I cut my bud nutes too far back, in response to curling leaves. The leaves didn't uncurl so I assumed the nutes were still too high. 5 weeks into flowering and I have tiny buds. I've had an experienced grower come and see my plants and diagnosed them as being under fed. I only have 3 weeks left till harvest; does anyone know if I can prolong my flowering time by leaving the lights on? If so, for how long? I'd like ot buy some extra time to bulk them up again. om

What is your local tap water PPM? I have a bluelabs truncheon and the lowest it measures it 140ppm on the .700 scale. Should I do all my measurements on the .500 or .700 scale? What is the difference? I think my water is around 90-140ppm because if I add abit of salt or something to it, then it registers but normally it doesn't register because I think it is lower than the metre can read (140ppm) Anyone know about this? What is your local tap water and general area?

Today I added general hydro 3 part nutes for the 1st time I tested tbefore adding the hydro for ph it was 6.9 then carefully followed the tables for a very mild 1/4 strength. Tested the ph several hours later and it seems the ph is higher. I thought the nutrient solution would lower ph not raise it. Am I just freaking out here? This is my 1st shot at this and don't want to start dumping chemicals in that it doesn't need. The system is pretty big at 70 gls. What am I missing here? I used my best Selifert test kit and can't figure this out. would it take over night for…
