yeah soil is too acidic which prob means over fert.


i wouldnt have gone with the feeds up to 3 months food, i used that my plants were fine at first then they eventually got owned (due to serious over fert spraying during the day when the lights were on, which is just stupid.)

and over watering too probably, i wouldnt be spraying my plants "several" times a day.

Couple of things: Hydrogen peroxide is a fancy chemical name for bleach, and your pH (in my opinion and experience) is if anything too alkaline (high). I keep it slightly acidic as I read this increases likelihood of females. I got 7 fems out of 12 so maybe right! Lay off the foliar watering for a while, and use your finger not a moisture meter to decide when to water - stick it in about 2 inches deep, and if soil still feels moist there, don't water. Good luck buddy

What should the PH of my soil be? anyways to lower it/raise it?
Your ph is fine, ideally it should be around 6.5, but 7 is still good.

Your problem is over-watering. Foliar spraying the plants simply adds to the overwatering problem, no wonder they look so forlorn.

Learn and understand how to water correctly, learn how to implement the wet/dry cycle and judge this by the weight of the pot - that will prevent you from over-watering them.

Stop adding nutrients - at this stage they shouldn't need any.

A bleach is anything which 'bleaches' something and usually refers to a mixture as in domestic bleach. There are other types of bleach too such as hairdressing bleach which uses H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) as a 'bleaching agent'. Lots have chemicals have other names depending on their intended application. It's like saying acetone is simply a fancy name for nail varnish remover when it has other uses such as the manufacture of plastics or in drugs.
