So hi, i am doing my first grow and am 4 weeks into flowering bagseed ,of what seems to be a sativa/indica cross.It's about 5 feet tall,very long and thin leaves at the top going to more thick leaves towards the bottom.
Well,the veg period went great ,i am using potting compost i bought at homebase with added john inns.whichi assumed to be a fert so i left the plant unfed the entire 4 weeks i vegged .I wasn't expecting the stretch from 12 inches to more than 50 in a few weeks ,i started adding a light feed as soon as i switched.
Now the problem.
The last few week the plant has been ailing quite badly.The fan leaves have been yellowing at the edges then crisping and i've been picking them off left right and centre ,it looks a mess now.I knew i had either overfed or the water wasn't ok.So i went and got a ph meter and ec meter.
All i know is the results are bad ,but i don't know what to do from here.
Here is what is happening
PH of my tap water is 7.3
PH of the water when ive added some feed is 6.5
EC of water before ive added anything is 0.38 Sm
EC after added feed is 0.60 Sm
PH of water after it has drained through the pot is 5.0
EC of water after it has went throug the pot is 2.20 Sm
PLease assist me ,i know there is some very smart guys out there lol
Thanks for your time
