How are you testing pH?
First timer please help

With a meter but I think I've been doing it wrong. Are you supposed to ph first then add the nutrients or it doesn't matter?
You add nutrients then you pH and tell me how do you adjust your pH? You also have to calibrate your meter. Have you done that?

Looks to me as though the are starving and you are letting coco get dry.

If in coco your water/nute solution ph should be 5.5 to 6.

And yes the ph is vitally important, 8 is way to high.
You should start your own thread especially when the OP is growing hydro and you're in soil or it gets very confusing. Thanks!

No, I haven't calibrate it. Do yall think the plants is revivable or no?
I think both can make it if you don't over feed it and over dry it. You have to water with nutrients daily. Mix your nutrients to about 800 PPM then pH to 5.8. Then water them with that at least daily.

Apologies. Those girls seem to have a slew of problems. Looks like too much nitrogen, probably leading to lockout then finally narcrossis. Once plants get to this state the potency/taste tend to be effected.
Re-evaluate your op. It's a process getting dialed.

You might consider doing some research on the proper way to grow in coco..........www.cocoforcannabis.com.
You're doing everything wrong.
Good luck.

It always amazes me how people go against their natural tendencies. I'm happy in hydro because I over water and kill everything in soil. Some people do very well in soil because they under water (from a hydro perspective). Might as well go with your tendencies and branch out later if you want.
I'm going to ditch the coco and transplant it to foxfarm all purpose soil. Any advice?

I have a bit of advice
If that soil has nutrients in it, is the last thing you need, unless you are just trying to fry them

No advice from me..........I don't, and won't grow in soil.

What the hell did you feed those? They're fried to a crisp. Anyone that thinks that's normal and the way a healthy plant should look doesn't know what they're talking about.
Don't even bother transplanting those plants. Just finish them out. You're not reviving those things. Just keep them alive for the flowers to finish up and call it a day.
