Well looks like mag def to me but are you overwatering to by chance just my opinion

ProMix

Sorry for the dumb question but which promix is it? I use Sunshine mix #4 advanced.

The reason is; if it is a soiless type with CoCo mixed into sphagnum and perlite the PH is way off.
I zoom in on the pix and it looks like it is. *Dabbing right now so I could be out of scope.

Needs more perlite whatever it is. Great you got Epsom salts but it needs some Calcium too.

#IMO

I grow in pro mix (pretty sure they are all soilless) and use foliage pro...

1.) stop with the Epsom salts. FP has everything she needs
2.) consider getting some dyna protekt, plants like it
3.) get ur PH down to 6

At ph 8 the plant(s) can't get no nutrients. Go with liquid nutes and liquid ph down.

Don't use ph up if you screwed up with too much ph down. Dump it and try again. Add everything you're using for fertilizer then do the ph. I do one gallon then I scale it from there for the res.

If you don't use a res for aeration, shake the jug of the mix well before watering to aerate the mix.

Thanks everyone! So I've Ph'd the water down to 6 and watered them a bit yesterday. Still a high Ph afterwards.

Should I water them with a 4 ph to bring it down to 6?

You have just raised the PH by using it so high in the first place, you can flush with a lower ph or just flush with a 5.8 and it will rebalance soon enough. Vary your ph from 5.8-6,2 to get the best of all nutrients when your feeding again. Soilless doesn't have a perfect ph balanced number so its easy to lock out one thing or another if you stick to a strict number like 6.

I try and keep mine in between 5.750 and 6.275 starting low and ending high

Should I water them with a 4 ph to bring it down to 6?

You water them at 4 they will die in the utmost fashion. I did that one when my PH probe was fuxed and didn't figure it out till a week later when the momma room looked like killing fields.

Just water a couple of times like CW said and it will be fine. Stay on the ca:mg too or suffer later. First 2 weeks of transition keep feeding grow nutes then switch over to bloom when you see flower tops. if you use those kinds of nutes (bottles).

Thanks everyone! Lowered the water ph, added maintenance amount foliage pro, they are loving life

 

[cocojo3]

Flush with the correct ph. If you lower the ph too much to compensate you'reliterally adding acid to your pot lol
