Soil PH Issues!

Liam_2020started grow question 6y 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 🤞 Servus OimRausch✌️

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.

Grey leaf tips Booth plants are showing some kinds of burn and I am not sure if it is nutrient burn or light burn or if there is something missing. Looks a bit like MG deficite but shouldn't the plant take that from the soil in that state and age?
