us know!

Also this is what it says on the website “ pH Perfect® Grow, Micro, Bloom is specially designed for use with diverse hydroponic growing media and all continuous liquid-feed growing systems such as aeroponics, drip irrigation and emitters, NFT, flood and drain, and deep water culture.” so possibly you have the wrong nutrients for how you are trying to feed it? I am just telling you what they are saying on their website.
If I was in your shoes I would look to other nutrients that are more built for soil and not for hydroponics.

@Knuckles
I personally use Advanced Nutrients PH perfect line in soil and getting great results. You definitely need to raise the PH in your soil though it’s way to low.

@Yvngstonie
I had the same concern as you about the grow and bloom so I reached out directly to them and they explained that their formulated to work together and pointed out to me it’s actually on the bottle itself;


I put mine in different bottles to make them easier to pour into measuring spoons when mixing

Both right around 37 days old (sorry they got mixed up)
And just a heads up…I’m watering/feeding a gallon every 3 days each plant in 5 gallon fabric pots and only getting about an 1/8 of a gallon runoff each.

I guess it makes sense but it flowering it need like a 1:3:3 npk and flowering is more of a 3:1:2 so using them balanced the whole time to me wouldn’t make total sense. I would think a ml more of so of grow during veg and an extra ml during bloom of bloom. Idk that’s what would make sense to me. But you plants to look amazingly healthy so there must be something they aren’t really telling.

I’m gonna use 3 of their flowering nutrients , Big Bud , Sensizym and bud candy but they are used at different times during flower only.
For me it’s like using Fox Farms only on nitro :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: .
The only thing I don’t like is the bottle design to awkward for me , that’s why I switched them up. Alot easier to use and less spill.


This is all the nutrients I’m using this run.

True but I only use 15ml each per gallon some are also smaller doses so it’s not small enough for me. With the different bottle shape it’s just as easy to me.
