it will allow you to bring your tap waters ph up and down from its base ph. to get the base test your tap water with the strips and find out what it is, probably close to 7 or in my case 8, once you know your base you know if you need to go up or down. your goal is close to 6.5 the strips I linked you go to 6.4 so that's good enough , use the PH product up or down to get there, use it slowly as in drops at a time. 1 gal for me takes 15 drops to get to 6.4. add maybe 10 drops, shake and test with a bit of the strip , add more if needed. if your PHing with feed add the feed to your tap then test the ph after (feed can change ph) if needed add up or down to get to 6.5(or close).
you can avoid all this if you go organic FYI

PH to 6.5 just means mix your nutes and ph the mix to 6.5. Pot takes up nutes at different ph levels. Here is a chart to show intake in soil and coco, you can see how they differ. If your PH is not right you will either miss nutes or lock out nutes.can you give more details for --> ph to 6.5 for soil? is it s product or you just mean, be sure the PH is 6.5?

Thanks a lot man, really appreciate your effort to explain!
What do you mean, you can avoid all of this if I go organic? how do I go organic? I'm using organic soil and seed.

I meant organic super soil sorry , in true organics you don't need bottle nutes you just feed microbes with teas and the microbes feed ur plant , you add amendments to the soil so that the plant has a buffet of sorts to choose from . requires some forethought and isn't as simple to start unless you buy ready to go super soil

once you get the basics you can start asking advanced organic growers their choices of amendments and tailor your soil to your needs. one way or another you gotta put some work in

I would just try to ride this plant out feed less frequently as salt builds up quickly using hydro food in soil, you might sqweek to harvest as the plant will use its stored nutrients, I've had worse looking plants
"You might sqweek to harvest as the plant will use its stored nutrients" What you mean? Don't hate me!!!

your plant is using its stored nutrition in its leaves to survive since its roots cant properly uptake. it will keep killing of fan leaves to survive, hopefully if you can't correct your deficiency the plant will still survive on stored energy . think of it like stored fat in the human body, you only use stored fat cells when your not intaking proper diet"You might sqweek to harvest as the plant will use its stored nutrients" What you mean? Don't hate me!!!

this plant was started on advanced nutrients but iended up exactly where your at in soil , it ate almost all its fan leaves and I harvested once it started into the buds
