Help Noobie having big problems-they are dying

I have 3 plants in 3 gal containers in soil.The soil I originally made from a mix of Scotts preimum top soil (no nute) moo-nure (small amount .05-.05-.05),and peat moss,with pearlite to keep it loose.
I use Shultz 10-15-10 lightly (about every other feeding,though it says to use every time)(and I mix it at half the recommended strength).
If you look at the pics the leaves look dried up and deformed,this scared me and I bought a Hanna checker to check PH,it came with a 7.1 buffer solution, I calibrated according to information (it had the 7.1 pack but NOT the 4.01 to adjust both screws on top-but I did do the 7.1 adjustment).
I ran a gallon of water through each pot and used a clean large bowl to catch the runoff-the runoff was at 7.89.
Im going to check it again today,I dont think Im going to kill them doing it,but they will most certainly die if I dont do something.
Question-if the PH is that high-how can I bring it down -I know it will have to be slow, I have read that using vinager,or lemon juice will do it with plants-but dont want to be apart of thier demise.
PLEASE look carefully at the pics,Im only posting because I have not seen this in a pic on the internet anywhere-thanks in advance

What lights you using?

What temp are the plants subject to?

Looks like acute heat damage to me, with it affecting the uppermost leaves

It has been hot here 68 night 90 days. I was worried about the PH so I checked my water supply and found it to be near 7.75.Of course Im a jump the gun guy (not a good thing) but I adjusted the water to 6.75 with a very small amount of vinegar and used 1\4 teaspoon of super thrive in a gallon of water and hit the sickest of my girls, I just dont know what to do,and as always with me stupid is as I do-did it to one to see if they turn around,I could always place a fan on them but they are outdoors and getting plenty of air.

i'm gonna say a mutation your growing from seed right ?

I've seen It! use no moo nure!!!!!! kills your dope! Also shultz at half strength,is still way to hot for most weed that small,WAY!!! mix as directed and cut to 1/4th if that,once a week ! But most of all cow manure is killing your plants, NOW is a good time to top that burnt growth . Replant Scotts soil if not organic is full of chem funguscide,and insecticide. Black gold organic from the nursury or home and garden center will be a better choice npk 0.05-0.0-0.0..
Im afraid that to continue with this type of burn is going to take some work,dry them out replant them in new soil (NO COW MOO). when you flushed with cow moo you only compounded the issues. Use leached coffee grinds to bring your ph issues under control. Dump the shultz, use real nutes or tea made from worm casting and un-sulfered tea.
This is made easy with fish airpump and air stone and a 5 gal pickle bucket from the cafe on the corner!
This is the way I like to grow. I've tryied so many of the expensive nute feeding programs personally, I think they are ALL for people with way more money than brains. Certainly true if growing in soil. I get just as much if not more production of way better tasting,smokeing,curing,and looking, pot without all the compleatly retarded effects like what you are experiencing. I simply don't have those issues anymore. Do yourself a huge favor and stear clear of the steer. And check out the posts by the talented organic growers on this forum, once you start growing organic and see the diffrence it makes in quality you won't go back to chem~! peace!


WOW !!!! After reading what you just did I wish I could have typed faster, didn't catch you in time sorry man. If you need a little help with your next attempt try personal messages I'll get back with you promise..
Let her dry up, and we will see what we can do!!! I prefer private messages to avoid this bad advice thing that happens here with all the zit pickers that think they are experts, because they are growing a scraggly plant in their closet, without thier mom and dad finding out!

See what I mean, That is not a mutation, that's a cow manure +shultz burn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your ph will stay jacked as long as it's in cow manure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also 90d Is pretty hot,unless you are using c02... Out doors probably not an issue, if in a good breezy area.

It's a combo of the soil + nute mix, mellow has your options covered.

regards,

its nothing to do with the PH its heat damage, the rooms like a furnace i think it gets over 100. Cool it down, fans ,exhaust, cooltubes etc.

It's being grown out doors buds!
