Damnit do I wish that was the problem....

I actually turn my lights off during the day and on at night. the coldest I see is 70 during the day... At night it is 80-82

Just to repost this from the problems thread....

hmmm....

possible it is rootbound.....

BUT I just checked out my meter. it has been reading the R/O water we get in our 5 gal jugs from the guy down the street at 5.8 to 6.0 since we started growing in this area.... Recently my girlfriend started commenting on how the water is around 7.

I checked out the water tonight... It read 8.3.

Calibrated my hanna grocheck combo and found that my ph 4 probe has been reading way low. Which doesn't make much sense, because I corrected it and found it reading my R.O. Water at 5.8 dead on.

Which means the past two teas I have made were off the charts acidic. I was getting a reading of 8.3 on my tea and correcting down to what I thought was 6.3.

Should i be administering dolomite lime with watering? Should I check my runoff water before I make any decisions for treatment? Perhaps a foiliar spray in the meantime?

Drumsinttown..... With water that low (pH wise), your plants have been in shock. The key now, is to bring them back slowly, over a few days - to prevent further shock.
.
Mix up some dolimite lime water, keep the TDS as low as possible and try for a pH of 7. Flush with this mix, double the volume of soil in the pots. Wait two days, then only plain water (with a pH range of 6.5 to 7). Wait two days, and give them a very weak feeding. They will bounce back, but lost leaves, well are lost leaves.
.
I've got a bud, who lost half a sweet crop once, because his 3 way constant read meter - was telling him wrong. Count yourself lucky, some fans leaves are not really that big a loss - when you consider what could have happened - if you hadn't caught it.
.
Hope this helps....
Keep it Real....Organic....

Just finished up my nightly rounds.

Mixed up a solution of dolomite lime and hormex.
Tested it on one plant and collected the runoff. Tested 1600 ppm and 6.9 ph. Went ahead and applied the same to everybody except the sour kush who for whatever reason seem to be peachy .

The yellowing is going away, but the leaves seem to be continuing.... however at a lesser rate than before. Hoping that the hormex gives it a little help.

Crossing my fingers... if nothing else, I should get a decent few oz off that sour kush. That plant is quite the keeper. Not too sure if i'm gonna go with the c4 again. Gotta wait it out and see.

What kind of fan do you have on the light? I have a 6 inch air cooled hood with a 4x4 scrog 600w. with a 6 inch inline fan that light can be 10-12 inches away. I have the same temps where i am at too.

Hey gman... check the dates. Aside from you and I, the last post was almost 2 years ago. I don't think you'll be getting an answer.
