Help plant is struggling

[Noahjake212]

I guess it could be something else I bought pH down and soil acid stuff but I wanted to test it first and that's what I got

 

[Noahjake212]

thats a bad long term ph imbalance. 8 is entirely too high for any medium. get it down to about 6.5, do a light leeching, with water ph'ed to 6.0, maybe 2 gallons, whatever it takes to get about a quart of run off, then make sure you ph your water, after you add your nutes, EVERY TIME. don't stop checking it till you've done it so many times you know what the meters going to say within one point every time. then check it anyway

What's the move?

have you been getting any run off when you water? has the pot been absorbing it all, with vert little leakage out the bottom? all i can really think of at this point is bad salt build up in your roots. if thats not it, i'm stumped.
at this point i'd water it with plain, ph'ed water till you get a fair amount of run off, then give them a light feeding with a good dose of cal-mag, ph'ed to 6.1. i think i'd let it dry out and repeat that cycle a couple of times and see if it helps, then resume regular feeding, remembering to get a little run off at least every other time

I treated it as if the ph was too high put some acid stuff and watered over it with pH down. Thanks for the help we'll see what happens.

Looks like you have a few problems. The leaves have a lot of specks usually bugs or a calcium def. OF is a commonly used soil I'd be surprised if the ph was off that much. Those tri meters are shit, but even if the ph was 8 calcium is still available if it's in your nutes or water.

Bud rot and root rot are some other possibilities to look into

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

root rot was at the back of my mind...easy enough to take care of, add 13 ml of h2o2 to each gallon of water for about a week, see if it helps, if it does, do it about once a week after that

 

[Noahjake212]

And I get plenty of runoff out of bottom I might have gotten a bit of perlite in the test and is making me think it could have made it lighter in color but I really don't know. And is there a way to test for root rot

Or maybe you have a Phosphorus deficiency
