Browning on tips seems to have stopped.

I finally got a ph tester and realized the ph of the tap water a was using was way to high. I mistakenly bought ph + so i used some lemon to get the ph down to 6.5, and through in a trace of nutes.

Heres some pics from a couple days ago.



The plants seemed to improve overnight after i watered it with the more neutral water.

Does it look healthy now?

Good job getting straight on that PH issue. To high or low of ph can stunt your plants growth completely, lol i have a plant in my backyard that's flowering at 7 inches with a 2 month veg because it was neglected and watered with really shitty hose water if ever.

get some proper PH solutions. dont rely heavily on stuff like lemon juice, vinegar, stuff like that to adjust PH.

they looking good right now. let em grow mayne.

the res/nutes dont stay stabilized over long period of time if the res of water/nutes are left standing. Maybe I should have highlighted if he was aerating the res for any length of time, and had added, say, vinegar to adjust the PH, and then left for hour+, came back and then fed them - the PH would have most likely fluctuated b/c of the short time that vinegar will keep the PH at the initial level.

[edit: it is true lemon juice is more stable, and is also good for chelating calcium. And yes, apple cider vinegar is often used. If he were doing hydro it could/should be noted that the res could possibly get bacteria. but since he's not, thats a moot point.]
