Man I can’t thank you enough for giving me this info , and yes that’s exactly what mine looks like other than the yellowing of the leaves . Question ? Will she survive or should I just start over again ? What’s the best way to raise the ph at this time into this grow or is it even possible?
You can get some smoke off them, just make sure you keep an eye on PH and keep in mind runoff PH is very neglible idea of the rootzone since your measuring what is coming out of the pot vs what's left in the pot.
Say my runoff pH is 5.0 and I want my pH to be 6.0 I will feed a 7.0 solution to hit 6.0 then feed 6.0 then on unless I notice another issue. This is what I like to call the pH Dance. A quality growing medium will make this unnecessary. If your in containers and not fertigating a few times a day then its really important to have a well buffered growing medium, ProMix HP-CC seems to hold stable pH for me in 5 gal pots feeding once a day. In Coco/Perlite I am having problems with pH crashing down to low 5s and this is because it is inert medium with no dolomite lime etc to neutralize excess acid..
This is primarily an issue because I am unable to use my well water cause the poor quality so I have to use RO filtered water which has no calcium, silicates or minerals in it.
Are you feeding any nutrients that have Manganese in it? The plants usually need a pretty small amount of it.
