It has been about 2 weeks, and this is what I have done... I gave up on trying to get the pH runoff in check because I have read that it is not all that relevant and also I am just going to give up on FoxFarm Ocean Forest and go with Coco. Not just for this reason, but for others as well...

Thank you! I will go tomorrow then. I was going to add dolomite lime as I found FF OF on the East Coast is known to be very acidic. And in general known for its lack of cal-mag. Would this make sense? I also have a post about my clones taken from these plants. They are getting brown and...

I have only a few leaves on each plant with issues. They keep pressing through. All are about 8 weeks old. 3 plants have been moved to flower and have been flowering for 3 weeks. 3 more are joining them as we speak. Overall, they are doing well except for some yellow specs on some leaves...

I just went through 9 gallons of RO water at 7.4 and the runoff started at 5.2 and is now 5.8. But I cannot get it up to 6.2 to 6.8. I read to flush until it gets to the desired pH. I have 3 3 gallon buckets full of Ocean Forest, which I know is known for its issues...but I am stuck with...

That is interesting. I do not really have a choice at this point. I was considering removing the bad ones early, but since no one has suggested that it is a disease or pest issue, I am going to let them ride it out to see what happens. Thank you.

No I did not. What is recommended? With cal/mag supplements, that would set my pH right? Thanks!

Using the Foxfarm schedule as they recommend...all their products. I was at 6.5 regularly, but then I started seeing signs of deficiencies...not just one. So I finally narrowed it down to pH problems. When I found the run-off at 5 or below, I started trying to fix it. And here I am. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. Apparently this is not true with the ez-clone. No misting, no dome. Humidity is about 50%. 12 of the 15 look fine. Thanks.

Is there a pH of water and/or nutes that is too high to run through? I mean, I am sure if I jacked up the pH to 9 and ran it through I would surely get the right pH out. Is that okay though? Can I always adjust my pH to 8 or 9 in order to get 6.5 out? I am reading up on pH but it is pretty...

Sorry, it was in the original post but not completely written out, it is Ocean Forest by Fox Farm. Thank you.

It's only been 2 days...but, no, no roots. There is one other that is starting to show similar signs, but all the others look okay. I was just doing more research, could the lights being too close cause this? Thanks.

Thank you. I have no idea then how to get my pH issues under control if I cannot test run-off. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

I was just reading about "buffering". What do you mean by your statement? Thanks.

One clone in my 30 site EZ Cloner is showing some silver and brown spots. Used a 30x loop and saw no signs of Thrips or other pest. Only can assume its a nute issue. My water is pH 6.2 and water temp is 72. Thanks!

I have been what I assume to be pH issues (all sorts of signs of nute deficiency). I have read that run-off pH is critical to it doesn't mean anything. So assuming it is just a preference, lack of understanding among all, or dependent upon environmental variables, how come I cannot get my pH...

Thanks for taking a look! I will add more nutes as you suggest and hopefully this goes away. I just bought the reverse osmosis system and will have to installed tonight. :-) Thank you!!!

If its environmental, which do you think is more likely? I am switching to reverse osmosis water today and will continue to balance to pH. The thing is it is only 2 out of the 10 plants. Anyhow, I am going to start watering and feeding more as well and see if the problem gets better or worse...

Thank you so much for your insight. I looked at the undersides with 30x and I do not see anything. The pH is 6 to 6.5. I will research thripes...thank you for the suggestion.

Bump...can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

First time grower...learned a lot from this forum (thank you all) and have been lurking for quite a while...first time post. I am growing in a 2x2 tent with a Hydrofarm FLC0125D Fluorescent Grow Light. I started Dutch Passion Blueberry from 10 seeds. I am using the Fox Farm nutes...soil too...
