Wilting & Burn, What's going on?

When you say "Water with the pHed and Ca/Mg" is the "Phed" a separate solution or just PH balanced water? I'll try the apple cider vinegar for now, just add until it gets down to 6 (going from memory on good PH), wait 24 hours then water?

Also, even with the ideal solution, would these leaves correct themselves or should I trim em off?
Been reading about Apple cider vin after your suggestion and I think I'm going to experiment with that for now. I'll need to check the runoff as well right? Thanks so much for the assist!

pHed is the whole solution mixed and then you water/feed with it.....ALL feed solutions should be pHed too!

pH to 6.5

No, sorry. The only leaf "damage" that recovers, is N problems, high or low.

What are you feeding and how much? How often?


Run off? NOPE! Skip that.....

I've seen similar burn from ph being too high after being repotted into a custom super soil mix. Stems also turned dark purple. Lost at least two weeks and now much of the lower growth isn't worth keeping. Grr...

I'm using the Fox Farms Trio and in veg I was using both Grow Big & Big Bloom at half dose (every other week). Just yesterday I used Tiger Bloom but only 1 tsp (recommended 2-3 per gallon). I'll stop for now and get the PH in check, wait maybe a week and see how they do and try it again but balanced. I'll trim off those bad leaves

I swear! The 2 nutrient lines I see involved in the most problems......FFtrio and BioBizz......Now what does that tell you?

I might suggest a new nutrient line for the next run.....

It's probably Bc most like me are not checking their ph. What do you recommend?

For the easiest thing to use - Dyna Gro - Foliage Pro.

Something I seem to be recommending a lot lately (Lots of friends around me are doing amazing things with it) I'm going to get some and see what I can do with it...just for fun...

Botanicare's KIND line. A 3 part and they only supplement with Dyna gro Pro Tekt (a silica) and most use my home made "sweet raw" formula at about half of how I chart it for synthetic's.....KIND has important parts of that, already in it.

The Ph'd water seems to be helping a lot so thanks for that. But I did notice this morning some little pockets on leaves of these black little bugs:


Are these mites or something else? I have a couple sprays on hand: Mighty Wash, Monterrey Garden with Spinosad & Neem, which would you recommend? And best to spray with lights off? Mine are about to go off for 12.

Not mites! Don't see plant damage......may want to hit them with the mighty wash......It should repel them.

If you have them return - Spinosad/Neem.
