What’s this issue?

Hi to all you helpful pals!

The forums have helped me several times, but I can’t find similar issue related to what I have going on with one of my strains - Critical Orange Punch from DP. This is my 3rd grow. I’m not the most educated so please help! The 2 plants of that strain- started in Promix Organic seed Starter- transplanted to 2 gal with Coast of Maine super soul cut with some more seed starter (70/30 roughly). About a week ago this strain started getting leaves like this all over. Transplanted a few days ago to 5 gal fabric pots with all Coast of Maine. Went to water today and the discoloration/necrosis seems to have increased. Other strains are fine and healthy (Black DOG and GDP) and went through same process. Haven’t had any issues with other strains or grows so far. Environment/lighting/etc is on point. I’m hoping the transplant into the 5 gal with super soil will auto correct the issue? Please advise! Thanks guys!

Hope this helps. Cheers.

ph at a guess without knowing everything your doing....some strains can handle drifting ph some want it stable and spot on everytime

Thanks tiltswitch. Should I pH with Citric Acid for super soil? Was hoping the super soil would adjust it on its own, but if this strain is fragile in that regard I have no problem pHing the water if that’s what it takes.

The super soil may have some hot spots in it or that plant is just sensitive. I wouldn't stress over ph with any super soil. Who would make super soil with no lime in it???

Heard that 70’s. I’ll check back in a few days...hopefully potting up to 5 gal with fresh supersoil will help and not be and not be too strong. Fingers X’d. Appreciate the support fellas!

Me. Instead of lime I use oyster shell flour if I want to raise the pH and add Ca. And pH matters with super soil too.

If you need to lower the pH then yes citric acid is good. That's what I use as a pH down when I need to.
