Im a new grower and I need help .I just bought some clone from a dispensary and my foxfarm ocean forest haven't came yet . So I bought some cheap Miracle-Gro soil to plant them in. My house water pH after I reverse osmosis it is 7.2 . I started watering it with the water . It came time for a feeding and I mixed my nutrients not checking the pH because I didn't have a pH meter at the time . Then the yellowing and the droopy leaves set in . When all my grow things came in from Amazon . I was able to check the feeding pH and it was 5.56 , I know that wasn't right so I up the pH to 6.2 . And it looked like it got worse . Then I up the pH to 6.5 and I don't see no change. If anyone can help I would be very grateful.
pH help plz

What type of Mircale-Gro did you use and what nutrients? Most MG soils have a lot of nutrients built in so feeding on top of that may be the issue?
The nutrients I used was URB nutrient, liquid seaweed by blue planet nutrients , blackstrap molasses unsulphured, .

Well, im on my first grow so I'm no expert but I bet your soil it hot and adding nutrients to hot soil will burn the plant. I planted 2 clones in Root Organics soil and started to feed right away and messed up my plants. I flushed and my PPM was 1700 yikes. My soil lasted about 3 week in veg before I needed to add anything. I would transplant into the soil you're going to use and water with pH'd water only. Curious what others say.

Depending how long you left before giving the different ph'd water you could of overwatered them, if you can post a pic we should be able to see swelling in the leaves if it is that.
As another poster said above, mg is hard to get right. The odd person gets on well with it but the majority has mega problems. My first thought would be to get it out of the mg into a medium with less / no nutes as soon as possible which could help with over watering a bit because the new medium is not saturated and could help if mg is too hot.
At this point without a pic (not in purple light please
) it is really just guess work.
