Anyone know what I should do ???
If ur ph is out then ur plant wont be able to absorbe nutrients, it looks defficient in either n or mg, however you may not have a deffeciency and the ph could just be out. Check and fix ur ph first then start looking for other causes.
Ok I'm getting ready to do some gardening today hydro pebbles came but
still no digital meter just test strips for now lowest ph on test strip is 6.8

Ur ph needs to be set to 5.6 at this stage in hydro, 6.8 is WAY too high. Check my profile page i have a nessage on there from seymour buds regarding ph. Have a look at that as it helped me get my issues sorted out
Thanks man going to change out my water and see if I can bring it down atleast below 6 should I still give nutes for foliar feeding ?
I cant see your pic sorry but when i first started i had a $100 ph metre which was inaccurate and caused alot of confusion. To solve my ph issue i went out and bought the bluelab combo metre (like $300) and followed seymours technique and didnt have a problem after that.
Also i dont foliar feed so i cant answer your question regarding that sorry.
From what has been explained to me you need a ph of 5.6 - 5.7 during veg and 5.8 - 6.0 during flowering.
If your using a resurculating system u will have ph fluctuation and not really know where its coming from which is why i use single bucket.
I suggest head over to seymour buds grow journals and have a read through those, he has some pretty good ph information on those and im really just telling u what he has said.

Here are a couple updated pics ph meter should b here mon along with my 400 watt hps and mh
Don't over think the ph. While it is important, keeping it withing the total range is more important. I kept my res between 5.8 and 6.2 thru out my grow and i had absolutely no issues ever! keep the res between these numbers and you'll be fine. Otherwise you'll find yourself spending too much time trying to fine tune the ph. you can see mine here:
