Guys I need some help ASAP! I've kinda neglected my grow journal cuz of this issue. I dunno what the hell is going on but I gotta figure this out. I'm growing narcotic kush, feeding botanicare veg nutes. I'm at day 33, and my girl stretched like crazy, and has very little foleage. This problem is only getting worse. Almost every new growth leaf has yellow tips, and the older fan leaves have rusty spots. The ph of the water is about 6.3, and the run off is about 7. What am I dealing with here and how can I fix this problem!? She's in promix soil and the nutes are mixed with regular tap water. I've done 4 other grows with this same set up, nutes, soil, lights... And never had any of these problems. I'm thinking this girl is just very finicky. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg
 
Uh your soil ph is way high (7.7), may need a flush. Lets wait for some more experience to arrive:smokebuds:
A mod might want to put this post in the infirmary so you get some attention.

:peace:Good luck
 
Bud I moved your thread to the infirmary, should get you some more action....
 
your ph is close here a rough calc chart
by the way what type of meter do you have.


Rough Calculation Guide:
Here's some good info on ph.....
If your runoff pH is higher than your starting pH, use this equation to determine your soil pH:*
Soil pH = Runoff pH + Difference

If your runoff pH is lower than your starting pH, us this equation:
Soil pH = Runoff pH - Difference.

For example, say your the starting pH of your solution before it goes in is 6.5 and the pH of your runoff is 7.0. The difference is +0.5, so using the above equation:
Soil pH = 7.0 + 0.5*
Soil pH = 7.5

If your starting pH is 6.5 and your runoff is 6.0, your difference is -0.5 and using the above equation:
Soil pH = 6.0 - 0.5
Soil pH = 5.5

So from the looks of this, I have nutrient lock out? So how do I fix this?
I would start by flushing 2 times pot size, with ph'd water about 6. then a light feeding about 1/4 strength.....ph'd to 6. again
 
Great that's what I'll do, thank you so much! Any idea why I'm having this problem now? And I've never had an issue before?

could just be the breed some breed's are more effected by ph swing's then other's........or maybe not swing's but not being onpoint... :shrug:
