ph issues usually start with uniform discoloration on the leaves.. usually starts at the tips of the leave.. it looks to be like lack of oxygen or overwatering..

Fed one of the girls today and used your method of testing after the nutes have been added and HOLY SHIT did the levels drop,1.6 to be exact, so I added some baking soda and got it back up to roughly 6.6 . This particular girl has been showing uniform discoloration so your diagnosis seems spot on, +rep to you:mrgreen:. I will keep you updated on their progress and thanks again.

i think baking soda is only temporary... i think it adjusts it for a bit but as it gets used up the soil ph will lower again... you need to flush and catch some run off from the bottom of your pot and test the ph of that water.... i bet its 5.1 or something... i just had the same problem.

the claw like that can be built up nutes.

def mix up your nutes and then adjust ph

FLUSH and then go 1/2 nutes and only like 1/4 strength tiger bloom... stuffs mean to plants if they aren't used to it.

I flowered my girls on the last day of sept. so they are coming up on 3 weeks of flower, they have been getting the dose in the OP since then and only the one girl is showing the claw, so do you think I should back off the dosage, or feed every other watering with this particular girl?I picked up some flora kleen today, should I use that in my flush(5 gal pot so 15 gal of phd water) What do you recommend for a ph up besides baking soda?

lime works well and can be found at like menards, home depot, lowes... but be careful with it. mix it in the top part of the soil.

yeah flush with florakleen 15 gal on only the girl with the claw.... if the other one looks fine just leave it alone.. and then after the 15gal give it a 1/4-1/2 strength does of nutes then you won't have to water for 4-5 days cause the plant won't use much water the first day or two after a flush. then yes i would alternate feedings with straight ph water. gl
