What's up guys and gals. Ok ,I'm 3 weeks into flower and I'm noticing these red spots on some of the fan leaves. Its not wide spread, but it is popping up on some of fall leaves. I've had a couple of the bottom fan leaves turn yellow, so I'm slightly leaning towards ph problems in the soil. Soil ph meters I think are basically useless. I'm at a consistent 75 degrees, and 50 to 60 percent humidity. I'm under a mars ts2000, Mars ts600 and king led 2000. Feeding at a 2.1 to 2.3 ec . Fox farm trio. Big bloom,tiger bloom and grow big. I'm using tap water that's testing at 0.3 to 0.4 ec.. ask I'll provide any other information needed. also seem to be having same issue with one other plant, other two are fine. On a 7 gallon pot,is 21 gallons required to fully flush, if that's what is needed.

That one works.

So she appears short on Ca and perhaps even Mg. The question is, are these elements provided to the plant in sufficient amounts and accessible via your nutrients? If they are, then it appears you'd be correct in saying you think it's a pH issue. Which would then suggest you need a good pH meter and the one Renfro has suggested would be one to look at. Conversely, if your pH is on and these elements aren't being provided to your plants, well that's your answer. Good luck.

Yeah figure out if it's nutes first before going full steam ahead on an expensive ph pen.

You can get a cheap ph pen and for $20 you can't go wrong, you know they work when you calibrate to three points and they repeadtedly produce the same ph as the calibration solution after being used. I seal up my calibration solution container so I can reuse it and test it.

You can also test your soil with ph meter, run thru 7.0 distilled water and it will tell you where your at in the soil. Cheap and easy.

They probably make them in china and figured it will be a while before they can get another shipment due to corona. So raise the price on them so they will stay in stock longer.

Everyone that can rip us off to make a buck on this crisis will. If I saw someone that ran bluelab I would kick them in the nuts (or cunt punt them). It's despicable.
