Need Help, Leafs turning yellow/crusty brown

alright, so never had this problem till now. The leafs for 2 of my girls are turning yellow/ breaking down into brown. I added chicken shit to one of them to add more nitrogen ect... anyways, any other good ideas?

Also, the Ph is low for both of them. I really need a Ph booster but im broke :/

HELPPPP MEHHH

you can use silica or baking soda to raise ph.

Garden lime or gypsum also works to raise and stabilize soil ph.

Sounds to me like a lock out issue from ph problems.

What do you consider "low" btw and how are you measuring it?
 
I guess it was just the water low Ph because the Ph is fine and i think its just because i dont have a thermometer and i left my set up open to air out and they look great. Can you see the photos on my thread?
whats your email and ill email you some pics. Also this is for medicinal use under prop.215 ... for the Man who is reading this
Anyways, you wanna help me and watch this girl grow? Sorta new to the whole Form

Baking Soda makes it more Basic, Vinegar makes it more Acidic.

Just add whichever you need to your water and you'll be good on Ph. Nitrogen, those leaves might just die. How far are you into flowering? The plant may be cannabalizing itself to use the nutrients to finish the flowers up. Or are you in veg? In which case, you need to look at a "Nutrient deficiency" chart (search google) and find out which yours is missing.
 
nope, its not the PH, a little low though. I triggered them all on 6.7 to 7ph... the one that looks amazing is only at 6.4.... ive been running the lights on for about 24/7 for 2 weeks now. Anyone get my photos?
Im pretty sure its the heat because its hot as fuck in their. I just got a thermometer and i left the door open this morning so when i get back around 9 ill try n post more pics to show.

Probable nute burn from the chicken poo. That contains much urea/uric nitrogen.

Silica and gypsum are neutral to acidic.
Baking Soda makes it more Basic, Vinegar makes it more Acidic.

Just add whichever you need to your water and you'll be good on Ph. Nitrogen, those leaves might just die. How far are you into flowering?

DO NOT use baking soda or anything sodic. Sodium ion isn't good for Cannabis.
Vinegar is quickly destroyed by soil organisms. cn

<edit> The pics show marginal burn, a classic tell for overdose of N. Replant at once in soil without the cluckerdumpies. cn

Your leaves look exactly like someone else that posted today. Go on Google, and look up "Nutrient deficiency chart" on Google images. And look at which one yours matches up to. I already saw the exact same thing on another thread today, I just forgot what exactly the problem was.
 
well i added the chicken poop after they started acting like this. It's gradually getting better once i opened the doors.. thats what is making me wonder. I got a thermometer but im not home yet, in about 2 hours i will be.
When i get home ill do before and after (last night pics VS tonight)
 
Ill add a lime because my dad uses that on his tomatoes, also uses chicken poo and they look amazing. But next time the Ph is low. Ill do a before and after with the Lime.
This is my first time growing also... if you couldn't tell

Ill take your word. So, how would i equal it out or do i just have to give it time?
Tell me your ways, sensei
Just give it time, if you've already given it what it needs, it will stop pulling what it needs from the leaves. They won't "get better", but they may get greener again, and the crusty parts fall off, and new leaves will grow (greener leaves).
