Google it and you'll get a bunch of hits. These people have about the best price I've seen. http://www.horticulturesource.com/control-wizard-control-wizard-accurate-ph-8-p3015/

muddy can you leave a link on what soil tester you recommend..ill have to wait a few days until i get a little extra ching, but id like to have a gameplan on which ones to look at, dont want a crappy one.

I agree with Muddy, of course. It wouldn't do any good and possibly worse if you go to feeding her things that she can't even eat right now. And by that I mean until your ph is in range for sure there's no point in feeding anything yet.

It's the same thing I am doing with mine. I know a couple of mine need some N and just veg nutes in general but I am going to water again to make sure my ph is back on track. Then, the next feeding I will feed them. You're going good, just wait it out(I know, the wait sucks) and see how it goes.

OK, im so sorry, but i just couldnt help myself! I just HAD TO! my girls looked so vibrant and perky this morning, i had to show them off..all 4 of the bigger ones are at day 25. All the pics are labled age and strain, as usual. And close ups of two leaves. The one that looks real bad is the bottom one of two leaves on my ww. If you read this muddy, its the ones that we discussed on codebreaker's journal..this is the one im thinking of cutting off, to ease watering, and create better air flow. The other leave is as bad as it gets, just a very small-what i believe is a cal mag def. The pic that is labeled AKR 2 is the smallest "runt" that last week the leaves were yellowing and burning off..shes recovering great! I think I over watered her for sure..I let her dry out, and am very careful with how i treat her now. I was amazed this morning cuz even yesterday, she was all droopy, and just looking not as good as the rest, but shes catching up nicely now. Today's a good day, but im not gonna get ahead of myself, bcuz it took a couple days for the low PH to start hurting my girls last time, but i AM gonna enjoy today! Any thoughts, good or bad welcome!

Looking good & I'm sure that the lime in the soil will be improving the nutrient uptake with each passing day. The foliar feeding probably helped also.

I agree with the others that it would be best to hold off on nutes until you are sure that the pH has recovered. If you happen to have some Big Bloom on hand it makes a good mild medicine for sick plants, but I wouldn't necessarily go out and buy any.

Sending more recovery vibes your way!

thank you very much andy, none of it would be possible without your help. it means alot to me, thank u.

 

[growbewan]

oh yeah, and as far as nutes, all i have is the general organics line up..bio root, thrive(veg), bud, cal mag, and ph down, which i wont be using. So ill just hold off a bit then.

 

[growbewan]

ok, just another update for myself, and whom ever wants to know...I just tested the runoff of my "test" pot ive been using for ph..its been 48 hrs since i first put it into the top of the soil, and now my runoff is at 6.1! thats great news! yesterday it was coming out at the mid 5's i think, so were def showing progress..Im gonna pray that my real plants are gonna be just fine by my next watering(this weekend). I hate being this happy, because something usually goes wrong when i am..haha..but im knocking on wood as we speak!

Great news grobee. Nice job man. See? No need to bother with that troublesome worrying bit, that stuff is for the birds. I bet in just another day or two tops you'll be golden.
