Greetings everyone. I growing a auto NL in soil and my lady is not doing so good and she needs a doctor asap :P 1 week ago i noticed that my plant was hungry, i was feeding her normally, but she didn't eat. Thought in nutrient lock out, I was right the ph of the soil is something like 5.5. I bought distilled water and a PH up. What should i do? Just flush the soil with plain distilled water or should i add some PH up to the nute solution? The plant is already very yellow in bottom and she is in middle of flowering phase, i need a fast and responsive solution :/. vary appreciated Peace:peace:
 
If she needs some nutes just mix ph up with them and try and hit 6.4 or 6.5 for your intake water.
 
Show us a pic my friend so we can diagnose a bit better :Sharing One:
 
Right now, the only camera i got is from my cellphone (bad quality), i know photos are important for a good diagnosis, but just want to be sure i dont need to flush and wait till the soil dry out for feed again. thanks doc's :D
 
You say you need a fast and responsive solution yet you tell us nothing.

How old ?

What soil ?

What lights ?

What nutes ?

When did you start the nutes ?

How much did you start her on ?

How can you demand instant help without letting us know even one basic fact about your grow ?
 
iam sorry if i sounded like that, i just dont know how to treat ph problems (never had before). From what i get, the flush in this case is not necessary, and the ph up will do the job gradually. i can give some info ofc.
Age- 7weeks
Soil- Biobizz All Mix
Lights- 100w CFL
Nutes-BB grow,BB blo0m, BB alg a mic, Bio Nova MG0
Started nutes in 3rd week
Started half a dosage recomented and builded it up.
 
Sorry if i sounded snappy, bit of a bad night!

Biobizz all mix is fairly hot so you're right to start nutes 3rd or 4th week, dosage sounds good too.

The soil should really buffer the Ph anyway.

Can you say which one in this picture your deficiency looks most like (i know it's ahrd coz lots of them look fairly similar) :

oh man, we all have these days, how that sucks :(
Well in terms os defs i see brown/dark sppoting, that i assume is cal, and the plant have the lower fan leaves yellow, the top cola leaves are really good looking. Lower stems are purple/reddish. the flowers seems fine and frosty. Another important info: I am dumb, and i was been watering with a bottled 6.0 ph water. I assume that, the soil is an Value of PH that phosphorus/Nitrogen and cal/mag is lockout right now. For Cal/Mg i should be good, weekly fed 1 dose of Bio Nova MG and mixed some eggshells, and for NPK Grow and Bloom always did the job. I think is too soon for the fan leaves die, that is evolving too fast :no: Man thank you very much for help me out mate, Peace!
