You'll need to post some more info... What soil?... Nutes?.. What was your soil pH before you broke your tester? Etc etc... I'm sure Muddy will be along to help at some stage... Jus keep shouting & someone will help out... I'm only a novice myself & I'm growing in hydro so I'm sorry dude I'm not much help... But if I was to hazard a guess i'd say either nitrogen or mag def... & your pH could be causing it... Maybe

safe for the input Kush,

I am using Biobizz light mix, Bio bizz root juice, Bio Bizz grow @ 1/4 nutes,

24 hour light from start, 18 days old

ph level before was 6.7
ph level now is 7.6

The plant is still growing upwards and seems to be flowering fine,

With the pH that high I'd say the nutrients are getting locked out, causing a deficiency. You should be in the 6.3 - 6.5 range so it looks like it's been too high all along.

cheers mate,

so how can i lower my Soil Ph? I have ordered dolomite lime is this the solution??

 

[MadGully]

also, if my soil ph is so high, should i put the ph of my water to like 5.0 to try balance it out??

Dolomite lime raises your soils ph. You need garden sulfur, that lowers it. There is a pelleted split pea type kind as well as the powdered kind. Powdered works quicker, but both take time to start working.

It's somewhere around 1 tsp and a half per gallon of mix. Mix that all together good and then water with a ph of 6.5. After several days your soil's ph should be getting within range. Hope this helps.

IMO you wouldn't want to go that low. You don't want to bring the ph down super fast or too low. I would go with the sulfur and water with ph between 6-6.5 until you're in range.

With your pH that high just lowering the pH on the feed won't be enough. Given how high you currently are I would suggest a bit more, 1 tablespoon of powdered sulfur per gallon of feed. Wait 3-4 days and then check the pH again.

Those pots look small. Are you planning on transplanting? If so, then I'd recommend putting them into larger plants with the soil pH already adjusted.

You can use sulphate or you can ajust the ph of your feed to bring it back in range matey also i think the lime is to put the ph up not down
