One of my ladies are looking sad plz help.

If you pH is that high I would say that's your problem. That's a full 2 points too high and even if the others aren't showing signs of lockout yet, it's only a matter of time. There have also been some issues with OF being too hot for seedlings and that may be contributing also. I would get the pH down to around 6.5 first.

So 2 more ladies are taking affect from the ph imbalance.

was thinking of picking up a couple gallon of distilled and saokign them all out with some ph'ed water. with the though porcess that i could thin out the feed and whatever bad phed soil is left from the first feeding

Flush for Nute Lockout? or other mythods?

so i now have 3 ladies who are showing signs of yellowing. so from my understanding i feed them to early and there is a good chance they got locked out.
If so then there techniqually already gonners. SO my idea is maybe i will flood the soil with LOW ph water. like 5.0-5.5 to maybe counter the old ph.

what do youthink...what whould you do if you locked a few plants out or what have have you done to fix it?

so i went in there and felt underneither one of the leafs and it was wet? so i went on a google search and i saw nutrient burns where if you splash water on the leafs under a hid they can burn...well i no for a fact water got on some of the leafs and they are under a 1000w hps right now. so that is possible right i never thought to wipe it off. but this is just a possible diagnosis.

Thats a very smart question, I'l subscribe to see if any1 can answer this one

A flush can help, but a low PH flush??? What is the PH of your runoff now??? Usually nutrients bring your PH down, so I do not see why you would flush with low PH water. Try flushing with a ph adjusted water at 6.4, and check your runoff PH. Adjust your flush to counter your high or low runoff PH.

Wait man..

I would water normal with water that is around 6.8-7.0 PH and check with PH-Meter the water that comes out from the soil under the pot. If you get low/high PH you could go from there and try to correct it.

edit; HomieHogleg was first :smokebuds:

yeah 6.4-6.8 ph just make sure u flush with atleast 2x the amount of water that your grow container is example 2gal flush with atleast 4gal ph'd water

I think trial is the best way.. It would be anorthodox to ph-lock your plant, with photo girls it would be just looking for trouble.. but who knows! maybe you can avoid stress to your plant if you work really synchronized. But even if this tek was to work like you said my imagination tells me that it would need some time of trial and error before mastering, though it would be very interesting to do on a steady multi-crop of a certain phenotype. Just imagine being able to treat any overfeed instantly with a certain change of ph level.. Very Dr Greenthumb'ish.. I wouldn't try it my self under any other circumstances, i would just accept the small reduce in the crop.. besides, by the time you learn how and if this works you will have learned more stuff about distributing the proper nute levels..

Just a few thoughts.. peace

yeah all i have now are test strips. i know not the most reliable but its all i can afford at this time.

Thanks i had to read it twice to get it lol. Yeah i think my only risk is over watering them but right now as you say i don't have a choice so mayble flushign the hell out of them and letting em dry for a week will do the trick.

Flushing will remove the excess nutrients but if your soil pH is off, it's not going to change the pH. If I remember correctly, your pH was 8.5. If that's the case, the lockout isn't from excessive nutes but from the pH being so high. You need to add something like sulfur to your soil to lower it's pH.
