soil ph is at 8.o , what can it be? and how can I fix it

[southbayLA154]

other than what I seemed to be having a ph issue , there is tiny bit of yellow on the tips of the leafs and the edges of the leafs are cupping up
the temps are at 68f-78f rh between 45%-55% I don't think its an evoirmental issue but perhaps the lighting I believe it was at 13 inches which I thought was at 16in so I raised to the actual 16 in after and it seems like there flattening out

 

[southbayLA154]

It looks good man. Pots too small already though.

yeah ill be transplanting Friday to final 5 gallon pot..

also guys I have a memory problem from dealing with epilepsy since I was a child and the multiple seizures I have had has cause man memory to not be the great anymore so I tend to have to reread/relearn if its not written in my journal

 

[southbayLA154]

Flame on!

JK man. You're correct though. Probably some of the lime and shit getting flushed out and raising runoff. Doesn't mean the soil pH is 8 though. His soil pH is probably fine. That's why I always say runff can give you an idea, but it can also be misleading.

People get so worked up in these threads about runoff pH, lol.

as you can see lol

I am still learning I don't know everything , why do some act like its an insult jeezus

just a lot of misinformation out there the beigginers gotta sift thru and see what works cause when u do try and get on the websites some people can be assholes and belittle others for not knowing everything off the bat, but sorry if I snapped just a lot of the belittling the I see and have experienced and im the type that doesn't like to see others being bullied specially if they can't defend themselves

but yeah thanks for the input

Bud, seriously here - keep it simple. Especially your first few grows. Don't overwater. Don't be anxious with the fertilizer. Keep your nutrient program very simple. Very simple. Main cause of plant death is overwater. Main cause of the plant damage we see here is over fertilizing.

Ya. Just chill man. Ride the wave. The worst thing you can do is keep doing shit to it when you don't need to. Personally I'd skip the manure. Chicken shit is powerful stuff and can really fuck you up fast if you don't know what you're doing. But that's my opinion.
Id be running a soiless medium ie promix or sunshine#4, steepwell soil and adding amendments to it. The manure can become hydrophobic overtime as well.

Are you on antiepileptic meds? Are you considering using full plant extract in place of or in addition to your prescription drugs?

Check YouTube. I don't ever say that except for Dr Bruce Bugbee on LED. However search for cannabis + seizure. I was an RN for a long time. 17 years in ER. Lots of experience with seizure activity. Check the one of the little boy having a seizure and they give him full plant extract sublingual. Seizure done! And it's not a lone example. In Texas they have a medical marijuana program. For patients with just one type of seizure activity. It works that well.

You're inventing a problem that doesn't exist. Those plants look fine. Quit worrying about some worthless runoff reading in soil. And why are you setting the pH of your water to 6?

Those plants look fine right now but if you start mucking around trying to change your soil runoff pH all you're going to do is cause problems.

thanks big time , yeah ill check it out its a lot better than putting pharmas synthetic chemicals in your body when there's an option that's natural and has great results .. I don't see how some people would rather put something in there body the was made in a lab over a natural option the is grown

If it makes you feel any better I have never tested the PH of anything, ever. As said, be very frugal with the chicken manure, in my experience, that stuff can be hotter than hell.

But your plant looks awesome, well done. When you pot it up do some reading on low stress training.

We don't have that brand in the UK. I use this stuff in the garden. The wife decided it would be a great idea to top dress a Courgette plant with it, needless to say it died.

I use it as a tea on my tomatoes and roses, you literally soak a hand full in a gallon of water overnight and it dissolves.
