What is wrong with my plants?

[Tetra9]

My tap water had a big swing up in PH (7.2-7.5) and I think it did this to my plants - they are 15 days old. I think the high PH locked out my Calcium and another nute or two, and I may have over watered a bit, but I'd like someone to confirm my suspicions - or correct me if I'm wrong. Is the size fairly on pace for their age? Any help would be hugely appreciated I'm worried sick.

Are you cutting those? Looks like some sort of deficiency. Not sure which though. Someone with more knowledge will be by soon enough, once they put the pipe down!

the 7+ ph reading,is that off the run off?if not,you need to test the water in soil or in reservoir if its a smart watering pot.

No that is just the water, not the run off.

What soil and are you feeding nutes - if so what and in what amount?

I don't grow in soil but I do hang out with some commercial med growers who do soil. Most of them follow the KISS method with soil. Usually when you try messing with pH it does more harm than good. You can make sure what you're putting in is a proper pH but runoff pH isn't too accurate sometimes. The acid in the pH stuff doesn't always agree with the soil and it's microbes either.

Depending on your soil and all that I'd say just water as normal, pH the water if you want (with the nutrients if you add them - though it looks a bit early) and it should correct itself.

The new growth all looks OK and that's what's important.

Like I said though, soil isn't much my forte' anymore but Ill try to assist where I can! Someone else may do you better.

Good luck!

I am using MG premium potting soil - 0,21% N, 0,07% P, and 0,14% K - the only variable that's changed from my past successful grows is my waters PH level. Unless MG has varying ph levels in there soil, but from what I understand and have read, their always in the cannabis friendly zone.......

Thanks a million for answering!

It looks like over watering... I've had it happen on occasion. Let them get fairly dry and resume feeding and watering 'sparingly' till they become vigorous again. IMHO [emoji41]

I thought the same thing but with only 3 grows I didn't want to give bad advice I have experience with over watering tho and it can look like a straight up nute deficiency yellow leaves ,and spots

Glad you said it - I had honestly considered that as a factor - thank you very very much! You the man Rhyce !
