I'm not about to just start over..... yet. surely there must be a way I can correct a pH issue. The plants are already a month into veg, I'm sure they wont be the healthiest but I'm hoping I can at least get them to bud after all the effort and time I've put into this so far.

My plants have serious pH issues.. they are month old today and growing slowly, dying from the bottom up. I tested the runoff and it was 4.0 the plants are showing it too, leaves are curling at the tips, new growth is coming in twisted, pale greenish yellow, droopy, and ripping itself, but...

My runoff water is pretty clear, and when the liquid test turns bright orangish red, its not hard to read it at all. I've got the pH600, calibrated it before use both times I used it. I also kept it stored in tap water. It always reads the calibration solution perfectly as 7.01 but apparently...

I've learned to read the plants leaves and the weight of the pots. I dont typically give them a lot of water (but they wilt if I give them any amount).. i just FLUSHED them, and this is the second time i've had to do this all ready, last time I flushed they wilted for a very long time and took...

yea.. well heres what they look like now after the flush plus first nute feeding.. they wilt for a long time when I give them a lot of water. i gave them 2tsp of grow big after I finished flushing them. the run off water during flushing was still much too low of a pH.. i hope proper waterings...

Will the soil pH correct itself with time and properly pHed waterings?? I just flushed the plants pretty good but the runoff is still very low pH. I am sure I leeched all the nutes out of the soil too, and I've never fed them any nutrients before because from early on they had yellow tips from...

I already did this.. I sure hope they dont get root rot, those pots are DRENCHED with properly pHed water (well its certainly higher pH.. its hard to tell with the liquid kit) The pots probably wont dry out for over a week under my 250w MH. I dont know the exact pH of the water I flushed with...

yea I calibrated it. with 7.1 solution, I even checked before watering with the solution to make sure it was still calibrated, and it was.. but apparently its only accurate with the solution.. I was told by the guy at my hydro shop I can just store it in tap water just to keep it wet (I didnt...

So i got this meter a few days ago.. and I immediately noticed that I had to add a LOT more pH down to my water to get it to read in the 6.0-7.0 range than I was when I was using the liquid test (i was adding one drop with the liquid test, with the meter i was having to add about 10 drops to a...

Something ate one of my plants up pretty bad, so I started keeping an eye out for bugs. My plants are in FFOF indoors. I discovered tons of white flies when I hit my plants hard with a fan, they came flying out like a cloud. I also noticed that they are in the soil, if I stir the soil up, the...

anybody? someone has to have dealt with these before.. I ran a search but as usual.. everyone has different ways of dealing with it.

Is my plant is being eaten by something?.. I can't see anything on the bottom of the leaves with a magnifying glass. The holes started very small at the base of the leaves and as they grew, so did the holes. There aren't too many new holes but I do see some small ones forming on some of the...

that thing is tiny! I'm no expert but I know enough to say that you could probably saturate the cup its in and it wouldnt need water for 2 weeks. Make sure there is a fan blowing the air around but not directly on the seedling as it WILL dry out the leaves, you wanna see the seedling twitching...

aww dont hate your pet, it doesnt know any better and is just being an animal! my cat always tries desperately to get into my grow space but I won't let her. They are curious and love plants of all types (cannabis plants are poisonous to cats) Your plant will be fine, leaves get ripped/torn...

bumping my own thread =/ I also noticed that the leaves were extremely dry to the touch. I think my fan was blowing on them too much, I stuck a humidifier in the grow area and I'm gonna bring the humidity up a little bit. I also pointed the fan towards the light so it isnt blowing directly on...
