hey JD, the dosido still seems to be where its been for the pst week. however i noticed lower growth still had its natural color this almost makes me think that the plant was just burned due to the heat wave that we’ve had but id think that acclimated plants would be hardy enough to withstand a couple more degrees , but for the most part plant still has curls on new growth with some fading as well as red tint to the tips. thenother two photos are the gelato which im also growing same soil mix, same ph.

John,
I don't really see any fading. Actually looks better to me. Are you planning on just water for awhile? I think that's a good idea.

Also those top leaves pointing upward with a little folding...isn't that what is referred to "praying for magnesium?

correct just plain water till the problem resolves.i went ahead and supplemted some today i noticed that also. i think i may have found my problem... a while ago i found out my ph pen was running haywire shortly before breaking today i watered my plant and collected enough amount of run off to ph and i noticed it was coming in at 8.0 if not a littlbit higher any chance this is the source of my problem? also took these just right now.

John,
Definitely...an 8 ph could lock out certain nutrients. That's the problem with electronics...they can screw up. Even for hydro I just use the little litmus paper strips. It doesn't matter what the tenths are. As long as I can reliably come close. I'd go with 6.5 ph...

Your plants look amazing despite the issues. Good job man.

thank you brother probably couldnt have figured out with all your guys help! im going to give her a thurough watering with water ph’d on the lower side. i truly think my soil ph being at 8.3 may have caused her to lock out. i hope me adding small amounts off ammendmants doesnt burn her too bad...
