fixing nute lockout

BDar_medicinestarted grow question 4 years ago
Looks like my harelquin and dance world plants have nut lockout due to low ph. I have been using liquid dolimite lime for the past 4 days. The symptoms are not getting better. The cheap ph meter indicates a ph of 5. What's the best way to fix this?

Flush flush flush. Damage is done and leaves won't recover. But can stop it from spreading further. Use proper ph water till desired ph is in run off. Replacing any nutrition along the way. Always have a 20 percent run off and test ph of end part of run off. The run off washes salts out of soil which will spike your ph down if they build up. Chemicals used to grow leave salts behind. So have to keep pushing the old out when you add new. Good luck and happy growing

The dolomite lime is a good option for raising the pH levels and if it doesn't help then increase the amount by 20% until good results show! You can also try adding baking soda to your solution to increase the pH! A Calcium/Magnesium additive may also help in increasing the pH levels of your solution and soil! Don't forget to water with at least 20-30% runoff and check the runoffs' salinity (EC) and pH levels to determine your soil condition! And what your plant is suffering from is most likely Phosphorous (P) and some light Potassium (K) deficiencies! probably due to the acidic soil/solution so fix that and stay with your current dosage, if the problem persists after fixing the pH then increase your PK additives (usually the bloom/flower fertilizers) Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)
