**Tuesday, November 5th 2019 - Day 50** I ended up purchasing a Digital PH meter based on the recommendations by everyone. I bought the [Dr.meter PH100-V](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ST3VTQ4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?tag=ilovegrowingm-20). After callibrating the PH Meter I pre-tested the water and then measured the run-off from the plants. I was getting a PH reading of 7.84 from the water, and a reading of 8.13 from the water run-off. Based off this scale, I 100% am seeing an Iron deficiency. ![ph-levels](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/b/f/fbf60fcda02e3691b24d8f64c73a07a676486ce2.jpeg) I’ve already placed an order for [Calcium Sulfate (Gypsum)](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07323DVMB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?tag=ilovegrowingm-20) to help bring the levels down. Hopefully this will help with the yellowing to the leaves I’ve been having. Which I’m sure it will, based on the information I have now. Otherwise, the plants are slowly starting to flower, I’m seeing some pretty healthy pistol growth and the beginnings of trichome development. Exciting stuff!

**Sunday, November 10th 2019 - Day 55** I’m getting my PH levels to a much better spot. Before trying anything I wanted to give my plants a few good waterings to establish what ‘normal’ looked like. I was averaging 8.5 PH in my soil. As of today I officially have the PH down to 4.89. Which is a massive over-correction lol. The plants have been doing fine, and today is the only day they’ve been that low. I’m going to continue to water them with regular tap-water to bring the PH levels back up. But the important thing is I’m able to accurately measure the PH levels, and correct them as I go. I’m starting to see some solid tri production, and all of my plants have some beautiful white tops. ![IMG_0132](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/3/5/7/35735da4d39cb171069b1bd205d3618bb4ef3fd2.jpeg) ![IMG_0133](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/3/b/8/3b88c37818c2a46f0b3c778c5165cd4755768b6d.jpeg) ![IMG_0136](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/e/d/fedde366030bb3bf37ca053aee4bbe6e632d6798.jpeg) ![IMG_0139](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/6/3/863e92be9b92ed75af05fdf3116f4bbad722ea0b.jpeg) ![IMG_0140](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/2/f/12f8818cbc0b8371eb3be987a1665b2e76c0ef04.jpeg) ![IMG_0141](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/e/9/c/e9ccdc957f0e85bc299b85d536344647c3a4d5dd.jpeg) ![IMG_0143](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/e/f/2/ef2278ead376b39c596d0d623b1c24202d002077.jpeg) ![IMG_0144](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/2/0/9/209bd97168677a0d725d334017e5eb102976957f.jpeg) ---
