And i like everyones thoughts on the problem it goves me a general idea and all of you have been very helpful
I would water feed to liberal run off at 6.8-7.0, get those PPMs down and the run off will lower that and rinse accumulated salts from the medium and raise the PH a little
Can i water till runoff like normal or more than usual? I water 1.25 gallons in a 5 gallon pot and i get maybe 3 to 4 cups of water out
It just seems like my ph doesnt move at all
How many weeks in flower is it?
More runoff will flush down the ppm.
Once it gets out bad, it can take many gallons of water to flush it, so don’t expect it to change overnight.
I would go with about 40-50 runoff. At an input PH of 6.8-7.0. This will act like a soft flush
5 weeks next Tuesday i believe
Ok will do thankyou
Very understandable thanks for you guys’ help hope its not too late they are still getting fatter but using up its leaves bad
NPK are mobile nutrients and will go where they’re needed. Your upper growth needs these more than the lower is why you’re seeing lower leaf fade. Once that PH is up around 6.5 you should be good to go….some leafs won’t recover and some will green back up. Over all the plant looks healthy and wouldn’t stress about it
The others got you covered sorry for the late reply
I bought some lime and either it brought my ph up after scratching in and watering or just from watering 7.0 got me to 6.6 now! Im very relieved!! Now hopefully the other 3 will do the same when the time comes. Runoff on that plant is 6.6 and ppm of 796 now
Also im curious when i use my well water my ppm is 246 but when i ph up it it brings my ppms up like 100 more is that right? I dodnt realize until recently that ph up brings ppm up as well
@Bjenks540 yeah pH up does add some ppms, I think my pH is NPK is 0-0-1 if I’m not mistaken so probably that potassium is what brings it up
Ahh makes sense i was hoping that was the case and that my tds meter wasnt wonking out. I need to buy another one just incase because the one i have is accurate but doesmt have a way to recalibrate when it goes out sadly
Glad they are coming around. Adding ph up or down will increase your PPMs.
@Growdoc I noticed that pH down lowers my ppms and pH up raises them
My PH down doesn’t drop ppm, it raises, anything you add will raise PPMs. Most ph down is a form of acid, very conductive, so it should raise ppm and EC together.
