hey bro if you are growing in soil your ph should be nearer 6.5 or thereabouts, what soil are you using? if the ph isn't a mile off then just adjusting your water/feeds should do the trick

 

[Trapper]

It's my understanding that anywhere 6.2-6.7 for veg and 6.5-6.7 in bloom for most complete uptake of all available minerals and nutrients.

Hey Mr Larky
Thanks for the reply back.
Im using Plant Magic Supreme soil.
Ive got a few issues going on and the general feeling is check out the soil PH before doing anything.
Cheers for now.

Thanks Trapper!
Im just waiting on my PH metre then I will report back.

Anyone got any pointers on lowering or raising my soil PH as per my earlier post above 2?

you dont have to wait. as someome all ready said you just test the ph of the runoff and + or - the end

Waiting 2 weeks will do more damage the good, no?

OK people I could not wait for my nice soil PH metre thats on order from the States.
So as things are getting worse Ive been to my local garden centre and bought there standard £6 2 prong ph / moisture metre.

Is there any particular method to using this?
Ive stuck it in my soil all the way in and Im showing a soil PH of 7.

I get this reading across all my 9 plants and out of the 9 plants 3 are showing some signs of lock out perhaps.
Im using Plant Magic soil supreme and to be sure Ive just made up a fresh pot full and checked that.
Again its the same at PH 7.

Is this high, low, good or bad?
Whats the plan now?
My three sick plants are continuing to yellow.

New pics to follow.
Help people!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im copying the images onto this diary thread to keep my diary up to date.

Any comments, please do shout up

Ive take some fresh pictures tonight.
The following image is showing 2 pics of the same plant.
Plant 1:

The following image is showing plant 1 looking sick next door to its sister who is fine.
I have done this to show the comparison hoping thats a good idea

Plant2:
Again both pics are of plant 2

The following image is plant 2 next to her healthy sister

Plant3:
Both pics are of plant 3

The following image is plant 3 next door to her healthy sister

Can somebody help True? I feel sad for his plants.

Already tried but he didnt want to do it for some reason.

Here's some good info on ph.....
If your runoff pH is higher than your starting pH, use this equation to determine your soil pH:*
Soil pH = Runoff pH + Difference

If your runoff pH is lower than your starting pH, us this equation:
Soil pH = Runoff pH - Difference.

For example, say your the starting pH of your solution before it goes in is 6.5 and the pH of your runoff is 7.0. The difference is +0.5, so using the above equation:
Soil pH = 7.0 + 0.5*
Soil pH = 7.5

If your starting pH is 6.5 and your runoff is 6.0, your difference is -0.5 and using the above equation:
Soil pH = 6.0 - 0.5
Soil pH = 5.5

is your ph meter calibrated? in the Live Help Thread you said...

"My soil is showing a ph of 7.
This is the same on all plants in my room sick or not."

so your ph is reading EXACTLY the same for the plant that is healthy and the one that isnt?

7 is a bit high but i think your reading may be off and ur getting lockout because i dont see how one can be soo much healthier but they both have the same PH. imo if they are the same strain and the ph is the exact same for both they should both be able to take up the same amount of nutrients :Sharing One:

 

[dude]

its one of those cheap ones, they are stuck 7. im sure of it.

i got one when i started stuck it everywhere but up my arse and it just said 7
