If your water is 7.2 I gurantee the correct nutes will drop it down , maybe too much
My nute water is pretty much the same. Looks like its hanging around 7.2 mabe 7.1. I dont have ph down or up, and not gonna buy it either. Organic growers use lemon juice and vinegar, so thats what I'm going with. It should work fine, better nothingyes if you removed all the food from your medium you must replace it and also balance your ph so you can eat it . no point in dragging your friend to buffet with you only to duct tape their mouth shut
I will check again, but I think it just dropped it down to mabe 7.1. I only use a quarter of recommended nutes as well. That could be a factor.If your water is 7.2 I gurantee the correct nutes will drop it down , maybe too much
Your saying that would be good for my autos is to crank it up to 1/2 nutes?U need 1/2 - 2/3 strength or yer waisting your time
It's not Coco, it's soil
Yer plant needs food,so feed it
Usually you would try 1/4 and then if she behaves good crank it up to 1/2. Autos are more fragile than photos regarding nutes, meaning you should give them perfect rationed nutrients so you don't stunt them and lose precious veg time. Also I don't think autos need 100% nutes like photos. The ruderalis genes makes them tougher. Never exceed 1/2 IMO unless it's a particularily hungry strain. Ph is key. Try searching for other ways to lower your ph if lemon juice doesn't do the trick. I'm sure there are many other ways in the organic worldYour saying that would be good for my autos is to crank it up to 1/2 nutes?
I bumped to 1/2 nutes, and like Bob said it dropped my ph. I started feeding that to my plants now. The plant was flushed a week ago, and watered once with a quarter strength. She is 7 weeks and one day old. I hope this works and thats all she was craving was more nutesUsually you would try 1/4 and then if she behaves good crank it up to 1/2.

When I bumped it to 1/2 nutes it dropped my ph to around 6.3. So I started doing that, cross our fingers this is the issue.U need 1/2 - 2/3 strength or yer waisting your time

Good luck. Let's hope the problem is fixed. Sending good vibesI bumped to 1/2 nutes, and like Bob said it dropped my ph. I started feeding that to my plants now.

At the very least I need it to survive until 13 more days, so that's the bright side. It's not a ph issue, because I tested the run off and it was fine. So if its not a ph, and probably not a nute lockout problem since I just flushed last week, im assuming it needs nutrients. Im running out of possible issues at this point.Good luck.

Maybe some pest? Like a stupid minuscule bug? IdkAt the very least I need it to survive until 13 more days, so that's the bright side.

Grrr that is what I hate about these guys, if its not one issue, its anotherMaybe some pest? Like a stupid minuscule bug? Idk
Here's pic of her. She just started doing this mabe only 3 days ago as well. Well going to check soil ph when u get home from work. If its not that, then idk. Like I said, I just hope I was giving to little nutrients. Has others gotten this with happy frog after 7 weeks, or got it after a flush, or got it through using a quarter of nutrients for fox farm?Maybe some pest? Like a stupid minuscule bug? Idk
I’d cut my losses & start again sorry to say. There be no coming back from that. A suggestion for next time, keep a better grip on ph levels & if they need adjusting dont do it with lemon juice or vinegarHere's pic of her. She just started doing this mabe only 3 days ago as well.

I didn't do any lemon juice or vinegar, the extra nutrs drop the ph when I went to 1/2 nutes. I dont think she is that bad yet to call it quits on her.I’d cut my losses & start again sorry to say.

This is her today after nutes yesterday. I dont think she got worst which is good. That may have been the issue was the flush I did on her. Learned my lesson, flush on week 5. At the very least this girl has a little less than 3 weeks to gowhen youre growing with soil its best to just top dress with more soil. the people who use bagged soil i see have most success this way. keeps pH buffer and nutrients in the medium. makes sense to me.
just put a couple handfuls of ocean forest on top each time you water and forget the nutes and ph
