I have one mine is 140 out of tap

 

[Dannoo93]

Ph runoff is 5.32

WAY too low. what happened is you kept putting pH down(acid) into your nute mix. and didn't need to.
You need to flush with PURE tap water. it's around 8.0pH in most areas. if yours is as high as mine then use that. NO acid..

Give them a few days to recover, and you should see new bud growth... You need to fix it asap or you will kill the overall yield.

What should runoff be at...and it was only that one plant it recieves the same amount of nutes as the other 3 autos

 

[SxIstew]

Soil? not hydro right???

6.3-6.8 should be your runoff. So you will be going in like 7.5 or so. I use 8.0 tap water without issues.

 

[Dannoo93]

Do you ever ph ur water after mixing nutes I mix nutes with water then ph it to 6.2 and water or just ph to 6.2....when using ph up/down should u let the water sit for a while I usually just have water thats sat out for a day mix in nutes stir em up then add ph up or down to get to 6.2 then feed

 

[SxIstew]

no.... you don't go in 6.2...... this is what you need to understand. The pH chart is not telling you what to go in. it's telling you where you need your medium/runoff pH to be at.
So 6.3-6.5 runoff could be 7.5-8.2 going in.... You see?

With the buildup of acid in your root system you are literally frying your root system...

I use general organics. i never have to pH. EVER. lol

 

[SxIstew]

You need to flush flush flush. with clean, nothing added to it, water.

Okay I just learned something new, Very nice and fuck I been F-ing up this whole time crap!!

 

[SxIstew]

This was my mistake my first 2 grows. I haven't touched the pH Up or Down in over a year............ both are close to full... No need for them.

I'm liking what I'm reading. Stew if you get a chance could you give your opinion and maybe some pics here?https://www.rollitup.org/general-ma...-whats-best-smelling-bud-you.html#post9617638

 

[Dannoo93]

Ill have to use ph up cuz my ph is super low when I add nutes like 6.0

 

[SxIstew]

What are you using?

 

[Dannoo93]

Ff nute trio

 

[SxIstew]

following the recommended feeding schedule?

 

[Dannoo93]

Next time I feed I will post exactly what I do but next go is just straight watering....if I mix my nutes and my ph is 5.7 I should add ph up right?

 

[SxIstew]

yeah. I guess... Wait for another answer on that one. I personally don't use the product because it has caused me issues.
the reason i use the nutes and medium i use now is because the medium is a "no- burn" mix, and the nutes require no pH adjustments.
I can't run synthetic at all. i kill everything. I won't try it again for a while either.
If you keep having problems switch. personal opinion here..

 

[Dannoo93]

Regular photo plants are dping well autos are just a lil more tempermental...should I do this flush once a day

 

[Dannoo93]

Any other ideas I put 3 gallons of tap water through it this morning it gotten even worse all fan leaves are crispy if it doesnt get better in a day or so its gonna become bho
