@SourDeez, nah like i said input 6.0 but you want to measure 6.5 on the way out, this should be done by your soil naturally, but that's not happening. Adding silica in flower is going to cause more harm than good (pH issues with silica) . This problem seems like it's got worse and the pH has not fully stabilised. Instead of silica , try adding humic acid with your feeds. Humic acid will pH to 6.5 . The pH perfect nutrients are not exactly pH perfect sometimes - go figure ! :facepunch:

@CRiSPrGrow, Thanks for the fast reply. What's weird is all of the plants are the same strain but each one seems to be showing different things. Like Number 6 on week 7 has just a single leaf that has a bunch of black and also one leaf with a huge yellow spot that I never noticed (Definitely wasn't like that last week). I still think I have pH problems or the soil is to Alkaline but it's really just a guess. I water in at about pH 6 and then the runoff comes out at 6.8ish. The silica blast is coming today, do you think I should pH my water up to like 6.5?:pray:

@SourDeez, good news, best i can tell that's from the pH fluctuations from before and the problem seems to have "stopped" spreading, the affected leafs wont recover as in get better, and the damage done "gets worse" in the sense the necrosis completes, give it another week of monitoring if you can see the issue's not spreading or getting that much worse then you can pull it off lol . that's actually not that bad with the damage, think you managed to rectify the situation quick enough to avoid the worst :facepunch:

@CRiSPrGrow, Sup dude. Hope all is well. Yo I was wondering if you could take a look at Week 6 pics and give me some feedback as to what might be going on with those brown spots developing. I'm writing my entry for week 7 right now and will also add more photos there as well. Really appreciate the help. Thanks!

@CRiSPrGrow, Hey dude thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions on my first grow. I didn't even know this comments section existed as I'm new to the site. It's weird because I wasn't sure if the gray/brown spots were spreading or if they were already there and I just didn't notice. They're hard to notice in the gray stage, but once they're brown it's very apparent. Now I kinda regret that I flushed it today. Anyway, I do have one more question. In my week 5 post that I just uploaded I took a picture of some "soggy" lower leaves that sag and eventually dry up. Is this just natural defoliation or a sign of something else?
Thanks again!
