mouse attack,the next saga

Seem too have stopped the mice.but was checking my plant over,just à general health check and noticed that one of my leaves was dark green on 1half and the other bit was light green a few more had yellow marks,my first thought was too much nutes or too little nutes.someone with à lot more knowledge than this first grow newbie may be able too help me.the only nutes it has is tap water that has been left in a 2 litre pop bottle,i have à proper feed someone gave me as à présent but it is called IONIC hydro grow,but havnt usés it as i didnt know If it would be ok in soul,,will send pics of what it Looks like and If i can use in soil and perlite in a large cuillers bucket with loads of holes in bottom

first check the ph of the runoff. should be 5.5 - 6.5. Correct if needed. It looks typical of a calcium or iron maybe magnesium deficiency. This could be caused if the ph was unstablel/ high or low and the plant couldn't uptake the nutes it needed. if you have any calmag additive, mix and water appropriately. If you don't have an additive, you might be able to help/cure with epsom salt. I would bet on ph though. Are you using tap water/RO water?? Tap can cause some problems if not monitored

do you have a way to check ph?

No,but i get paid on tuesday,and as money is short i have worked out i will have £40.00 spare will that be enough too buy a ph tester,I am really new too growing my first time.and having read all the threads on nutes and ph,have just got more confused.If i can afford one can you talk me through how too use it.my baby was looking amasing would be devastated If i lost her.

Well we'll try check on ebay if you don't have a locale place to purchase a ph meter. That should be more than enough for a simple one. Mine was 10 or 12 bucks....so that's like 20 or so GBP I think? You should pick up a small bottle of the 7.0 or 7.01 calibration solution so that you can calibrate the ph meter. You should have enough for both.

Honestly they're not looking too bad. The color variation could have been caused from a fluctuation of the ph as it looks like it might be growing out of it.

Hit up youtube. There are plenty of example video's on how to calibrate and use the ph meter. peace

well I went the wrong way on the money conversion thing but anyway you should have plenty.
