not been growing long, had some mixed advice on another forum about my last plant, turns out it had a pretty serious phosphorus deficiency (which noone on that forum spotted) It doesn't help that Ive only got shitty pH meter, but I'm pretty sure both of them had too high PH (the one in this photo is reading @ about 7.5).
Ive been feeding it water treated with PH down, but again, the litmus paper I got is pretty cheap and unreliable, anyways the fee I gave last night looked like it was at about 5.5, however I then stupidly added a dose of nilnat (to kill the fungus gnats - theyre still bloody there tho) and forgot to check the ph after, anyways after feeding the pH of the soil is HIgHER!!!!
Seems like all these suplements are prolly taking things out of my skillset, specially given the shitty tools I got to work with...
Can anyone recomend a quick and easy cure for the continuing abuse Im subjecting this poor plant to?!IMAG0464.jpgIMAG0463.jpgIMAG0464.jpgIMAG0463.jpg

Yeah, if I where you bro and I had just started out growing I would just keep it simple until I understood everything about growing, but in the mean time get you a simple mixed soil like something good and organic, put the plant in that, then get yourself some Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect Nutes, you won't have to use not 1 meter to ph your water again until you can get a better understanding of where your ph needs to be. I keep my ph around anywhere between 6.0 - 6.3 and my girls do pretty good. Just thought I would offer you a "quick fix" that would get you buds and you won't have to worry about anything other then feeding/watering it, and in the mean time study,study,study.. :mrgreen: that's about the best information I could give you bro.. hope it all goes well for you...

Cheers for the feedback folks - Dankster, I appreciate what ur saying but Ive got good nutes I think -- using old timers plant magic, which r sposed to be pretty hard to fuck up, also it doesnt really make sense to change the soil @ this stage as she's well rooted all through the pot.
It is super droopy, Im kicking myself for not leaving it another day before topping her up, but my biggest worry is the pH issues, I just don't feel right chucking all this acid in mix, specially when it doesnt even seem to be changing the soil pH (although thats prolly my fault for not mixing it right) this is the stuff Im using http://www.growell.co.uk/hydroponic-ph-up-down.html obviously its ment for hydro, Im guessing this might be the reason why it isn't really effecting the soil. Here in the Uk its pretty hard to find a lot of the products u guys recommend, but I m gonna get a soil mix for the next grow.
I'm also wondering about the fucking gnat issue, how comes the nilnat isnt working? That shit cost £20 for a tiny lil bottle, worked the first time and has been wack ever since!!! could it be cos they're in airpots so the gnats can get in via many different ways? Should I stop using it -- bit worried it might be effecting the plant.
It is V droopy, but more concerning the leaves are growing small and slowly + its an auto so I'm on a ticking clock.
Cheers for the advice folks D

My main question tho is what can I do right now to get this girl back on track - do I keep fucking about with the pH down, or is there another (fairly cheap) alternative?

Get some dolomite lime and ad it to your soil and you won't need to Ph your water I use sunshine #4 wich already has lime and I don't worry about Ph and haven't had any problems

Lookup SNS . Its a product that all natural, and they do a "FREE" program to test out there products, and will send you packs that kill anything from, the gnats you mentioned, to spider mites, thrips, etc' list goes on & on.
Here is there web address : http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&redir_esc=&client=ms-android-americamovil-us&source=android-browser-type&v=133247963&qsubts=1364439502290&q=sns+products&v=133247963

They sent me the trial package to give a try for free, just have to send them an email, and I do believe they have something saying something about the free trial package on the site, idk for sure. I believe I just sent them an email. But the stuff really does work, and you "won't" find yourself having to buy, & buy other products to get rid of the problem.

Ps. The reason I mentioned the soil change was because I didn't see where you where using soil as your medium. And the reason why I mentioned the other "nutes" in because the ones I hit on is "ph perfect" can't fuck it up. You wouldn't have to even ph your water, was just trying to make things eaiser on you, being your new to growing is all bro.
