Brown leaves auto white widows

My white widow auto are giving me issues. Last week they looked great this week they look sad.
One is in week 2 of flower the other just popped buds 2 days ago.
Just watered yesterday and pH was great so were ppm.

I’m sure some has to do with lighting… Working on that but what else could the leaves on the bottom be crispping up for?

What is great? Can you please list ph and ppm in vs runoff, what kind of soil or media you’re growing in, nutrients used, and your watering/feeding schedule?

pH in tonight was 9.5 run off was 6.5, ppm run off was around 12-1300 not sure before can’t remember…medium is a mix between organic and miracle grow organic… Yes I know not to do this next time first timer🤦… I water when she is most but not wet. Last couple waters though she has been dryer then normal. This last week I laxed more than normal after holiday weekend so if she is just thirsty that’s an easy fix I can make happen … I just did a good flush last week on her because her ppms were way high like 8000 and the pH low around 5.4. time I did put in about 1 1/2 tsp of tiger bloom since they are in flowing in a gallon of water each. Haven’t done other nutes since the flush last week to try and level her out. I have them I have fox farm trio but due to the flush I hadn’t or any in yet again …I had to flush it with I think 5 gallons to final get it down.

You are in soil? :thinking:
Ideally, you want your pH in to be 6.5, some fluctuation either way is OK but 9.5 is waaaaay too high.

The miracle gro probably has time released nutrients which isn’t the end of the world but makes it hard to help. It’s good to let pot dry out some before watering again too, this allows roots to get some oxygen. I agree that applying water around 6.5ph is best for now, and hold off on feeding nutrients until your runoff ppm comes down some.

9.5 was in run off was 6.5

@ChittyChittyBangin pH run off ok at 6.5? In was 9.5 run off was down at 6.5 isn’t it run off that matters. And ppm was actually around 1100. But leaves look like :poop:

You might just be in a little bit of shock from the ph adjustment. 6.5 out at 1100 ppm is where you want to be. Give it a few days to recover… oh and next grow around, we’re burning anything miracle grow that comes near your plants :rofl::rofl::rofl:
