??? Huh?!...I believe there are only a couple of docs in the US that test for this. I didn't go to Michigan because the other one was closer to me.
I had never PHd before because I never had a problem with it. However this time I did and was told to test my run off water. My runoff tested at 7 on the dot. I bought hydrated lime but some people say not to us hydrated. Any input?always garden lime the soil.Garden lime is 5 bucks a 40 lb bag. two teaspoons per gallon should do you well.
The next thing you should add would be azomite.About 40 bucks for a 40 lbs bag.Allot of hydro shops carry it or can get azomite.
Azomite is a mined mineral that has every known micro nute in it.Your plants with these will never fall out of ph..and Never have a micro nute deff. of any kind.
Even expensive soils do not have enough lime in them to balance Ph correctly .Allot of PH problems come from water..the waters ph might be correct before you pour it into your dirt.
But once the water sits in the soil or media it is poured into the PH can fluctuate and change depending on the water quality.
Most all of the deff you see in a plant are not actually deff. at all,but a ph lock out that makes it look like types of deff.
Between the azomite and garden lime it should solve your problems or at least narrow it down.To what it is NOT and then it will make it easier to figure out what it IS.
Ive heard raider talk about using happy frog with never a problem with PH.There however have been allot of people who are using fox farm on here that have apparent PH problems with their soil.
Actually just MG all purpose until I get my gyna gro sent.BTW, you got some input at the Riddle3m site on this issue.
How much of the 24-8-16 food and how often? Sounds like the Vigoro brand. Yes?
Yeah, that isn't a lot. When I water or fertilizer I use a lot more to drench, like 1 - 2 quarts per 5 gallon pot, enough for a good runoff. I rarely go over 1 tsp/gal.Its a water soluble 24-8-16. I use two teaspoons per gal but only 1/3 cup of this solution every other watering.
A root bound plant is not good.I hate going to this because as an experiment I once grew to plants all the way up to flower in 2 oz dixie cups and never had a problem, but do you think maybe being root bound is the problem?
Lol this I know. But is it the cause of the spots? At the end of the day the plant is disposable. Just bagseed. My main concern is figuring out the cause for future reference so I'm not just guessing at possible solutions. Ill repot again. It seemed to have at least slowed the problem beforeA root bound plant is not good.
