Did you over water everyone of your 75 plants or just those four? And were those 4 the only ones outta the 75 that had ph issues or did you have to re adjust all 75 of your plants? And oh ya, what does having a picture of a droopy plant have anything to do with ph? You probably just over watered like this guy cause you have 75 plants and your a noob. Just sayin, i read your thread dude

Ha what im loling about right now is that someone told you that it was a ph issue when you freaked out and you believed them.

ha. Actually I read so many threads and saw so many pics a high ph, I purposely overdosed some of my plants I didnt like with 8.5-9.0 water, made a thread to see what happened. the pics are proff. over watering yes, its a big problem around here.
I dont recall freaking out about my problems, if I have problems I know exactly what they are and dont have to ever ask advice from anyone... looks to me I have never grown a plant before, why are they so awesome??
Not trying to start a big debate here. but ph can cause droopy leaves, dark green growth, lead to lock-out, and cause nitrogen toxicity. just saying.
ah just to add its 150 plants, 75 are autos and most have buds about 1inch across, 3inches long and they are only 35. days old...

And i guess that you were having lockout already before they even got out of the solo cups. That is some fast acting water you have huh? Leads to lock out in under a month. What was that, 10 waterings and youve got lock out? Is that what youd like me to believe? Sure bud, im a believer

qft...
The MOST common problem is over watering. Never water by time, always by weight. Doesn't matter if it's 2 days or 2 weeks, only water as needed. Wet to dry is the rule.
PH and ph meters are the biggest scam that is most often believed. Baseline your source to start with and never adjust mid process no matter what the reading is.
Different nutritional additives WILL change your ph temporarily but it changes quickly. Any adjustment you make to bring it back up to where you think it should be will only result in pushing it out of the upper range.
There are many times more problems caused with a ph meter then a ph meter fixes.

i dont trust digi meters what so ever. Got the most expensive unit,,, ph ec ppm temp all the extra shit. $500 buks later my buddy calls me up,,, so I go look at his plants, high ph,,, I test the water with his $500 meter 6.2, I test it with my fish tank tester... 8.3 he tests the calib. liquid 7.0 I test the liquid 7.0.. we did this 3-4 times, brought the meter back to the grow shop, got a brand new one, same thing is wrong with the new meter... I hate those things. I will always use fish tank testers for all my grows...
works great every time!!

Thanks for all your replies I don't think ph is the issue(although I could be totally wrong) ph is around 6.0 ec around 1.5ish I've only watered 3 times now and there 3 weeks into veg I wait till the soil is nearly dry and then water till I get a small amount of run off it's abit of a double edge blade is this soil business lol

Temps are fine when the lights are on but dip to like 16 17 when it's dark so maybe your rite?...

Ok, so weve established that its not ph. According to you its not over watering. This isnt going to get solved without any details. Temps seem fine. Details please. What type of light, how far away, are you feeding them yet, if so how often, how much, and how often of what are you feeding them? Light shedule, ppm of your water before nutes, does it smell, is it from a well, growing system used, size of containers, basiclly anything that you think is an important or unimportant piece of the puzzle. Or have they gotten better? It could just be that they were dropping cause they were thirsty and they drooped. Details.

Ok so temps with the lights on are always between 25 28 I'm using hps lights about 18 inch from the tops I've fed them for the last 3 weeks on cyco grow A and B b1 boost zyme silica and uptake I feed them roughly once a week till I get a small amount of runoff I've not noticed any bad smells the plants smell of weed though there currently on 18/6 I'll be honest I never took the ppm before nutes no it's from a normal tap in a domestic household grow system is in 10 litre pots watered by hand thanks for the reply

do they look any better?, if the temp in my room climbs to 83-85 before the environment controller switches to exhaust, some of the 30 plus strains in my room will droop a bit, not a big deal, I just let them do what they do, transpirate. if the temp at the canopy is warmer than the general, soil, buckets, or floor, my plants will also droop a bit. I keep fans going to make the air temp even thru-out my rooms.
some times drenching would be considered overwatering, meaning water is running out of the bucket and therefore it is too much. Let them dry and everything should go back to normal, next watering only water untill the pots feel heavy, dont water untill it runs out the bottom. I only drench my pots about 1-2 per month, I let my pots get really dry so the roots search for water, I only water a little bit every 3-4 days and make sure they dry in-between each watering.
pot plants that smell like weed are the good ones!! keepers for sure...lol
