Incorrect ph
BraveheartGeneticsanswered grow question 5y ago
Hey man, good luck with your grow. I've bought a couple of ph testers. My first was just litmus paper. The calibration tests I did showed great results. Changed colour well with bleach and vinegar. But when testing my water, the results were difficult to determine. Not wanting to waste any more time and money on other like types I bought a digital one. Only cost me £10 from amazon. Cheap and does the job. Fairly accurate and had a much better experience. I suggest you do this rather than rely on colour charts. They can be unreliable ✌️

I would assume so. That is what those tests do. If in doubt do it again .

Slight leaf tip "burn"What do you think is causing this burn on my leaves? It seems to be quite common. and maybe nothing to worry about if it's this minute. but I would prefer to not burn my plants at all if possible. Could it be a sign of underwatering? Light distance? i have a dimmer keepin at 10002y ago

2 autos with crispy feeling sad looking leaves, how can I help them? (more info in diary pl & crit)2 of my autos have been growing leaves that feel crispy and look deformed. I have been watering when the top 5 cm of the soil dries, but I fear maybe I fed them too much nutrients. The temp has also been on the high side (30C 80F). What could be wrong and what can I do for them?Leaves. Curl up

Yellow spots nute difficiency? Light burn?I noticed spots on both LB and NL that seem look like nute deficiency, my best guess is cal. I will check pH of soil runoff at next watering to eliminate lockout as a possibility. I've heard FFOF soil runs out in about 4 weeks, maybe that? Light burn from water drops on leaves?Week 4

Leaf tips yellowing. Overwatering? Or nute burn?I recently flushed my soil with water that was PH 7 (my soil was a bit too acidic). My question is: are the yellow tips and browning due to the overwatering from the flush? As well as stripping the soil of its calcium? Thinking of giving them 3-4 days before watering with calmagLeaves. Color - Yellow
