I'm growing 4 different strains and 2 of them are showing signs of some deficiency or another. I check my ph and it was very low. Like 5 flat in soil. I went and bought ph up and a good meter and now it's at 6.5 with my bio Bizz entire nutrient line and RO water. I think the deficiencies are phosphorus and a light calcium. Which have both been corrected, but I’m still worried.View attachment 3495067View attachment 3495067 View attachment 3495070 View attachment 3495070

Think zinc as well. You say low pH - what was it before you corrected it? I am doubting a pH of 5.0 for tapwater but I am not there.

First are you testing the soil itself? With a quality meter? Please tell me you're not testing the run off? That's a NO NO!
Second, I've never had my soil be that far off. But I have read that changing the soil PH with plants in it should be done slowly. So be careful about trying to correct it in one shot. Like I said I've only read that. But you are talking about being off about a point and a half. It's off far enough that I would guess this was a test of the run off.

I live in Colorado so I'm not worried about my name but I'll edit it when I get on my computer later. My ro water after I added nutes was at 5. Not my runoff or my soil. Just my water

10/4. That's much easier to correct. I'd suggest testing the soil if you could. You want to be around 6.5 IN the soil. I know my pro mix is at 5.7/5.8 -----> so everything I put in there is at 6.8. One of these days I'm going to try a plant a 7.0 to get closer to the 6.5 when combined. I've never tested the soil like this because my plants have looked healthy. I'll get a good reading of my soil this next grow so I can pass on the info.

Lol... hopefully no punk ass thieves that live in Colorado see this...isn't that the very first rule in growing cannabis? To not say (we'll show) where your growing?
