Got ph problems Help!!!!

KillsPlants · May 9, 2015

I tested my run off because I got a calcium def n I knew it was because of lockout.

5.1 on both girls

flushed 5 gallons thru a 2 gallon pot of PhD water from my tap that's 8.3 I was using spring water at 6.5 got soil ph up to 5.9

what do I do now?

should I flush again with high ph if 9.5?? any advice gets liked!

using mg 6 month

More info and pics. Run off means nothing and will have you chasing your tail.

What led you to this conclusion?

I wouldnt worry about your runoff. Ph the nutes going in and stop fucking with shit. If is coming out waaaaaaay off then move it a bit, not like what your doing. Second you chould have flushed with water thats phd and then had calmag added to about 200 ppm by volume. Just add your calcium, and mag if you need it or havent added any yet. Anyway. Stop over thinking it. Just ph in and keep running calmag and itll all go away.

doing nothing has gotten me to this point of it getting worse I've had this issue since 2 weeks in n it's getting worse. This is my first female budding cycle and I don't want to lose her. growing hasn't slowed so what ph should I water at and how much calmag do I need to add to water stronger than 2 mls it would seem

You won't lose the plant. It has calcium deficiency. no biggie. One drop of calmag per litre will make it go away. At first add a couple....not a million extra drops. Like if you water out of a five gallon bucket, instead of adding 20 drops, add 25 drops.

NO,,,doing nothing about pH in soil IS doing something. FOR GODS sake STOP flushing - your going to cause more problems then your trying to fix!!!

pH all ingoing to 6.5 and STOP pHing the run off! The pH of the run off is the pH of the run off, NOT THE pH OF THE SOIL!!!
It's not effecting the new growth so why are you wound up over this?
Forget it and keep going or,,,,,,look for mites as it looks like mite damage, but again, it does not appear to be on the whole plant...so it's corrected if you don't find mites..

It is MOST assuredly is NOT a pH problem!

I wouldn't do ANY of that, you have a soil that has nutes, has ph buffers. those nutes are time released. checking the run off of that soil, adding ANYTHING to the water, including ph up and down, will only cause more problems. I would just use plain water from this point, chalk it up to lesson learned and not use it again.my 2 cents

Nothing wrong with mg.

I can look at his pots, temp and humidity gauge and they both come from wal mart.

Op has cal issue.

Stop worrying and treat the cal issue like stated.

Sometimes people don't have access to the shops others do and are stuck using the big box stores.

it's not good for MJ, we want to control all aspects of our grow, not rely on time released nutes in the soil. HD sells premier peat moss and perlite, a much better mix for use with synthetic nutes. OP has a lockout because he is adding things to his MG soil which already has EVERYTHING in it. Adding more stuff will only create more problems.

what do you mean by using the same water? is it distilled or R/o?

People say that all the time mg is not good for cannabis. I used to use nothing but mg. You can grow good weed in it. The key to is to use it and water only. Then use something if a deficiency pops up.

you COULD grow in a pile of horseshit too, but why would you? It isn't the best choice is all I'm saying, and it is the worst choice for a new grower.

Actually I do use horse shit, composted. Yea it probably not the best or for beginners.

same tap water

KillsPlants · May 10, 2015

I haven't added anything to my mg but perlite ftr

Dr. Who · May 10, 2015

Well you flushed it.....That can be a real problem with MG as the added moisture/lasting longer will pop open more of those timed release nutes and bring on the burn faster.....
