Soil PH Issues!
Liam_2020started grow question 4 years ago
Started seeing some deficiencies in my plants mainly burnt tips and edges and yellowing...thought nute burn BUT after checking my soil run off the pH was 5.3!
Tap water is 6.8 but what I didn’t realise was after adding nutes it was 5.5! Am I best now flushing with 6.8 tap water?

Hey Mate,
Should be no Problem if it was just once. The soil should puffer that Peak.
Better too low than too high.
Follow your feeding/watering Regime @ pH of 6.5 max.
That should do the job.
Good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way 🤞

Hey mate,
one thing left.
Go and create a diary of your grow and track all your set up, feedings etc.
It's so much easier to help when necessary Information is given! Thx Pal.

You'd be best buying a couple gallons of distilled water and using that to flush. Otherwise, feed with pH'd water only until your pH stabilizes. I dont think you have to do a full on flush but you could.

Low PH runoff, dealing with deficiency due to low soil PH. Added lime and PH went from 5.4 to 5.0 after watering. How to raise it safely and quickly?I have been dealing with a nutrient deficiency so added nutrients.It looked ok but then got a bit worse and I took some runoff readings which were 5.4 and then 5.0 the next week after adding lime to raise soil PH. How can I best raise the soil Ph being that I added lime already.

Not sure about deficiency, thought was Calcium or Magnesium but not sure anymore.The nutrient deficiency is back so I gave it another double dose of CalMag to see if that can stop it in its tracks but I am not positive if that is the specific problem. Added micronutrients mix as well to see if maybe that helps. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Add CalMag or Manganese? Still slightly discolored and veiny leaves on week 6Calcium or Manganese deficiency? Last week had what I thought was early calcium deficiency. Gave it a dose of CalMag but now not sure if it’s still Calcium or possibly Manganese.
I do mean manganese but I realize it could be a CalMag or Manganese deficiency as well.

Brown spots on leavesWhat seems to be the problem with my plant? The old leaves get brown spots whereas the newer ones have yellow edges. Is it a pH issue?
Is there a fix to this?
I grow in soil and the plant is 4-5 weeks old.
Thanks for help!

Whats going on?So.. 6th week into it. My leaves have various brown spots and yellowing spots in no particular spot. There is some browning on leaf edges. Also tips are up. I am thinking cal mag and to much heat. But not sure. I lifted light up and so far nothing. Also started adding cal mag .

Possible pH issue.(15th photo) I've a few leaves which are not looking the best. Does this look like a pH problem or does anybody have other info? I have dropped a bit of lemon into this plant which is the only one with this issue which has not touched the other 2 plants under the same regime. Tx

Possible toxicity or deficiency?I saw this on one of my bottom leaves this morning. Hopefully someone can give insight of what it might be. I'm concerned that it is phosphorous deficiency. I didn't notice it a day ago, but I wasn't looking closely. 2 days ago I watered her (540 mL, 1/4 tsp nutrients). Thoughts?
