From what I understand to keep it short and simple… I think I over fertilized last week and that’s why the canoeing is apparent.I gave it some 6.5 ph water a few days ago. The soils I still moist and hasn’t gotten water since. I plan on just giving it water this week and maybe next. What do you guys think I should do? And will the leaves go back to normal? ---

Welcome to the forum. You’ll get more and better results with your request if you post a pic where we can see the plant. Can you please repost a pic taken in natural (white) lighting? All we can see is a purple plant and it’s impossible to see color or texture. > [@Immich](#): > > water this week and maybe next Water thoroughly and then let the soil dry out before watering again. > [@Immich](#): > > over fertilized Are you monitoring the runoff PPM so you can calibrate your feeding amounts? Your plant would do far better with adequate lighting. ---

No I’m not sure how to measure that. ---

Much better. Thanks. The clawing leaves are due to excess nitrogen. What soil are you in and what product(s) are you feeding? Suggest monitoring and managing runoff pH and PPM? ---

Hmm… how do I look into this? ---

I am using Fox farm OF soil with there trio for nutrients ---

> [@Immich](#): > > trio Then it will be especially important to manage runoff pH. The FF Trio will eventually submarine your root zone pH, if it hasn’t already. An improper pH causes nutrient uptake problems (e.g starves your plant of certain nutrients.) Blulab and Apera both make good meters for measuring pH and PPM. ---

You’re speaking of the ph of the soil? I have a ph meter I use for the water. ---

> [@Immich](#): > > You’re speaking of the ph of the soil Yes. Collect the runoff water each time you water and test it for pH. The runoff pH should be in the range 6.3 to 6.8. The pH going in versus the pH of the runoff will be different once you have been feeding for a few weeks. Expect pH to drift lower as time goes on. A couple of flushes are required when using the FF Trio before harvest to wash the mineral salts out. It is these mineral salts that submarine your root zone pH and they must be flushed out every few weeks to keep pH in range. ---

Ok that make sense thank you for the explanation. I just made a new post about some new issue that I’ve found… If you’d like to check it out and provide insight.
