Help please

Hi guys I switched to 12/12 about 5 days ago maybe a week. My plant seems to be fine apart from some sort of yellow spots on a couple of leafs . The fan leafs also feel as though the stem holding them onto the branch are wobbly where the stem meets the main branch . Also I'm loosing some healthy leafs. They are just dropping off . The ones near the bottom of the plant. I'll send some pics guys cheers

Keep a reign on your nutes @flattylfc
Not saying its nute burn but best to rule it out asap.

Double check usual suspects: Feed PPM, PH range and make sure they are not sitting in old run off...
Keep us posted n good luck.

I have only ever given them a couple of little waters with nutes in my water . I usually just give them normal water , so in guessing from your advice it may be pH levels . I have been using tap water but leaving it out for about 36 hours to declorinate . Every other water I have tried to find in shops is about pH level 7.8 lol . I haven't got much money so I may try find some pH level testing strips in the local shop . It's not sitting in old run off I think if anything I may have under watered it because I have heard the plants like weeds are hardy when they lack water and that they are more prone to dying when over watered . Could it need a good watering ? I watered it a little this morning because the first few centimetres of soul was dry . . Cheers for the reply I will keep you updated . It's just a bag seed . Don't even know what strain it is so may need help on that when it buds aha

Plus is it worth me getting this ?? I can test the pH level of the soil? I am ordering a water pH tester too cheers

OK. Your pH is higher than I would like in any of my grows...
I would aim for 6. A little under/over is advantageous due element uptake levels.
Your feed should always be started lower and raised as plant complains of underfeeding (yellowing of lower leaves), this will be reflected in a couple days: but not reflected in your girl. So doubtful its feed.

Leaving out for a day or two is good and your watering schedule depends on what you growing in.
Soil allows a little buffer with PH but requires water (usually) between 2 - 5 days, being careful notnto swamp the roots: and yes I think you probably need to put a gallon of (safe pH) water

In coco its everyday no exceptions.

Your run off PH will normally test a little higher than what you pour in (and is easier than testing soil) but I'd try and get all water/feed into her at about 6.
PH & PPM metres are a must tbh...

Lemon juice (about 2ml per gallon) will reduce you pH by about 1 whole point.
And is by factors of ten, cheaper than nutes companies pH down. And bicarb as PH up - Just DON'T use both in same feed...!

Bottom line: I suggest putting a whole gallon of water, PH'd to 6 through her.
And I would suggest you begin watering until a little run off (I put a pint per 5 litre mass).

Hope all that makes sense.

Thanks so much for your help. I have just ordered a testing kit . I will get the water to 6 then flush her through . Then I'm set from there . I have just been looking into the (p) (k) ratios for the flowering stage and how to implement it in stages . Then the flush 2 weeks before I harvest . I'm gonna need help on when to harvest too . I'm a giddy guy so I'll harvest early if I don't get the advice not to haha

Think you're doing a great job already, your pH on the high side but its manageable (and managed now kit on way!) So relax a little.

Lots of products for raising P & K (I myself use organic products suited for macro AND micro nutes) - Suggest researching bloom nutrients in advance but start here because if you keep this in mind, you'll know your doing ways right.
Liebig's “Law of the Minimum"
You'll see a lot of growers around here ram 0-50-50 into the plant and that's great for just P n K but there is a host of other nutes needed too.

Fisrt off fuck the test kit or testing run off ph it tells you nothing and means nothing and is a waste of time and fucks with your head.
By fucking with that you will fuck up your plants chaseing that bullsjhit around.

Second thing the leaves are dying and falling off due to lack of light.

Good luck.
