New Grower Long time stoner, first time grower...

[EyeWood]

I'm going to buy some lemons just in case a flush is the answer... Lol

 

[EyeWood]

PH pen, buffering sachets and new soil probe purchased and arriving on Wednesday. Hopefully it's not too late to save the girls... BM is showing signs of deficiency, I imagine from lock out...

Your ladies are far from showing anything critical. I think you’ve caught this before it really turned into something major.

Sometimes the worst you can do is overreact. See what tomorrow brings?

When was the last time you fed any nutrient?

 

[EyeWood]

They got a full feed on Saturday. Today is the first drink since then.... They've both had a further 200ml ph'd to 5. Lol

Fingers crossed!

So you’ve made some corrections, not sit back and see the results. I’m a noob and don’t know much, but I do know the worst mistakes happen when you panic.

So relax, your plants look great, and you’ve come pretty far in your grow. Now you’ve learned your pH lesson and your long term pH plan is in place. Well done!

ph 7 in soil is just a smidge high,some people may get away with it,no need to panic,flushing often leads to other problems such as overwatering,or a pot that wont dry out for a week and roots get unhappy.a few feeds low 6's should turn things around quick enough.
droopy leaves they do that in the dark,sometimes an hour before and afterwards.
good luck n keep er lit.

Morning folks. I get the feeling it's going to be another tough week.

Nitrogen deficiency and tip burn!?

okay so you had pretty high pH stuff going through the pots
you have corrected it now, by running lower pH through the soil
In my mind, that gives rise to making a lot of dormant higher pH stuff that has been sat in the pot already a chance to be absorbed now - this may or may not be complete rubbish, but it crossed my mind once I’d started pHing my water and feeds
but basically give her a couple of days to stabilise! you’ve made some changes, see how she reacts fully before you react again!

good job so far mate
take what I say with a pinch, just my thoughts!

Thanks man, I thought that too.

If the soil PH has been high for a while then the soil may be loaded with unabsorbed nutes.

I hope I can pull it back .I have no doubt that things are going to get worse still before they get better though.

The temptation is there to keep feeding lower ph'd water as I can see the pot pH is still high. Although I know this would result in over watering! Bloody balancing act! Lol

Live and learn.

they're big and strong girls, they'll be good

slowly but surely with the pH'd water! it's no race!

i had a scan through the thread but couldn't see what line up of nutrients you're using? which Grow/Bloom stuff and which CalMag out of curiosity?
