I just got my meters in today. Soil pH is reading 7.5-8.0. I wasn't testing the pH of my water until now, reservoir read 8.3, applied pH down to get it to 6.7 and a ppm of 120. The ppm of the runoff for #5 was reading 1500, i flushed it down to 900. Are they locked out of nutes?

hey donnie they're showing signs of pH fluctuations as you can see from the way the leaves are burning in splotches and they're showing signs of root issues from the curl on the leaves probably from overwatering as you can see from the puffy space between the veins of the leaves. Try top watering and making sure the medium goes completely dry then water with a chelation agent like humic and fluvic acids or enzymes (optional!) to get rid of the problem roots. Stick to a strict wet dry cycle from now on and these will recover on their own in 10 days. Keep doing what you're doing keeping the pH at between 6-6.5 and the PPM decent for a small plant. Avoid flushing too many times because it can cause stress, and see if the soil got compacted maybe, give the grow bags a squeeze just to puff it up some. Hope this helps ! 🚀

hmm I have a lot of questions to help you out as best I can. Your using soil it says, what is in your soil did you mix it yourself? 7.5-8 pH is a bit high for cannabis. Your aiming for lik 6.0-6.5, But keep in mind if you are using a living soil then the biology keeps your pH where it needs to be assuming you have a proper soil mix. Your plants look a bit small for 4 weeks. Lets get your soil where it needs to be ppm of 1500 is pretty high, is this from your run off? are you feeding your plants?

@donnie700, I wrote up this example soil recipe for someone else earlier ill share it with you. This is a basic soil recipe: To make 15 gallons of soil (1/3) 5 gallons- compost/wormcastings (1/3) 5 gallons- coco coir and or peat moss (1/3) 5 gallons- aeration (perlite or popped glass) This right here will be the bulk of your soil, now you need to add your nutrients Some simple math 1 cubic foot = ~7.5 gallons---->15 gallons = 2 cubic feet Add two cups per cubic foot of lime or calcium to your soil, for this example would be 4 cups now in a 1:1 ratio mix your nutrients in a bucket EXAMPLE (fish meal, kelp meal, neam meal, crab meal) You would mix 1 cup all of those nutrients in a bucket. After you mix them together, add ~1 cup of the mix per cubic foot to your soil. For this example you would add two cups of the mix into your soil. Blend all of these ingredients together thoroughly on a tarp. Add water to it or even better compost tea as you are mixing. After finished mixing and getting it wet, your soil is almost complete. you should allow 3-4 weeks for your soil to "cook". This means letting the micro-organisms multiply and begin to break down the nutrients and organic matter. After 4 weeks there will be sufficient nutrients available for plants to immediately use. Once your plant is introduced the soil food web will be complete and everything should thrive. This is a water only soil recipe, compost tea and clean water free of chloramine is all you need to get all the way to harvest. Books: Teaming with microbes, teaming with fungi & teaming with nutrients Author of these is very smart avid gardener and cannabis advocate. If you want to understand how to grow not just pot but anything, these books will teach you how to understand soil and how it funcions. Podcasts: Cannabis cultivation & science podcast with Tad Hussey and Shaping Fire with Shango los. Both of these guys interview really smart and interesting people. You can learn a lot from listening to their conversations GL happy growing

@CRiSPrGrow, Thank you for your quick response. Im gonna let the soil dry out and get them on a strict wet/dry schedule as you recommended. What chelation agent products would you recommend?
