    Compost tea PH problem

    It actually tested 8.9 today. Definitely the most alkaline water situation I’ve ever had, which is why I didn’t even bother testing, because I was doing organics. I get well water and tried going to the river to try that, but it came back similar. It turned into a good learning scenario...

    Atlanta is decriminalized. You’re right though. Outside of ATL you better drive straight. GSP don’t play.

    Compost tea PH problem

    I tried not PH Ning the water going in, but I get nute lock running 8.5 water. Ended up having to flush and do foliage spray to feed nutes for a bit but they bounced back. How do I combat this without PH? I’m using good compost as part of the original potting mix along with happy frog...

    Compost tea PH problem

    I’ve been noodling around with this. I had some deficiencies after I switched over to using river water. I didn’t bother PH before I brewed and found out the tea was going in around 8.5. Started showing major signs of phosphorus/calcium deficiencies with red stems, bluish color to the fan...

    Compost tea Ph Adjustment Options

    I ordered some citric acid that I'll use to lower the PH before adding anything to the water. Gonna let that sit for 24hr with aeration before adding in the compost tea to brew. Hoping that will minimize any affect on microbes. I feel like if it froths up like normal then I'm good. We'll see...

    Compost tea Ph Adjustment Options

    Gonna see how much recovery I can get out of these. They definitely have some nute lock going on - one worse than others. They're only 23 days old, so hoping they will bounce back and I can cut off most of the affected foliage once they perk up again. I'm gonna PH Down my water prior to adding...

    Compost tea Ph Adjustment Options

    I know this is super old, but having a similar problem. I unfortunately do not have RO water. We have well water and I am dechlorinating for 24 hrs in a 5 gallon bucket prior to feeding or mixing in nuts. The problem is, my water is naturally between 8.1- 8.5. I believe the PH is leading to...

    Transplanted from Root Riot --> Solo Cups and my babies look sick

    That's the best match to what I see on my plants. That part about it being on the bottom on some of the oldest leaves matches as well. I figured it was a result of the PH issue in some way. Hopefully adding the nutes in at a low dose yesterday will offset that a bit. I'll increase to the...

    Georgias dispencaries

    GA Native. It’s decriminalized but still no cultivation or sale allowed. Cops turn a blind eye for the most part, but most of the shops are CBD, delta9, etc. nothing with any significant thc content. They’ve been selling medical cards for years but no way for patients to access. It’s all a...

    Transplanted from Root Riot --> Solo Cups and my babies look sick

    Back again with another update and question for the group.... I noticed a few days ago the below spots starting to form on some of the lower foliage of my Blue Dream plant. 21 days old, RH between 62-67%, Temp 70-76, VPD 1.0-1.2. Up until yesterday I only given the plants water and some...

    Brown Spots on leaves

    Hi everyone, looking for some input on what could be causing the below issues. I have 3 plants going (Blue Dream, Purple Punch, and GG#4). They are 21 days old. RH is between 60-65%, and temp stays between 70-77 depending on lights on or off. I have not started IPM, but will use a OMRI...

    Transplanted from Root Riot --> Solo Cups and my babies look sick

    I didn't try to mess with soil PH at all. Just went ahead and did the repot and ph Down in the water and Recharge I added. I was wondering that though, so good to know that's not something I should ever have to mess with. I'm testing the water, nutrient solution, and runoff to get an idea of...

    Transplanted from Root Riot --> Solo Cups and my babies look sick

    I might have jumped the gun. I realized I had a PH issue. My water was very alkaline and sitting about 8.3, which I then attributed to some of the yellowing. Went to the local hydro store to get some PH Down and after having a conversation with the owner, he suggested that I go ahead and repot...

    Transplanted from Root Riot --> Solo Cups and my babies look sick

    A few updates and photos. Day 15. I switched my light to veg spectrum and moved from 24:0 to 18:6 yesterday. I dropped the humidity in the tent from 60-70% range down to 50-60%. There definitely is some yellowing on the blue dream and others now. You can see it in the pics below. Any...

    A few updates and photos. Day 15. I switched my light to veg spectrum and moved from 24:0 to 18:6 yesterday. I dropped the humidity in the tent from 60-70% range down to 50-60%. Thoughts on if these are too small to transplant to 5 gallon yet? I can see roots through the bottom of the...

    Transplanted from Root Riot --> Solo Cups and my babies look sick

    Will do. I have one of each (Blue Dream, Purple Punch, and Gorilla Glue) going. BD seems to be taking the race right now, but that's expected with the strain (I think). I only have a 4x2 setup right now, so whichever two are doing the best one they get to veg will stay, and I'll likely throw...

    This is gold. Unfortunately I don't have privileges to "like" and react to this yet, but kudos. I had pen in hand until I got half way through that product name. ( :

    Sadly enough I knew that they fed off them but didn't necessarily think about them falling off. hahaha

    Thank you, my friend. You have eased my mind a good bit with this feedback. Seems I was falling victim to the "over-worrying" all of us newbies go through.
