Ok Dr just give it to me straight, are my babies going to make it (pics)

This is my second grow and I followed the same techniques as my first grow which was 100% successfull but for some reason the Ph level is arund 7.5 and my babies are all ending like this any tips on lowering Ph, just give the me the prognosis straight can they be saved?

check out the grow faq it tells how to lower the PH (pretty sure) but go to lowes or home depot and but some potting soil and trans plant ASAP other wise they will just keep dying

Ok im thinking of throwing in somemlime juice with my watering today how much parts per litre should i mix it in?

If I do a transplant and mix in some more dolemite lime into the soil will that balance everything out?

be very careful with the lime juice, it is very acidic and will easily drop the PH. each lime is diff though, so you may just do it a few drops at a time and test the h2o. drop the ph and the plants will be fine, but you may want to skip nutes for a watering or so. late

yeah,just add one cup of fine dolomite lime to one cubic foot of soil to keep ph at or blow 7ph

good luk

ph down is unavailable for at least 2 weeks due to my location everything must be ordered

ok so i'm running to the store now to get some lemon or lime juice then I will water i also going to apply a small bit of dolemite lime to the top soil to try and stabilize everyhting if that doenst work or if things look bad over the next few day I will pull a emergency transplant of all of them.

also thanks for the advice guys nothing but love from here

remember not to try to lower it in one shot, you'll shock the plants. Gradually (but steadily) lower the ph back to below neutral.

not a professional but that might look like root bound a bit...happened to me those look like small pots and those are decent sized little guys...i dont believe 7 is way too high for plants to do that much damage...but just a thought

I wrote a nice long reply and it didn't take and I lost it.

You mixed two soils together and there has to either be an interaction between what the two are made of and contain or a problem with your pots leeching chemicals.

I can think of no way to fix it, maybe a transplant into a much larger container with just one of those soils in it to make up the difference, with dolomite lime added. In the hopes that might smooth it out but I doubt it.

I've not ever been successful at getting the ph of a plant in soil back on track once it's that far gone. Good luck.

Lime ups the ph,right?his is to high... get a ph test kit from pet store 10 bucks check water ph, add nutes to lower ph if its time to feed root bound is ok if you feed and watch ph if not feeding test and lower with ph down lower a bit at a time or youll get some ph spoting that should fix ya up or transplant to larger pot but still monitor ph every watering have fun..... the ph up and down for fish last longer than lime juice to lower and baking soda to raise always test PH
