Probe .. i will test with meter when i water

Yeah, do. Those soil probes are trash, hopefully you have a PH meter and ideally a TDS/PPM/EC meter too. If the oh is too low, I’ll walk you through a flush to reset your soil and get it in line, but need those runoff numbers .

@Growdoc has you covered and will get you fixed up for sure. Get those runoff numbers as well as feed and runoff ppm(or ec) to make his life easier lol.

Assuming the first set of pics is flower and the second set is veg?

Went through the same issue 3 grows in a row until i found this forum and finally got things under control with the help of members here.

Definitely ph issues with the foxfarm soils(especially when transitioning to flower). That combined with salt buildup from letting your pots soak up the runoff is contributing to the issue. Foxfarm calls for periodic flushes. Gonna follow along and throw any info out that may help.

Good luck brother!!

Great, and you have calibrated or have calibration fluids?

I have this

That is PH adjusters to raise and lower your feeds PH. They usually come with 2 or 3 small vials of fluids, usually pink, blue and green according to PH , they are used to calibrate the meter.

Was that what you was asking did i have or something else :thinking:

Those are for adjusting the PH of your feeds, the calibration fluids should have came with meter, but not all ship them with, you have to buy separately and need to know which range your meter uses. I’ll be back in a few, I’m going to look up your meter and I’ll post a link to the correct fluids.

OK, here is the kit to calibrate with. It’s for the vivosun meter.

It may have came with it ill look in a min.. how do you calibrate? .. i put all extra stuff in a draw

Instructions should cover calibration, there should be a cal button on it, you hold the tip in the solution, hit calibrate, wait for it to match both sets of numbers and hit calibrate again. Hopefully you have the paper with it as it is usually done in a certain order. Mine uses different fluids at 4.0,7.0, and 10.0 . It calibrates at 7.0 first, then 4.0, then 10.0, it will only workin that order on mine, yours may differ. I use Apera meters.

Mabey there is an online manual. You will need distilled water to mix those properly.

I will search for it and also get a bottle of distilled water when i get off in the morning… so with the 3 i have going in flower should i feed them and switch then test run off or ??

Because the 5th 1 that suffered nutrient deficiency im sure not ready for flip

Probably a good idea to check runoff of each one and note it, then you know where your media is for PH and EC.

I don’t know if you have the room to flip separately or you could let sicknone heal and flip together. Whatever works best for your setup.

So should i just do water no nutrients and check it
I can let sick one heal 1st
