Default Please help
Hi i have started 2 auto-flowering plants and have had sum real trouble with PH, I am cumming upto the flowering stage and i really need help with my PH. I have been growing my plants on god knows what PH and they seem ok but yellow leaves and few little problems like that which i have managed to sort out but i need perfect PH for my flowering stage. The problem is i have been playing about with PH for over a week and when i test it its always either Yellow (bright) or Red (pinkish colour) i dont kno if i need more or less of things.

Any help is much appreciated.

You should usually see yellow in the ideal ranges...if you are getting green to blue, then your ph is too high....orange to red and it is too low.
Personally, I use Lemon Juice to lower my ph and Baking Soda to bring it up.
Just add little bits at a time, mix it in, wait a minute or two and check it again until you are satisfied.
