Help my 2 plants are suffering.

Very interesting I have seen it a couple times this week stressing over their soil ph.. I grow in coast of maine TLS and they told that ph your water with do very little with TLS you water will turn to natural ph very fast.. That being said I do ph my water to around 6.2-6.6 as long as it's some where in there I send it :headbang: I stopped checking runoff reading for ALL girls awhile ago just watch my inputs and the plants I am still believe that runoff reading can be very miss leading in soil.. Almost appears as if it could be just a fade BUT I don't know that strain or breeder:shrug:


"As a living soil the ph of your water will make very little difference because the soil is naturally buffered and will return quickly to it’s natural PH."
Thanks Dale :d5:
 
Just water them with 6.8ph water and no nutes for awhile. It wouldn't hurt to make the next watering a heavy watering event with a moderate runoff amount. That should help remove some/any built up nutes near the bottom of the grow bag without doing a full blown flush(which usually does more harm than good).

How long would you suggest watering for and how much run off?

:yeahthat:I agree not a full blown flush

I using shoot for around 10% 1-2 a week once plants gets into flower when adding bennies helps prevent dry pockets IMO :d5: Harley smith talks about it in one of his videos that watering to just a bit of runoff can be beneficial I'll see if can I find it there a few :biggrin::d5:
 
I'm just a little confused as I have only been feeding low amounts, 1 or maybe 2 times a week.
Hurry up soil ph tester!
 
A 3 gal pot with most soils does not need any nutes added until flowering and then just once a week or so.

But I suspect your main issue is a ph related lockout so the plant hasn't been able to use the nutes you have been adding and it has been building up slightly.
 
Problem: Plant 1 Godzilla Cookies, overall yellowing of leaves, starting from the bottom up, black spots on leaves, reddish brown blotches on leaves, lower leaves easy to pluck off with slight pull.
Problem: Plant 2 Slaughtered Lamb, overall yellowing off leaves, black spots and brown patches on leaves, wilted leaves will not pluck off easily.
Medium/grow method: both in Plant Magic Soil Supreme, a peat based soil.
Feed and supplement used: Plant Magic Organic Old Timer feed (included a picture of schedule. Feeding half dose, EC range from 0.550 EC to 0.850 EC, using a feed, water, water schedule, using a hand pump sprayer, feeding and watering to run off.
Water source: Tap water dechlorinated for 24-36 hours 0.148 EC, PH 7.01
Strain and age: Plant 1 - Godzilla Cookies age 48 days old, Plant 2 - Slaughtered Lamb 48 days old.
Climate: 25-26 degrees C temp , 55% RH daytime, 20-21 degrees C temp, 55% RH nightime.
Light used: Viparspectra KS3000, 300 watt led grow light. 18 hours on/ 6 hours off
Additional Info: Godzilla Cookies in a 3.8 litre pot, Slaughtered Lamb in an 8 litre pot. Godzilla Cookies started showing symptoms just over two weeks ago, started with an overall yellowing, from the bottom up. Slaughtered Lamb started showing symptoms just over a week ago, started with reddish-brown spots on leaves.
I'm not PH'ing my water or nutrients as it was recommended not to, as the soil is PH buffered and the nutrients are organic liquid feeds. I'm supposed to be feeding the soil? Don't know if this is correct.
Here are some pictures for you.

Thanks for any help. I really hope I can sort out these issues, as I have loads of the nutrients left.

Did these issues start shortly before/after the transition to flower?

The plants are in 3.8 Litre and 8 litre, so roughly 1 and 2 gallon. Only really fed them once in veg and like I said 1 0r 2 times at most during flower.
I also feed with extra run off when I do feed to stop the nutes building up and water to run off every time. :d5:
