I forgot to test the PH of my water before I fed my plants and it was 4.2

Tonight when I fed my plants, I forgot to check the PH of my water. I fed them then remembered that I forgot to check the PH went back and checked the little bit that didn't get fed to them and it was 4.2. Checked the runoff and it was 5.4. What should I do? What's going to happen? Is it going to kill my plants?

This is why I have never checked my PH. Think of how much sleep I would lose! Really, not a lot of indoor grows but all were very good and I never check it. Marijuana is a tough little bastard, it will grow without us staring at it for 4 hours a day. I will open the floor to all the scientists who believe what I said is blasphemous.

don't need to be a scientist to know that ph can cause deficiencies that effect your plant... sometimes significantly. There are some guys I know that grow and use straight tap water, but it's well water, and ph tested at 5.9... so by the time he added nutes he was like 5.7 anyway.. so it is possible, and I wish I had that luck!.. I have to ph the shit outta our tap water to bring it down. I wouldn't worry too much about one off watering, you won't kill your plants as said they are very resilient weeds, you may notice yellowing, but it shouldn't cause any issues it won't recover from.
Good luck

Violator kush. 17 inches and every branch looks like a cola. Very heavy producing short plant that smells fruity, kushy and fucking awesome. I say at least 1.5 ounces off a 17" plant, it's great. If it cures well and smokes well, it will be my new favorite strain to grow.

I have a short little baby like that, too. Grape Fruit Sour Diesel Kush. Oh, and this one called Purple Dosho. It doesn't even look like an MJ plant, but it stinks up the garden like CRAZY. I thought Super Haze, White Widow, Train Wreck, and those strains were the best. But they don't smell nothin like these babies. Check out this Dosho. It's an old pic the flowers are bigger now. I had them outside, but now they're under an HPS.
