hello guys,
its my first time growing weed so i am complete noob and need your help.

problem is that i accidentally watered my plants with wrong water, i mean i had ph balanced water but i mixed up it with different bottle. when i realized it i tested ph in that bottle and it was very low (below 5.0) and now some of leafs are dying... i watered it again with water with normal ph level.. but i dont know should i be worried or not? should i cut those leaves that started dying or just leave them?

plant is around 1 month old, growing outdoor.

thanks

Its nothing to freak out about. If the leaves die then I might pick em off later on, but just continue on normally for now IMO.

Dude you're growing in soil. That acts like a really good buffer you mainly pay more attention to ph in hydro or soil less grows.

If the plant is a month old, have you up potted? Maybe you need to add nutes now

the medium is quiet normal size i don't think that it needs up potting.. and i got terra flora nutrients last week so i think i'm doing everything right, i just f*cked up ph and that was the only thing that worried me ..

It's ok, you might have burned them a bit with that mistake. Just keep on with your normal schedule. Do NOT cut the damaged leaves off, only take leaves that have turned completely yellow. A good test is to push down lightly on the damaged leaf, if it falls off then it was ready to go, if it springs back up, just leave it be. Good luck!

I've never ph'd any of my water when I grow in soil and I'm yet to have an issue CUZ of it.

Reason I told you to repot is because you mentioned the plant is a month old so I'm assuming it's been in the same pot for a month. Your nutes ran out in that soil, or the root system has out grown your pot.

Your lower leaves are dying because the plant is using the nitrogen in them to stimulate the new growth.

i don't know man, im afraid i'll damage the roots and kill the plant completely.. thats what im gonna do: watch it for few days, maybe week and see how it will be doing then. if its ok i won't touch it.. soil is some kinda "special grow mix" or something like that i dont think that it ran out of nutes that quickly and also i told u im adding more myself, but, i'll take your advice if fixing ph won't help..

aanyway thanks a lot ;)
