3 days ago I found the ph in my mix nutrients solution was low more than usual, a day before I did a foliar to my 12 plants with a formula to clean the white powder mildew in some leaves at the botton, I thought the low ph was because some drain in the buckets and finally to my reservoir...but the good thing was that it was my last day of the week before changing the mix, so I wasted it and run the next day just with plain water and adjusting the ph. After few hours the ph was low again and I adjust it back, next day I did fill my tank again with new mix and have to raise the ph, unusual thing because I have always to low it... but I didnt put to much my mind in it, but yesterday at night, when lights when on, I checked the numbers and the ph was very low, lower than ever, around 4.6, that was too much, I add some ph buster, plus cilica, calmag, and sm-90, all of them rise the ph and help the buster to raise in my 45 gallons reservoir, but in few minutes was low again... I started to feel worried about it, so I check my meter with the calibration solution to found out that the meter probe was mistaken the ph number, so all the buster and others I have put in my mix was unnecesary and because it the ph was very high... (I supose it because I have no meter to verified it) after it I got in to monitoring the plants and I saw them yellowing at top, also the old fan leaves got some yellow spot and lost some green too, and plenty of the new one became yellow, just the ones far from the lights preserve the dark green color, I m in the midle if the 4th week of bloom but they are still alive, I didnt know yet how high is the ph in the food, I just stop
pumping it and just ad some water to each one, water from the street pipe that here the ph normally is around 7.0 or less... I ordered the meter last night and it will be delivery tomorrow, still I have no ph metter to make another mix or check out the water ph level, but Im almost sure that the sicknes and the yellowing I saw last nite is caused by the ph to high even I didnt know yet how high... but at the end i will try to save them that are very stressed, After i clean a litle with water, I dimed the lights level from 1000 to 600 watts to make the plants slow the eating and to relaxing in a not to bright eviroment, this morning before lights when off I look the plants and nothing were change too much, more yellow leaves but the plants were still straigh up... tonite after lights get on I will see whats going on there, but if they are still alive, I have to find something to heal them and easy the stress that this situation has doing to them, my question is, anyone know what I be able to do it or what product i can use to minimize that stress and how to aply it in this situation?... since it never happen to me before, Im really lost... the only thing I have learned is I going to have 2 or more meters to monitoring my mix from now. Like when the doctor give you a bad news and you going to another doctor to see if it have the same opinion, we have to do the same with meter when the number are out of normal...
I apologise for my english and any inconvenience it could made but I just want to be understood, Im cuban and my languaje is spanish...
