I am so frustrated, please help

Plant leaves are turning completely yellow, leaves are all droopy, tips of leaves look scorched...

What the heck is goin on?

I've been trying to lower PH now for 3 days, Ph of the soil was 7.0 now it's at 6.5. I've been givin it 2 drops for every gallon and 2 drops of superthrive.

Am I lowering it too much?

the ph needs to 5-6!

its outdoor grow

6.5 is good, now what nutes are you giving? and how strong a dose and how often

A ph of 5 is very low for soil,my girls wouldnt stand for it very well,i have to stay between 6 & 7 for good health & color,my best luck with soil ph is 6.5.

i don't give her any nutes just superthrive if that counts as a nute, 2 drops for a gallon every watering. The leaves are all the way down droopy, I think I overwatered because they look a lot like the picture in overwatering.

my leaves r yellowish/brown and getting crispy,and the funny thing is its def not under water or overwater,i added nute spikes WAY TO EARLY so i just flushed,but yea,idk id have to see some pics

some leaves will yellow and fall off naturally during flower but this usually dont happen till at least 4 or 5 weeks and it is a slow process. so if this isnt the case then it sounds like you need some nutes

Sounds like a Nitrogen problem..it could be water pH to high or exposure to cold weather..the GrowFAQ has some info on that.. I had the same symptoms with one of my plants and it was also slow growing..I used growth stimulant organic plant food to get some (N) back in the pH and lowered it to about 6.5 now its shooting out with some pace and looks more alive..

Your water pH of 6.8 could be the problem it's like Panhead said it should be about 6.5 and that definitely looks like a (N) problem make sure you give it something like a growth stimulater with a high (N) and keep your water pH about 6.5 I would say..

Ok spend time on a dead plant.

I don't live in the US so I can't recommend anything local for you to use but I'm using something called "Nitrosol" natural organic plant feed with 80g/kg N, 20g/kg K, 7 g/kg Mg, 6g/kg Ca, 4g/kg S - Micro elements, 60mg/kg Fe, 1mg/kg Cu, 1mg/kg Zn, 40mg/kg Mn, 23mg/kg B, 15mg/kg Mo - Growth stimulant, Gibberelic acid 0.003g/kg and sterilised blood bone and carcas meal. This is probably no use to you as it is pretty much Greek to me too but this nutrient is supposedly recommended for the cultivation of all indoor, outdoor or flowering plants such as violets, orchids, bonsai's, etc. I was after something that could raise the Nitrogen levels, I used this stuff overnight and the next morning when I woke up I saw a major difference.. it smiled at me I'm no pro and can't be more specific in what you should use this is just something I did that actually worked for me.. I'm pretty sure Panhead should come up with something solid as he is the pro not me.. but I hope you get some results, don't kill the plant and start over, rather try a few things and learn from it instead of starting over and learn nothing.. I believe your pH of 6.8 was too high as I used bottled water with a 6.8 and believe it was the cause of the deficiency and I no longer use it but now use tap water I let stand overnight to get rid of the chlorine levels and keep it at 6.5 then water my plants
