Well, i've been watching my plants getting worse and worse with some kind of bullshit fuckery. I decided to whip out the ol' soil pH probe and to my shock, the pH is way off!. Why.....unknown. I pH to 6.2 or 6.3 every watering. I calibrated my pH pen 2 weeks ago and it was dialed in. Some of the pots tested 5.2 pH for fook sakes! No wonder everything is going to shit lol. Bad time to have a shit slide. Well, I'll test the soil tomorrow and see what i see. In a few days I'll give plain water but i may water in a 7.5 pH and see where it settles. Really bizarre because i've been very consistent with the pH in my mixes. Today it settled at 6.1 pH (1 drop too many) I had problems with Remo nutrients in the past in RDWC but this time i was trying it in Coco to see what would happen. Hopefully i can raise it to an acceptable range next watering. What a fuck over! Today I bottom watered in 1 liter and 1 liter through the top of the soil. Hygrozyme and Hygroben were added as usual, and the Rezin was added only to 1 of each strain.Hopefully i can get the pH up sooner than later! Stay tuned for more fuck over's or resolution and recovery! Terrible time to get a pH problem. Week 5 of flower....fugggggg FEBRUARY 2, 2024 After discovering a catastrophic pH drop for reasons unknown. I have been watering in just dechlorinated tap water which naturally resides around 8.3 pH over the past 3 days. I've gotten the pH in the soil back in acceptable range. Anywhere between 5.6 and 6.4. One plant in the garden is being stubborn and won't rise above 5.0 pH so i hammered it again with 8.3 tap water. The girls seems to be perking up a bit and are less droopy and sad. Lots of damage from the out of range pH though. Hopefully they green up a little more. I just can't understand what happened with the pH getting so low. I consistently pH my watering between 6.1 and 6.3. I'm baffled.

We all get D'OH moments, I though,blamed my cheap precivia ph pen .used it for 1 grow and worked perfectly, second grow its wayyyy out and being the biggest consumer of my flowers that I've accumulated didn't think nor even worry about recalibrating it until the damage was done. Oh well, Shiite happens BUT, I'm gonna have to check my calibration every 2 weeks or so to be safe....

Very nice looking plants my friend!👏🏽 Regarding the ph issues you're having, I see that your E.C levels are very high (2.88) I've read that it can effect and change the ph in the medium, Do you water "run to waste"? That can help you clean all salts buildups in your coco... I keep my e.c very low, highest will be1.4 Good luck with your grow!🌱👍🏽

@1_Plant_Wonder, No i just flushed them at week 3 of flower. I always do. I might have just fucked up when measuring out the pH. I dunno. I've run 2300ppm in RDWC in the past. They can certainly take 1400 after a fresh flush. I don't water to run off. I bottom water 1 liter and top water 1 liter in each pot. Sometimes i water in 2 liters on top. I don't have time to jerk off with runoff. I know the flush was what altered the pH because up until then they were perky and lush. I might have been stoned and just fucked it up lol i dunno. I tested my pen today against a different pen and they were only off of each other by 0.2 pH, no big deal.

what percent is your lamp at? 50% or 100%?

@popcornsutton, At week 1 of flower? I'm not too sure. It was likely at least 80% on the dimmer
