Ph problems

OlskoolNCstarted grow question 4 years ago

I seem to be having some ph issues with my first organic grow. Can anyone tell me how to raise my ph without killing off my microbes?

What is your water source? Typically I find that the gallon jugs of spring water or filtered water has a high ph of 8-9 - so you can try that method to raise your pH as a quick easy first step.

Just feed with pH 7 water until the pH gets to where you want it. If your runoff pH is less than 5, I recommend flushing with pH 7 water to bring it up quicker.

Older/lower leaves yellowing and wilting. Assuming N deficiency? Present from late veg/early flower but not accelerating or slowing down. Also observing small black/brown spots near veins on the same yellow leaves. Assuming P deficiency? Present recently, treated with Mammoth P.

From the end of last week all the plants started showing problems, this one got yellow on lower leaves with brown stains or spots, see the picture. Could it be RH related?

I'm thinking of cal-mag def, mixed with other trace elements such as Mn, now followed with phosphorus (red-purplish stems), maybe even potassium? combined with too small pot (somekind of root problem?), more info in my last diary log. tnx community!

I've recently switched to 12/12 and because of the temps where I live I have opted for lights on 10pm to 10am, now just a quick question, during uninterrupted darkness would me briefly opening the tent to water badly disrupt this? Using my phone light to water the plants?

I’m referring to the last 3 pictures in week 7. Those leaves are near the bottom of the plant, not getting enough light. I thought they’d yellow gracefully before finally crisping up and fall off. But these are dying gruesomely. Is this normal, or a nute issue? What’re those?

So, something has happened, thinking it's either a nute lock or cal-mag deficiency so thinking a flush and then no nute feed with cal-mag. Should I be worried? Is this at all save-able? I fed them with bites about 4days ago. Really don't know what to do

I have noticed some slight leaf damage on Day 4. Leaves have been curling down for a few days, but I have now noticed spots. I wonder what could be causing this?

One of the 4 is drooping but only in the afternoon a few hours before the lights cut out. In the morning she isn't drooping anymore. Normal behavior or odd? She looks normal otherwise. Considering a flush this week. Thoughts? I'm definitely not over/underwatering.

Two of my plants are showing some kind of deficiency or lockout. I’ve checked for pests extensively. I think it’s calcium or nutrient lockout. I’ve had issues with them having high PPM on the runoff. I’ll attach pictures to my week 10. Can someone help identify this?

My upper leaves? Is this light scald? Or a nutrient imbalance? This has been coming on over the last week. The older shaded fan leaves appear healthy. Also the one bud on the far leftside, furthest from the light is less affected. Her tent mate gets the same light and nutrients.😕

There seems to be some paleness/yellowing on the upper growth. Upper leaf tips are slightly curling upwards and show some dark purple color. Last week runoff PPM was hovering around 1150-1250, so I'm dialing it down closer to 1000 ppm this week. Too much nutes or light intensity?
