PH Problems no solution....

Well I hope this goes in the proper section here.

I guess I better start with the history of the plants in question.

I am a first time grower, I figured since I like to smoke as I feel it helps me greatly with my bi polar issues.... instead of purchasing I would simply make my own medicine since I will know what is going in it and just the satisfaction of creating my own smoke.
So.. I simply snagged some bag seed from 2 different strains and both were VERY good smoke!!! Now, I have NO clue exactly WHAT these seeds were exactly except that I KNOW it is very good stuff. One is Sativa dom. and the other is Indica dom. Suprisingly the sativa dom. veg plant I have is the most LUSH and HEALTHY. But the indicas are very healthy and nice as well one being the bad ass of them all but only ONE sativa plant made it through propagation and I did a lousy job at that looking back.
Plants started off stunted from over watering. Soon however they finally started growing, then my wonderful thinking and youtube helped me decide to top the MAIN shoot when only about 6 inch tall but that was 2 MONTHS old!!!! Yeah, they were ALLLLL seriously stunted!! LOL then I stunted them again and topped them.
Well, 8 months later and I have 4 healthy indica doms and one SUPER healthy sativa dom. They alllllll have 4 MAIN shoots now and are BUSH monsters!!!
I set up these veg plants in a drip system in 2 gal buckets of hydroton with the rockwool cubes burried in them. I run GH flora series with Micro Grow And Bloom, I also us MANY other additives such as Dimond nectar, flora blend, superthrive, hygrozyme, h2o2, lets see, ah yes some super B+ and that is about it. I have used this blend over the 8 months and though with my improper techniques early on, eventually this blend worked VERY well and the plants FLOURISHED!!!, I ONLY EVER USED DISTILLED WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had 5 plants in a 2x6 closet with only 4 ft of the closet lighted. I have a 4x2 T5 8 light setup, not the VHO but the model down from it. PLENTY of light BUT these five plants have gotten to bushy for this space. Also note about 3 weeks ago I added an Automatic Jack I got as a FREE seed and since I haven't used the REAL seeds I ordered until I can successfully grow bag seed from good gene's then I just used this FREE seed as an experiment. It cracked in distilled water, I put it in a ph'd rockwool cube, it sprouted but 2 days later it was looking BAD. I noticed that the seed cap was still STUCK to the top so I pullled it away and there was BLACK. I left it alone and it too got STUNTED, and then FINALLY after about 3 weeks old now it is about 1/4 inch tall man and has lush leaves but is BARELY GROWING!!! Overwatering it appears again, Man I really suck at that!!!

So. Now to the problem, I use those nutes, been using them for months works great. But now that the plants are gettting TOO big, I decided instead of KILLING the lesser healthy one's and I don't even know the sex of any of these yet.... I deciced I would try my hand in DWC in 5gal buckets. Now.... I started thinking and with that Critical Jack now growing a little bit, I am going to need to start thinking about water source BESIDES hauling and buying shit tons of DISTILLED WATER....
So you know of course that brought me to an RO system. So I went and bought a Whirlpool Ro system at Lowes. Thing gets the PPM down to 4, and the ph is at 7, basically almost like distilled water..... Well, I fill up a 40 gallon trash barrel, then put a bit of peroxide in it in hopes it would keep out unwanted bacteria etc... Either way, I now have RO water. PPM's of the tap is 160 and I just didn't want to trust it. Well when I got the RO system I also got a LARGER AIR pump that could run my reservoir for the drip system which will only be 2 large plants now and and little critical jack, So there will be 3 in DWC. So I researched DWC and decided I liked the DWC that has dripper tubes coming up into the basket as well as the roots coming down into the reservoir.
So I transplanted the 3 plants, hooked my new pump up to ALLLL the buckets AND the drip system tank and this thing has a 8 valve manifold on it, the bubles are rediculous coming out compared to before. at least double the amount of arriation (or however you spell that). When I transplanted the plants I also changed the nute solution to my drip system and replaced with RO water. Now, (SIDE NOTE) ( 3 days ago I came to the grow location and noticed where it had been hot then got cool again, the room with the plants and the water and all got down to 54 degree for a LOW. That was three days ago I immediately brought temp up to 70)

