PH Question.?

[AdiiTaff]

ok so ive been growing a few plants which are turning yellow on me and dyin pritty quick. i havent got a ph tester yet but will be gettin on through the week. ive been feedin the plants ionic grow, im using canna coco pro plus. is it down to the ph being off and yellowing the leaves? if so what would be the best ph for the water i water with* obviously*. lol and what would be the best ph for the run off from the pot? thanks for any feed back. much appreciated.

soil is around the 65-6.8 mark i try to aim for mate most go to 6.5-7.0

so the water that runs off should be around 6.5 and 6.8. what should the ph of the water and the ph when the nutes are in? im guessin it will be the same but it cant be 6.5-6.8 can it ?

I've not grown in coco myself but shouldn't the pH be closer to the 5.8 mark?

well i hope its not the soil, ive heard good things about it thats why i used it. now im thinkin of goin with bio bizz pro-mix or miracle gro? for the simple fact that i dont like using nutes i keep burnin my plants. but it may be the ph, hence why i made this thread.

Yeah ph for coco should be ideally in the 5.5-6.0 range.. treat it like a hydro grow

is that the run off from the pot after i water? and if so what should it be of the water i water it with

Just make sure your water/nute mix is in that range (5.5-6.0) I never check my run-off using coco

No wonder you were having probs with the the yellowing lol most likely got nitrogen lock-out from the ph being off wack

 

[AdiiTaff]

is it because of the ph level not being right that my plant is going yellow even though i feed it? i only feed it 1/4 strength.
