Okay where to start with the fucking problems I'm having

1 I'm using general organics with tap water I had the go box I would mix accordingly to the week my ph of my water would go from 8.0 to 5.0-4.0 so I stop using all the micro and just kept with the base just using grow or bloom I could get a ph of 6.0-6.5

2 I got these cheap ass grow bags they keep my soil wet for weeks I'm talking these plant are 4 weeks in bloom I fed Em 1 or 2 times and I'm getting low ass ph run off .

3 so I ran straight tap water thru about 2,3 days ago and still no pick up in growth I drop my ph meter in water so II can't test run off anymore

4 I'm growing in promix this plant has barely been fed are watered I'm talking even during veg I just foliar feed the soil gets wet and every couple weeks. A watering .

Wtf is up with my plant and how the hell can I get her back on track please HELP

Either overwatered (Bad drainage, root rot/stem rot) or could be a nitrogen toxicity. I recommend doing a proper flush and youll be surprised at how quick those plants stand back up. if it is a root or stem problem after the flush if nothing changes then you know that's the problem

Yeah I flushed two days ago so if it due to moisture what should I do

I had the same problems with canvas grow bags. My advice would be to get rid of grow bags. I tried to use "smart pots" and had major drainage problems, which in turn lower my overall soil ph. I think it had something to do with the water saturating soil for longer then it would in a normal pot.. If transplant is not a option just flush once and then let them dry out till you can pick up pots very easily then only give 1/2 the watering from now on. i recovered some very locked out Blue widow(ph would be stuck at 5.0), i thought they were done for but after balanced ph and cut back on water finished very nicely.

Are the grow bags plastic? Do they have some holes or slits in them to let water out the bottom?

Since you have mainly just given them water, what is your water quality like? Do you have chlorine or chloramine in it?

Your lighting appears inadequate.

Flimsy stems make me think you may need some cal/mag. There is cal/mag in your tap water but in a difficult form for the plant to take up.

they re plastic grow bags
there a 1000 watts in that room took it out of the light to get a better look
the bags come with holes on the side not the botton
chloramine is in my water

i took 1 out n put it in a dwc bucket and a couple more and regular pots thank you for youre advice i was really leaning to the wet soil from the grow bags not having drainage to dry up but antways appreciate you

If those bags are draining so poorly, I'd punch some holes in the bottom.

As for the chloramine, I'm not really sure how bad it is for your plants, but it is pretty deadly on your micro-organism populations. If you are doing an organic grow you are killing a major nutrient transport mechanism in your soil. I think you could improve your soil a lot with some AACTs using filtered water with cal/mag added back, or maybe you added a calcium source to your soil already?
