Default Water ph high 7.8-8 and slow growth small new growth
permalink
HELP I have beenusing tap water, and i know now that the ph is 7.8ph to 8ph
I am getting very slow and small new growth. I bought a cheap meter dial no batteries. and was adjusting my ph down with vineger and added a fair amount and didn't see any change acording to the meter. So i used this water on my plant.
Last night i bought a test kit the color match to a chart kind. It said my water was above 7.6ph I added a little vineger and the ph changed to about 6ph so I know the other water i adjusted was a way low ph.
So I watered with the 6ph water last night.
The question is do I need to flush or will just watering with the right ph water fix my problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated! And thanks in advance!
I'll post a pic but it's not very clear!
peace man

Do you think just start using ph corrected water will correct this problem? Or should I flush the pot?
Thanks for the responce! peace man

Thanks everybody for your help!
I will have to try and cheack the ph of run off water. I'm still working at how much vinegar or baking soda to add to adjust my ph. The plant in pics is looking worse, I think from my ph going up and down!
I had 3 seeds sprout this weekend so I hope I get this ph straightened out.'
peace man

Thanks Dr I have repotted ti but I think I'll re pot it again as I didn't have any perlight to add to my soil last time.
My temps have been on the low side with the cold wheather. But ar egetting better. 70-74 day night 65-69. I'm cosidering adding a incandesent just to get my temps up a little. I'll add it off to the side so not to burn my plant.
peace man

If you haven't flushed, DO IT! I screwed the ph up on my grow and almost lost all the plants. Not trying to hijack your thread but here's the link to my thread "way to much ph up" so you can see what happened to mine and what happened when i transplanted and flushed. I'm about to flower 2 of them today. They can snap back if you can get your ph under control. Way to much ph up Hope this helps and gives you hope..... Good luck and good grow....
