My babies are ill...

Hey there... I just popped back in to see what other growers are suggesting for you and saw your comment... unfortunately, even if you tag someone on this page, it won't alert anyone that you've made a comment or tagged them.... There has to be a way to lower your pH, there is no water that CAN'T be lowered so I don't know what you've tried in the past that you say you can't lower it. If the issue is your tap water, then try using Spring Water - I've found that it takes FAR less pH-Down to reduce the pH of that... Normally, for MY tap water, I have to add about 30 drops of pH-Down in one gallon before the needle starts moving... so if you've tried pH-Down, then you need to increase the amount you're adding to your water... And it might take MANY gallons of water to finally bring the pH down to acceptable levels in your soil... and then it's fairly easy to maintain that level if you make sure everything you give her (water/nutes) is ph'd properly. Please feel free to DM me ... that's the little paper airplane in the bottom right hand corner or you can go to my profile and just click "chat" ....

I can't make my ph lower. It stays 7.0 whatever I do. I tried flushing, gave them sulfur in a top layer of my substrate. It does nothing. :-(

Hi, If the pH it's 7 it's a good idea to lower it. Beside that I would use only the tripart flora full schedule and stop with seaweed and PK. Tripart has it all, PK is included also. Now at this stage is all about light quantity and checking the temperature and humidity at the right level.

You're getting a potassium deficiency (and probably also a phosphorus deficiency!) here but not because they're not getting enough - it's because the plants can't get at what you're already providing because your pH is way too high for them to absorb it. You'll need to get that pH down to 6.2-6.3 pronto... I would suggest a good solid flush - 45L of water pH'd to 6.2 through the pot or until the runoff is reading pH 6.2... and then give them another couple of liters with your nutes in it.... and let them dry out. When they're dry, you can resume your normal water/feed/water routine but make sure everything you give them is pH'd to 6.2... and keep that pH going through to harvest. The leaves that are showing those deficiencies are not going to repair themselves so don't expect that... but you shouldn't see a progression of the symptoms after a couple of days... Good luck! Good luck - and I know you'll have a much better New Year's Eve once this is taken care of!
