New Grower 70 day old assorted auto flowers ,weres my buds please help(pics)

If your run off pH is indeed that much lower than the feed pH, then it's very likely your nutrients are being locked out and unavailable to the plant. Give us some accurate pH readings and post some pictures taken in natural light so we can see the true color of the leaves.


i will do it today muddy thanks .. i catch the water running off from my plants and ph that , correct?

Correct. Record the ingoing pH and the run off both.
 
Hi my friend! She's looking healthy for the most part, but your smart growing friend couldn't be any wronger with those will
be done in a weeks time, they look like they just started really kick into flowering mode... Def you sounds like you have ph lock out and the plants are starving and cannabilizing on themselves. If possible try to get a more accurate ph reading of in and run off also I periodically will give a plant In bloom some grow nutes (nitrogen) during flowering, as some plants seem to need a little more :) sending a :karma Cloud: of :gthumb: your ladies way!
 
ok guys pics coming this afternoon . wife totaled my truck so kinda crazy around here .. when i fed last night the ph was closer to 7 ish light neon green and the runoff was like bright yellow urine so 6.o or less i presume .. wish i would have bought a good ph meter before starting . i fed them a lil more than 1\4 teaspoon of bloom nutes with a lil micro for nitrogen and 1\4 teaspoon of beasty blooms .. what can i do with no money to fix this issue so i can salvage what buds i have already growing ?

thanks for the help

here are two of my ladies after i feed them last night that coloration happened by the bud on the leaves plus i see a little more burn than normal on the leaf tips .

​were do i go from here to salvage what i have ?

Feeding at 7 and getting run off of 6 means your actual soil pH is lower, around 5. If you look at this chart you can see that at a pH of 5 all but a couple trace elements are unavailable to the plant. So basically it's starving which is causing all the discolored leaves. The only way to fix this is to raise the pH of your soil by adding lime. Dolomite lime is commonly available and can be mixed into the top layer of soil at the rate of 1 tablespoon per gallon of soil mix. Unfortunately it's slow acting and you won't start to see the pH rise for about 2 weeks. Hydrated lime is faster acting but can be toxic to the plant if given at too high a rate. If you can find some of it, add 1 tablespoon to a gallon of pH balanced water and feed it to the plant. Only feed the hydrated lime one time. Next grow, if you plan to continue using FFOF, add dolomite lime to the mix before you plant.

Is lime rite ok to use during flowering? If so how do I mix it into my soil ? My girls are in 3 gallon pots with ffof and light warrior . I'm having nitrogen problems and I think it's from the ph issue I'm having. Will this lime rite work fast on my ph problem. Please explain how this stuff works
