Ph issues

It's probably not even ph, it looks over fed to me. When my ph drifts too high mine seem to fade to yellow.
I didn't consider over fed. True story is I started 3 tangerine dream and 1 alien dawg (I think) the alien dawg was a freebie and in never sure what to expect. ( I do my research on the ones I order) one didn't make it and I didn't label them yet. I was pretty sure my batboy farm genetics made it and the freebie died but in starting to wonder since only 1 plant is having the issue. It's also the last in the line up before the water gets pumped back to the res. My ppm is at 500 week 2 of flower. I try going way low for fear of burn. I think most people say around 1000 ot 1200. IDK. I'm gonna keep pushing it because they look really good with buds starting right on time. Thanks again to all

Thanks for your unsolicited inaccurate opinion.
And there’s more of your signature sarcasm. I’m not backing up to confirm, but I thought you said 5.2. So maybe I’m wrong. You just can’t move along without being a jerk, can you? OP called you shithead. Now that’s harsh. I wouldn’t call you shithead.

Yes, you were wrong.
When I'm misquoted by someone......I call them out on it.
You just can't mind your own business, can you?

Hey shithead if you have a problem with having a conversation about growing...go somewhere else. We are all here to learn and if that scale of yours works for you and that's your bible talking then get off my question . If you think a ph swing wont burn plants you have a lot to learn. And yes so will high nutrient levels. Why do you want to sling mud on my question if your so damn smart and are on this site share your knowledge
You want to be the big guy...Beat it!..Jerk. no time for games . Being that does not make you better a growing it makes you kinda look like an ass but thank you ...again for your help...SMH oh and by the way I was asking a question ..looking for insight not judgement or criticism. Good job dude you are that guy that starts crap for no damn reason..
Wish we could downvote. Would downvote this.

fixxed it for you.
I'm gonna keep pushing it because they look really good with buds starting right on time, at least till I screw things up and burn the shit out of my plants. Thanks again to all.

Raise the ppm up slowly, like a hundred a week max if they look good. My rule of thumb is not to go over but a couple hundred more than the wattage of your lights. If you run a 1000 watt hps then only push them to 1200 and that's in heavy flower with healthy plants. Led light? then the equivalent to what an hps light is.
fwiw

Possible calcium deficiency?
I did think of that..I added a correction dose of cali magic. No change noted. I have well water that co.es out at a ph of 8 and ppm of about 50. I adjust the ph to roughly 6.5 or 7 before adding ph perfect and now I am coming out at 5.8 and 6 ph. Very well could be that strain is asking for more calcium. Ty!

1st I have heard of the watts to ppm. I will def consider that as a top. I. Running x2 450 maxsisun led and x1 600 watt maxsisun led. Thanks for the feedback and advice..it will be used.

Dont miss the point here seriously shithead is not that harsh and I wasn't trying to prove my grow skills ..I was looking for help with an issue and it gets muddled up by people's egos getting in the way trying to power trip. I have been growing for 5 years and have done pretty well. I have avoided joining these sites because of this reason . That said I thought I would go for it and immediately I'm getting shade. This sucks . Everyone has good input but no one can admit they are wrong or when others have good ideas. I think I will go back to the sidelines..good lick to you guys

I know how calcium is corrected..how is phos corrected
add a little more I guess.

Usually a macro nute is in the nutes you use if you use bottle nute is in enough amounts. FDepends on the brand and ratio I guess.
Most deficiencies that show up are old and then it appears to the grower, and in all actuality it has been there for weeks.
Mostly due to a small fast growing plant that hasnt really had time to establish roots and then the grower doesnt feed it anything but water kind of situation. most times.

This isnt to be confused with doing something like foliar feeding at too high of a ppm and your shit is jacked up in two days kind of thing, thats different.

Magron, easy cowboy. That is, if you read this, because you have threatened to leave in a huff over something minor, and I hope you decide to stick around. I too have found responses aggravating. But I’m here to:
- Learn
- Teach
- Entertain myself
- Hopefully entertain others

When you post a topic and ask a question, the process of fielding responses from stoned people is a bit of a mine field. Glean what you can, share a laugh, since we can’t actually share a smoke, and make the best of it.
When I told (sorry sir, can’t recall your handle and I’m not scrolling back NickFoster? ) that I wouldn’t call him a shithead even tho you did, that is a joke. I’m calling him a shithead. He knew it and HE laughed. But you, sir, sound perhaps a bit too earnest to mingle with the likes of a global, stoned audience, and find the occasional discordant discourse distasteful. I don’t believe anyone here is dangerously malicious, but people are people. What do you expect?
I apologize for having given you the impression my ego interfered with your inquiry. Just having fun, sir.
Please don’t stress too much over pH. It’s a pretty big acceptable range.
Enjoy the process. Enjoy your harvest.
