forgot to ph

i dont know what i need to do now.. yesterday i forgot to ph the food before feeding my girls, and now the leaves are curling under.. should i flush with phd water or wait till friday (i feed every 3 days) and just do the normal feeding schedule but make sure to ph the water.

This is the first time i have done this i was just a little too high

How far off is your ph before you adjust?

its usually about 5.9 before i add the ph up. when i was finished feeding, i remembered that i forgot to ph it, then with the extra food i phd that and it was 6.5... but today the leaves are starting to curl. so im in panic mode. what do i need to do. thanks for the help

dood 6.5 is golden for soil, .... what is ur grow medium? if it's hydro.. mix up some low ph water and mix it in ur tank to lower the ph.

their in soil. so should i wait to feed on friday or flush them tommorrow

why would u flush them..... lol. flushing is for nute burn and salt build up.

lol thanks for the help, im just in panic mode i dont want anything to happen to them.

Extra food?
If 5.9 is the ph before you adjust I wouldn't worry if it was me. I feed with 6.2 all the time because that's how it mixes. Assume a +- of .1 on a cheapy digital ph pen your still in the ballpark....outfield anyway.

I would look more into the leaf curling. Like what kind of curling?

i was more concerned with the ph because i make the food in 5 different 1 gallon containers, so the last of the food was left over in the last gallon container, that was my only idea of what the ph could have been, so i dont know what the other gallon containers were.

medimaker-

ill be more specific tommorow on the leaf curling, ill take pictures and post them. right now the girls are sleeping. if you wouldnt mind checking back tommorow afternoon i would realy apreciate it!! thx for the help

they are slightly curling upwards on the sides and some of the tips are yellow not all, do you think that they are too close to the light, they are about 10 or 11 inches from it.

A low PH is not causing that. Heat stress is. Too low a PH simply causes the plant to struggle to absorb essentials. Leeching or flushing is not required to fix the problem, adjust the soil PH by watering with a higher PH on the next watering.

Move that light up to about 18" and keep a close eye on those leaves. Once they start curling up like that, you don't get those leaves to recover. The celluar structure has been damaged by the heat. For young plants with few leaves, it could be fatal.

I am in the 3rd week of flowering.

thanks much for the help!

these are super critical haze and white siberian, super bushy. If i fix now it wont affect the yeild right? Ill move the light when i get home today.
