15) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate?
my runoff ph is always too high. 7.0-7.4
16) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph?*
first two waterings I didnt have ph pen. Last 3 were ph 6.5, 6.1, 5.6 in.. and runoff is always 7.0-7.4
17) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray?

bagseed. Seems sativa dom.
23) Is this an photoperiod strain?
yea
*24) How old is the plant?
like 50 days
25) In what life-cycle is it? Vegetative, pre-flowering, flowering, rippening?
its in veg I dont wanna flower it until I sort out issues
26) From seeds or clones?
seed
Whew... thats too many questions..
Anyways, my runoff is 7+ everytime regardless wat ph I water with. Had some brown spotting, purple stems/branches, had some leaves yellow w spots then tips curled up n dried the whole leaf crispy. Some of the side branching seems to have uneven growth like on budsites one new leaf will be bigger than the other. Plant as a whole is not yellow but its not dark green either. More of a light green. Some of the fans and secondary? Leaves have brown tips and spots on the margins?.. its 8" tall 10" wide and smells wonderful though. Any help is appreciated
