I think you might have read it wrong, maybe not. I never check or worry about ph in soil, your fine don't sweat it. Lime will help but raise ph but I wouldn't use it.

Why would I have read it wrong? I did ph tester n drops. My plants is showing signs of nutrient lockout now.. isn't the runoff ph suppose to be 6.5?

Soil is a natural buffer so your ph isn't the issue. Why do you say it's nute lock out? If all is well those auto's should be coming up on the finish line soon. I would stop feeding (depending on how far they are) and let them finish them selves off. Post some pic's if you can.

You got a long ways to go till these are finished. PH issues will cause patchy spots
Does these look like oh problems? N why the other guy saying ph levels not to worry. I thought ph was everything.. if my ph is real acidy how do I fix it

Yea but how I get my ph level. Back to 6.5?? Nobody seems to be able to answer that lol
Just keep ph'ing the water you are giving it, and make sure you get a nice run-off every time you water.

It should balance out. But just so you know, damaged leaves usually don't heal... so be checking your new growth for signs, don't be looking for the affected leaves to go back to normal.

I recommend getting a water filter and go back to using tap water thats filtered and has proper ph and start your nutes back at half strength. Watch for healthy new growth

The leaves aren't growing anymore..nothing but buds growing. Just the leaves r acting up

How hot are them plants getting ?

To me it looks like some heat stress along with needing a bit of cal mag and pk

The plant looks a bit stretchy like its got some hot days ?
