I don't see that one listed on their web site. Regardless, it looks like the don't incorporate any lime into their products and without any, there's a good possibility that your soil pH is off. We'll know for sure once you get the run off reading.

MJ grown in soil likes to go through wet/dry cycles. Get a feel for how heavy your pot feels when it's almost completely dry and only water when it feels that way. Then give enough so the whole pot is watered and you get that 10% run off.

Tested my run off and it was really really low, I was using a test water test kit that changes color and it was really red. Im leaving out of the country tomorrow and want to get this dealt with before I leave the plants in my friends hands, So How do I get the soil PH higher??

I'm not surprised it was low. You will need to add some dolomite lime, or garden lime as it's sometimes called to your soil at the rate of 1 tablespoon per gallon of soil. Mix it into the top layer of the soil and water it in. Just don't expect to see any immediate results. Lime takes about 2 weeks to become effective. Also raise the pH of your feeds to help offset the low soil pH.

Would that fix it?

Someone told me clip those branches with those damaged leaves is that smart?

Follow muddies advice. I have the exact same looking leaves. I waited to long to feed and had that problem. If you don't get your ph fixed they will continue to do that along with your plants may be hungry. Next time I grow I am going to use the lime. My plants are flowering and I still have those same looking leaves as you do. You can compare if need be. As for the trimming the leaves I leave them there until they are almost dead. If someone with way more experience says trim them then do it. It's a learning curve just make sure you don't get stressed like I did. Good luck with your grow. If you get the leaves to stop doing that shoot me a message and let me know how you did it please.

The added lime won't fix those leaves but once the pH is right, it will stop it from happening on other leaves. As long as they still have a lot of green, leave them.

okay tomorrow im getting some dolomite lime. I'm using the general organics go box if you're familiar with that. Anything in there you suggest me using?

Still no lime added and this is what its looking like. I feel bad for not giving her anything yet

Get the lime in as soon as you can as it takes about 2 weeks to become effective. As long as it's still low, giving more nutrients won't help and in fact could hurt. The plant can't up take them and they will build up in your soil.
