Default Looks like a pH problem to me
If you've been following my experiment journal, you know i've got a tiny plant, not even three inches tall, that's gone into flowering.

It used to look all hapy and perky, now it's looking like it had itself a major pH lock. The soil read over 7.5 on my analog meter, which isn't the most accurate thing but close enough.

I've added a weak solution of water and vinegar to the soil to hopefully bring the pH back down. If not, I'm probably going to have to flush it.

What do you think?









Looks like I'm gonna have to this plant to make it happy.

Haven't used any nutes as this is a fresh transplant as of about a week and a half ago. I won't use nutes until about two weeks after transplant, to allow for recovery time from possible transplant shock.

pH read (according to the crud analog meter I have) 7.8 - way out of range. It reads my regular tap water at 7 flat so I'll *ASSUME* for now my meter is calibrated to within +/- 0.5. I gave it a weak vinegar/water solution to help corect the pH. If that fails within the next day I'm going to flush hardcore and add hydrogen peroxide.

Floyd:

That's why I use a real analog meter - digital has too many issues when the known electrica potential between different soil sources differs. Analog meters deal with straight pH thru electron motility not the BS shit digital meters do with electrical differnce.

But then again, most people wouldn't have the material science background to know an aluminum and copper probe would give a far more accurate measuring of pH since we know how aluminum and copper affect pH after nearly 200 years.
