need help with ph problems

[aceyboiiiii]

Hi just wanted to kno what my.ph level should be im at 6.9 but i think that is to much for my medium as its not soil i got it from thr hydro shop it came in 40l bag and looks same as coco and has few pebles in it like a mix i have little brown spots on my bottom leaves is that the problem ?? And would i need the ph to be 5.8 for it to be perfect ?? Thanks for any help

go back to the store and get fox farm ocean Forest potting soil. get a big pot and put the soil in the pot, then put in the plant and cover the coco with soil as well, then water it and maybe this will save your plant.

How old are the plants? Which pH are you referring to - the tapwater? Or runoff? How about a pic?

Tapwater with nutes

I see some canoeing. Probably from heat because they look good. Don't even worry about pH at this point. Seriously. Unless you change water sources.

Most likely the beginning of a trace deficiency. Are you using any Cal/Mag at this point? Or any micronutrients?Those plants look damned good.

Use your veg nutes until about week 3 of flower as the plant really needs the nitrogen boost for the stretch etc. But add your trace minerals now. Then begin your bloom nutes at week 3 at 1/4 strength of the suggested feed on the bottles. Much easier to address a deficiency than try to correct nutrient overload.

"Trace" are your micronutrients and the bottle should be marked as Micronutrients. Rhizontonic are rooting products so not helpful here. Cannzym is enzymes. Enzymes are co-vitamins. A vitamin is a substrate specific element. An enzyme helps unlock the vitamin. Check out Azalea food at a gardening shop. It works great for bloom and micros including sulfur which is important in bloom. No apologies are necessary and this is how we learn. You would not believe the things I have learned here.

Thanks alot i have just orderd sum of it also should i lower my nutes to say 1/2 and then a ph level of 5.8 would that fix the problem and the mircronutrients ?

That sounds like a good plan and start. What brand food did you order? Miracle Gro brand has too much N and no S. Good luck.
