Help my 2 plants are suffering.

[Badfinger]

Yea, all i read was to add 1 tbsp of baking soda to one gallon of water, but I havent researched as to how much that would raise the ph.

 

[Lil Dab]

So I took some soil ph readings,I took 3 reading and then averaged the 3.
The average PH from the Slaughtered Lamb is 5.36.
I also took 3 readings from another plant, which has just started showing issues and the average PH was 4.9
I will take readings from the sick Godzilla Cookies and the other plant I'm watering today, tomorrow.
Not looking good
What's everyone's recommendation now?
I'm definitely not using this soil again.

Thanks Badfinger. I think it would be tricky to raise with baking soda as I'm using small pots and wouldn't know how much to water in.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I think I'll continue to Ph my water and nutrients and hopefully I can see this grow out to the end and get some smokable buds.
I'm definitely binning of this soil though, at least I've run out now.

I'd just ph my water to around 6.5-6.8 to help bring up slowly.. I'd do that for a couple to a few times... you are gonna have to feel that out for your self since your at ground zero you have the best idea as to what's going on... SORRY to be blunt but I don't wanna tell you to do something and it make your plants worse cause then I would really feel like crap..... Don't be afraid to ask questions though never hurts to ask

My 2nd grow, I had plants that looked like yours. My runoff tested around 4 ph. I still think it was from mosquito bits that I had soaking for about a week before I used it. MOG told me to just ride it out and bump up my ph'd water. And I got 9 oz off two of the ugliest plants you ever seen. Come to think of it, all my plants look like hell, but smoke just fine.

we're not growing leaves:smoking: IMO it is a good sign means your not over feeding... I have never tested my soil ph but have suspected in to be acidic from using RO only first couple grows.. Since adding 50-60ppm cal-mag to my RO then PH that it has helped a bunch

Thanks guys for the replies, MOG recommends watering peat to a ph of 6.3 to 6.4. Do you think I should Ph my water and nutrients to 6.4 or higher?
I've also read that 1 tsp of dolomite lime per gallon of water can raise the ph slowly. What do you think?
I have been reading round on other forums about the plant magic soil supreme I'm using and they all found the ph to be around 5.5.
One hydro mag tested the ph of the soil and found it to be lower than 5.5
So maybe I haven't been feeding too much nutrients. Not sure what to do now.
Any suggestions?

you can drive your self crazy reading and spin your self around… I would still just stick to the plan of water ph to 6.4-6.8 and that should help bring the ph up slowly with out stressing the plants or adding more stuff to the pot

How long are these strains suppose to go estimate?

Thanks Dale appreciate your replies.
The Godzilla Cookies is supposed to go 79 days and is 50 Today, but her buds haven't really grown in over a week
Not sure on the Slaughtered Lamb, but it's one of Sawney Beans, so I should imagine it's fairly quick and already has plenty of orange hairs.

The other 2 plants have also started showing a leaf issue.
Do you think I should keep watering them with PH water until the run off runs clear?

No I would not do that…. I think that would take a true flushing which we don’t wanna do IMO.. hopefully someone more knowledgeable Biut your soil will chime in.. I think I am in over my head my theory is that at this stage of the game by the time anything gets corrected they will be about done so is really worth stressing over? That is just my thinking

Thanks Dale, like you said hopefully someone can chime in.

Got some Yucca powder, hopefully that will get rid of any excess salts.
