i second this lol

if the tips of the leaves are turning brown and "burning" they are getting nute burn and your im guessing homemade soil recipe is too hot for the plant

I think he is saying 60% OF (Ocean Forest) 20% HF (??) & 20% PER (perlite).

Its hard to say what the issue is what is HF, your temps, humidity?

Peace out

I was thinking nute burn also from the soil mix.

HF is prolly some type of worm casting or something similar, because if it is ocean forrest it shouldnt be burning unless its a really pussy plant lol

ya sorry for the confution hf stands for happy frog my temps stay between 77 and 84, humidity eny were from 30 to 45 it just depends on how much i water. but i think i narrowed it down to nute burn let me know what you think?

ph is reading 7.9?? what i am wondering is if it is the soil or if i waited to long to transplant its only efecting my my two bigest plants the smaller ones are doing great?

purpling means something, potassium I think. That's what it means, potassium

can be locked out by too much calcium, which causes alkaline readings in tapwater. Lowering your ph won't solve the problem, but you could dilute your tapwater with distilled or r/o water (which is cheaper @$.37 per gal)

So what makes a water alkaline? It’s the alkaline minerals in it, and the most important of these are the macro minerals calcium and magnesium. Acidic minerals lower the pH of water, so the ideal water is one that is high in calcium and magnesium and low in acidic elements such as chlorine, sulfates and nitrates. (Sodium is also an alkaline mineral but one that you want to be kept low in your water.)

edit: this link isn't talking about growing pot, just what makes water alkaline

7.9 is way high. even for soil. i like 6 to 7 myself.

 

[Biologically Incorrect]

Yep, you need to lover your PH like dannyboy said, 6-7 is perfect.

Peace out

i read it wrong its about 7 even. i checked my water and its at 7 to threw in a little limon juice to bring it down just a lil.

 

[dannyboy602]

U coulda done it without the lemon juice. Just keep monitoring your ph. If it stays around 7 you'll be in good shape. Wouldn't even feed it right now. It's kinda burnt and needs a break....like me
