Aloha all...so I mentioned in one of my other threads, I'm growing in FFOF and Pro-mix organic potting soil (75/25 ratio). For nutrients I'm using Roots Organic liquid Buddha grow for vegging and Buddha Bloom later for flowering.

So heres my dilemma...when I mix nutes, I start with ph water of about 6.0-6.5...the nutes drop my ph to about 4.0-4.5. (PPM is about 600)

I read you should let nutes sit for 24hrs so I did, and ph never changed...first batch got poured out because I was worried about the amount of ph up I had to add just to get the ph to even start going up. (Blue liquid kind)

Then since I never got any replies, I gave my girls a new batch of nutes without adjusting ph...because I seen more arguments for organic soil being able to adjust the ph where it needs it.

Now after only 1 serving of nutes, I see some very very slight coloring on one or two leaves that supposedly means ph fluctuation???...plus alot of the tips are browning ( very very tip)

Please, can help?...anyone???

You shouldn't have to worry about ph when your using organic nutes. I use Gen Org and I never even check my ph. make sure you are using a cal-mag supplement with yor reg nutes.The spots on you girls aren't that bad and could be the start of a cal def.
