Ph is about 4 in the mix of water, and flower feed.
I haven't given them any flower nutes yet because of this.
I ph to 6.5, and my runoff is between 6.4-6.5. And no discoloration, all a nice solid green
Like everything with the soil and plants are fine. I just cant get my flowering feed to ph out at a reasonable amount. Maybe I could buy alkaline water from the store and try to use that to mix it with?
The reason why is because you're using inorganic ph up & down to ph organic nutrients. There is no point in phing organic nutrients. I'm using the same nute line as you. Just mix the nutes up and check the ppm'.
Stop using ph up & down, you're killing all the organic matter in the nutrients & soil. There is no need to ph your nutes in soil. again, the soil is going to buffer the nutrients to what it likes. You have no control of that.
Fuck wasting your time phing the nutrients brother. You're chasing something that you shouldn't in the first place and stressing your self out. Get a soil test kit and check the ph of the soil. Run off means shit as well.
Do not feed nutrients every feeding either, alternate between feed and plain h20. You're going to get salt build up in the soil and then you're going to definitely lock your self out. Also ff soil is extremely hot to begin with.
If you're using tap water let it sit out for 24 hours & throw an airstone in the water. I bet you have chlorine & chloramine. Chlorine will also kill all organic matter, even your plant. That's why you should let water stand for at least 24 hours. chloramine will also kill all organic matter. That is a bit tricky to remove from water as boiling h20 will not get rid of it. You need to filter the water very , very, very slowly with a charcoal filter for at least 48 hours. Get your self a water report from your local water & sewer dept. You will be able to see everything that is in your water. Or you can take a sample and send it to a lab via snail mail. Most labs charge 12$ for a test and then you can see what's really in your h20 & at what %. You can also get a soil test done for about the same amount as the water test.
Also what is solid green?
