[QUOTE="SICC";3008695]Because most your tap water or whatever your using is usually around or high then 6.5, which is the lowest point for growing, go's up from there, its a waste of time, what ever water your using should be fine, unless you some nasty mother fucer haha

A while a ago i was in a hydro shop, guy told my homie the same thing who asked what you did, i mean if you want to fine, that good for you but its real un necessary[/QUOTE]
ph has a scale from 1-14
how is 6.5 the lowest

 

["SICC"]

the lowest point at which you should have for pH for soil . . . .

smoke some weed

If you're talking to me, its outdoors. Its natural 12.12 over here next week!
=]

is that not allowed? do they have to be indoor?

im pretty sure it is, i think its 12/12 here outside as well, im trying to get some outdoor goin soon, my homie just pic'd up a bubba kush clone

6.5 is about the lowest range for soil. 6.5-6.8 is optimal in soil, hydro is lower.

u said u let it dry out and it was still like that

That's what I'm saying.

If you look at the 3rd pic I posted, you see those brown marks on the edges...it looks almost burnt, that's when I was watering only every other day. Once the two leaves split while growing, they just fell to the sides like that.

I think it will be okay, I was just feeling them.

Hmmm....

o i see what u mean now
but if u water with high ph water,wouldnt it raise the ph of the soil?
im high ...no need to smoke more

I don't think you should be watering every day

 

[Sharpies]

See, the edges look burnt, I thought because I let it get too dry (soil was dry), and the leaves were low like that then too.

 

["SICC"]

thats what we just figure out a page ago haha, that why hes having problems

 

[moash]

[QUOTE="SICC";3008814]thank you [/QUOTE]
im not arguing with u that its the lowest point for soil,i thought u meant all together
i just find it weird that u say not to ph soil cuz tap water is usually isnt lower than 6.5

Oh I'm pretty stoned . . . .

 

[Sharpies]

I think I just have a floppy strain

 

[scwascwa]

sharpie that is most def a ph problem bro especially if ur not watering a lot and soil was dry

as for people tellin u not to water every day dont listen your plant will tell you when it needs watered i water mine every day and it is the healthiest plant ive seen in while

the burn marks on your leaves.... high acidic ph will burn your plants get a ph tester bro

 

["SICC"]

yea dont listen to the people with experience

It started in Miracle Grow, which I'm sure there was some still clinging to the roots. Other than that, it's in Scotts top soil. I let the water sit out to lower the ph. If the ph is too high, is there any simple technique that doesn't involve purchasing another product right now? (I'm so broke!!)

 

[scwascwa]

sicc i wasnt meaning it like dont listen at all bro im just sayin a lot of people say dont water every day which aint true bro i water mine every day sometimes twice and i have had no problems ... if i dont water her then she droops and looks terrible sorry if i offended u

sharpie ive heard lot of people tell me they had problems with miracle grow that could be your problem too but to me looks like ph problem because of the burns in the leaves if it was over watered they would be yellow and drooping .. not burning

From what I know, it seems like the ph is the issue. I say this because the leaves have had those tiny burns on the edges since it got droopy...and during that time, the soil went from moist, to very dry, to moist again with the leaves looking pretty much the same. I read that I can use vinegar to lower ph. Would I just put a drop per liter of water? Or more?

huh,what do u know....i guess u do have to ph soil...get a ph tester to test the water after u mix it

 

[scwascwa]

idk about vinegar but i do kno that lowering and highering the ph doesnt take a lot i do a drop or to test it out if it dont work do another drop or 2 glad to see we found the problem
