Well since i got the ph stuff im going to flush and get things back on track. What can i use to boost the nitrogen by foliar feeding? Anything i can get at home depot or lowes?

Hell yeah I just noticed u got the DYI grow box going too. I made the same one, but I don't have the extension in there. I made a mini 3gal DWC and went Hydro in there. What are u using for lights? watts? type? how many? What kind of fan? I love the box

Not sure about foliar feeding tho, make sure u do it during the dark period, or only do the undersides of the leaves... I think u are good if u just let them take it up from the soil, but I'm not a soil pro so... just be patient these babies will take off real soon. Once they find out they are getting treatment they will pay u back with some growth spurts.

I just tested my PH and it was above 7.0 (highest my tester goes. Now its 6.4) This should help dramatically. I hope!

As for the box, i used a 4 light bathroom fixture and put y splitters in all of them. There are 6 6500K Daylight CFL's and 2 1600 CFL Soft Whites. And i just used a bathroom exhaust fan wired to an extension cord for ventilation. lined with mylar wraping.

Yeah, but for future times buy it at your hydro store, k what will work is the recycle something are another but its in the gardening section in it comes in a spray bottle that was a recycle coke bottle with a spray head put on, but its like 3-2-2 and will green up your baby's faster since your roots aren't going to be taking up any nutrients until there unlocked.

and don't forget to plus rep:mrgreen::blsmoke::peace:

The PH'ed water made a world of a difference over night. Stalks greening up, yellowing stopped and is going away. Didn't think it would make that big a difference but it did. When should i start the nutes after the flush?

Thats what i've been using! It's the all purpose MG plant food and the numbers are 24-8-16. So maybe its not a nitrogen deficiency? I've been mixing at half strength. Could this all be being vaused by the PH of my water? I know i shouldn't but i've been using tap water. If so. Can i just get PH adjusters from pet smart or what?

high alkaline water causes the plant to be unable to absorb iron which in turn can lead to yellowing leaves and purple stems get yout water ph to 5.7 quick!

Glad to hear it, start adding the next time you water at about half the dosage.
