Hi everybody! I'm a brand new member. Just started growing about a month and a half ago. My plants have been doing the things shown in your pictures to a 't'. Growth has slowed to less than 1/4" per day, leaves are yellowing and curling under as well as major 'claw'. I don't think I have overwatered. I had been attributing my problems to nute toxicity, (used foxfarm grow big after 3 weeks of veg @ 1/2 strength, but quit almost immediately because stems turned purple) Recently got some ph up/down which came with a testing solution as well. Found out my water is up around 8 as best I can tell. Haven't tested run-off yet. I have been watering for about a week with water adjusted to 6.5 +-, but things still seem to be going south. I'm growing in Ferti-lome soil, in a 2'x3' closet with two 2' t-55 ho lights. I'm thinking maybe I'll flush with low ph water to try to achieve a balance more quickly. I have a feeling i'm going to lose one of my plants. I'll try to get some pics posted if anyone's interested in giving their opinion.

Please quote me where I said "ph is not important for plants".

so you ph adjust water indoor, but not outdoors?

you think weed is the only crop grown indoors?

before watering their plants.

In soil.

no its not about soil but it plays a roll in plant growth. This is about high ph actually, hence the name of the thread. high ph causes droopy, dark green growth. find a hydro grow that is suffering from high ph and you will see most everything I post is my experience. Why dont you post your experience? Why dont you make a thread and help new growers, why dont you put up some pics of your grow and explain to us how you grew them.

You have not giving me one bit of evidence that you even grow cannabis. do you? put up some pics of your grow.

Cause I don't think I have all the answers, nor do I shove my experience down others throats and force my help onto them, leading them astray.

You overestimate yourself

man, you've been running your mouth so much across multiple threads about ph. Nobody ever said ph doesn't matter, give me a break. But what your telling people to do is wrong. I couldn't read it anymore. Seems I wasn't the first.

Agreed, all because a breeder says the strains THC profile is 16+ doesn't mean the plant will actually achieve those levels. It all comes down to the grower and everything he/she does during the plants life. No two results will be identical unless both cultivators replicated/excercised the same cultivation methods/conditions. One thing is for certain- optimal PH is 6.5, regardless of environmental conditions. The PH always fluctuates in soil- fact of life, however what goes in will influence the end result. For a noob it's very important to have an understanding of PH and it's cause/effect.
And lets face it, noobs always go overboard with ferts and watering and boosters, or ammended soil poorly, didnt add lime( which would have them posting) and it all comes down to the soil's ability to buffer PH, hold and release nutrients. I have had very low PH and high PH before and recall a day when I was still very new to this world of growing. I wish back then there was an individual (SIP) who cared enough to start a pictorial, on how to re-adjust/stabilize. This is a very useful post and I have found it to be quit accurate.

you mentioned that thc levels can get up to 16+ but never succeed.. so question., how can u get high thc or read/tell how much thc the plant is producing or going to produce..?

please go to page 19, see what happens when I, Me, as in the person posting this reply, when I do not adjust my ph. how do you explain this? And as I said this is what "I" do when I run a 150 plant op. with no problems. its really simple adjust your water,, it takes like 60 seconds, why is everyone so lazy?

you dont have to grow like this dude, you grow how you grow, I never said everyone HAS TO DO THIS NOW!!! You must all change you operation and do what I say, I RULE WEED AND YOUR GROW!! dont do anything you dont want to.

its quite obvious you really dont want to ever grow over 4-6 plants at once. I do not make people read this thread, the more you post on it, the more likes I get for posting it because you keep bumping it right back up to the top, you didnt know you were doing that?

thanks for bumping tho. And yess keep posting replys and this thread will stay at the top of the chart for weeks,,, yea!!!
