Help , my WW Fem plants going outdoors in coastal tx are losing leaves….help

The buds are still growing and just curious if keep growing or they have an issue

The only nutes are in the soil and I add ILGM flowertime weekly: N16 P6 K30, 1 tsp to gallon of water and use sprayer to feed into the soil.

Of course temps are 100+ daily and 60+ humidity.

Trying to get these girls to harvest but that is targeted at end of September

Any thoughts

Many thanks

What is pH of water going in? :thinking:

Hashton , good question, never used anything but cool tap water. It just read 7.2 ish. It’s not a digital meter, older model.

I was thinking the pH was more for indoor grow.

What do you think? Since I plan to grow another 6+ weeks

They are in pots,yes?
Just my thoughts, pH looks off to me.
Cannabis in soil, water should be 6.5 ,with fluctuations either way between 6-7 .
I always check my pH when watering in pots.
I would get quality pH pen to test your pH when watering and feeding nutrients.

How often are you watering?
Are they getting wet and dry cycle?

Forgot to ask ,is water de-chlorinated?

Even though youre outside, youre still in pots. How is your drainage? I would recommend doing a soil slurry test to get accurate numbers of your ph and ppm. Correct ph and ppm and you should be gold.

Hash , I do try to water each morning and then only when the girls are dry

I have only used local water……garden hose

I have some product coming in Saturday to lower pH

The nutes I have are stuff, a grow kit, I got thru ILGM. I see where the feed water also should be ~ 6.5 pH

Now of course the girls look like centerfolds today.

I would think this learning curve would give me gray hair but too late.

Appreciate you sharing knowledge

I did get acid solution and for last 3 days have fed and water the girls with pH of ~ 6.6 pH . Made gallon batches of feed water and also with nutes using the 6.6

I will get a few pics this week

The nutes I have are from ILGM , their flowertime stage 3 . All in in 3-4 weeks of making buds
