How to cure a sick plant?

Ph when I feed/water is at 6.5 always. What should I do?
Dig out a spoonful of the soil and mix it with some distilled water. Shake it up and allow the water and soil to separate. Test the clear water to see what the soil pH is. You might have something in the mix that is causing the pH to be either acidic or basic. You must first determine if the soil pH is in a useable range.

I did dig some soil out of one plant on three different spots and mixed it with distilled water.
Ph is reading at 6.5. What os wierd is that they are showing me symptoms of slight over feed combined with N def... ffs every time haha can I pl3ase nail it one time
 
Some update...

I have measured soil ph for two plants out of four one reads at 6.6 and the other at 6.7.

Is this ok for soil ph? Or should I do a few waterings with 6.2 ph to try and bring it down??
 
Yo. Plants are doing fine but still have a few leaves that have signs of some kind of problems. I belive they are first week of flower now. I had some bad luck missed one wathering and found them completely dry and droopy. Some of the leaves got burned from heat stress maybe? Below are photos of leaves if anyone has ideas what could it be hit me up.

It was hot as hell few days so temp during the day in the tent was around 44°C. I have installed ventialtion and a shade net so I managed to drop it for around 5°C. Humidity is low 40% during the day but it gets high in the night and morning around 90%. They were fed today 6.3ph, stinging nettle tea with nutes 1850ppm. I gave them more because they are in first week of flower and I like to over feed them at that time. So yea if anyone has some advice for me feel free. Happy growing to yall

I think your plants are doing ok. Some of the older leaves are fading because the plant needed more N. You cant really fix that anymore. Looks like most of the plants new growth is a luscious dark green, keep it that way.
If you wanted to make things easier on yourself next year, try growing them directly in the ground. I would till the soil and prep it with a few bags of your choice soil, amendments, etc.
You will have to start your seedlings a little later, so that the plants dont outgrow the space. You could also try scrogging and pruning them in order to keep them at a manageable size for your greenhouse.

Hey Farmers Hat!

Yea I think that over all they look fine. Few leaves dying off due to N def. They got real big and I had to dig holes in the ground for two of them because space.
It's my first year growing with a tent so I didn't expect them to grow that much haha.

I like how your plants look real short, right? Keeping them low.

How much would you feed them? Like they are big. I feed mine around 1200ppm with few boosts to 1800 during flower.

This year im trying to keep my plants at around 5-6 feet tall. So ive trained them to open out real wide. Ive grown 12 foot monsters in an industrial greenhouse, and it was a fun experience. (See pic. White Rhino in the front)

I dont test ppm when I grow in the ground because I only use water. All the nutrients are mixed into the soil. Amendments like bone meal, blood meal, fish meal, mushroom compost, etc. I also do a light top dressing with slow release pellets. When in flower, I use molasses 1tsp per gallon of water. I give them molasses 2 times a week for the first 4 weeks then lighten up to once a week for the remainder of the flower cycle. Its a simple and effective way that has worked well for me.

Right on dude my life time wish is to grow plants as big as it can be. Sadly growing in my country is still illegal so I have to keep it low.

Great looking plants. Real bushes haha

Good luck man and be careful, can smell my outdoor grow from 100 yards away late in the season. Something to think about.

Man I can smell them right at my house on a good day. They started to flower so yea something to think about. Lucky enough I don't have people living close to me
 
Hey all!
My plants are at week 2/3 of flower now. Some have wierd leaves discoloration at the top of canopy it starts from the edges of the blade and than goes inwards. They get fed twice a week. Ph at 6.3 one feed is stronger around 1500ppm other lighter 800ppm. Some leaves also have brown spots looks like some kind of mould...

Anyway pictures added and if anyone could help me identify the problem that would be great.

Few more pictures...

To add it was really hot these days temps in the tent were around 40°C even though I did my best to ventilate it. Idk probably best that I don't stress that much now since they have 6/7 weeks to finish but than again I am quite obsessed with it haha

Looks like they might be a little light on the nitrogen side, especially in your first few weeks of flower. You're pushing everything towards New growth and you get a couple older leaves dying off but usually towards the bottom. If I were guessing towards the top I would say a little bit of nitrogen deficiency or excessive light and heat