Now back to the issue, After changing the nutes and finishing the transplants into the 5 gal buckets, I run nutes with DISTILLED water around 1000ppm on full plants, for that critical jack I have been putting the dripper in a position where the plant is not getting hardly ANY of the solution, cube stays mostly dry but has enough weight that it is not needing immediate water ever. I know that train of thought sucks and it is a seedling getting full nutes but as an experiment and putting it in the drip system, it acutally was very lush and green just not moving UPWARDS, another thing for that possibility is that under that T5 this Jack is about 20 inches away with two large plants all around it, it gets alot of light but I bet it could be better, just cannot get it any higher up!!! If it were to fall over while i were gone it would be BAD!!!
So, that all was 3 days ago. Yesterday, I arrived to find the PH was up 7.0-7.2 in all the buckets and the reservoir for the drip system was up 6.8 or so and this is NEVER how it is, my ph in that drip system at 1000PPM and setting initial ph to 5.8 and it never goes below 5.5 and no higher than 5.9........... That is on distilled water, now on this RO (If that is actually what it is or unless there is something that happens to the plants if the temp is allowed to get to 54 for that long that will cause a problem to make the PH keep rising like the plants are locked out of something IDK) But other than that it appears the RO water may be causing the problem.

So I set the PH back to 5.6ish range and leave. come back again today not even 24hr later and the Critical jack is YELLOWING, the drip plants that are LUSH are showing very very MINUTE signs but they are showing signs of slight yellowing but the one 5 gal bucket was looking BAD another looks fine and actually looks good in the roots but the one doing bad I lift up the net pot and NO new white roots coming out of the net, and old roots turning brown, water level is not too high, so problem was that I tried to put too large a root mass in a 6 inch pot. Took out today and put in 10 net pot and gave more way for it to breath and replanted it. But the ph is RISING and RISING is this something that the AIRSTONES are causing and would that cause the plants to yellow, I went back to my old air system and eco 8 prong pump but man it is really wealk and I have seen some guys on here DWC's that are SURGING the water when the net pot is off...... I am thinking my ph should not rise with arriation to any more than 6.0 or 6.1 which would still be acceptable.
If I go back to DISTILLED water tomorrow and give it a week and things get back on track then WHAT THE CRAP do I do about getting distilled quality water without having to buy 50 gal of it from the store ever 2 weeks. I mean, I'm not even FLOWERING yet for pete's sake. I am going to get into needing ALOT of water and this RO stuff does not do the trick unless that COLD spell I gave the plants is causing this PH problem.
I'm just really at loss here. If the distilled water doesn't do the trick then I am going to start thinking a BUG has gotten into the plants somehow and is in their system and is causing the ph to rise, you know like when you have bacteria in your system and reservoir??? Those bacteria can what? Eat the nutrients causing your ph to rise but PPM's stay the same because the salt in the water is still at the level. I cannot remember how it goes but it was explained that you cannot tell how much nutes your plants are using based on ppm's because the salts cause the ppm to stay relatively the same as when you first put the nutes in the water. within a couple hundred anyway.
I have no slimes on anything or in the reservoir. I use h2o2 in all my water. I have had a very successful grow other than stunted plants that I eventually got to grow into bush monsters, its just something I have done or that has happend in last week has caused a major problem and Im not so sure going back to distilled water is going to fix it but EVEN if it does fix it, how am I going to get distilled quality water at my grow?????

One last note, I had gotten into cloning during last couple months too. Have ez cloner 30 site, distilled water, ph always stays 5.9 using RO it is sitting at 6.1 right now after a ph adjust last night.

So I am thinking PH is my problem, lockout is the culprit and I am changing water back to distilled tomorrow.
Any advise or if anyone know EXACTLY what the problem is please advise as I would love to get back to a less stressful grow.
Thanks in advance to all. I hope this wasn't too long of a post I just wanted to try and make sure everyone got as much of the history and story as possible so that diagnosis may be easier.

Thanks

Forgot to add that just 4 hours ago, I checked ph for today 6.5 on reservoir for drip system and 7.0 on buckets, took ph to 5.7 on ALLLLLL res's and by 4 hours the ph is at 6.1 and 6.0 throughout!!!! Raising SUPER fast!!! Just seems like this is due to the WATER!!!! This time I changed ONE bucket to use as an experiment I put STRAIT Tap water to see if it keeps the ph level. It is reacting EXACTLY as the RO from that tap is acting!!!! Does CHLORAMINE cause this maybe??? What is the bad crap in chloro form that is NOT good in tap water, some places (cities) have it and others don't.... Chloramine right? I will check the city site and see what is in it, but SHOULDN'T the RO water be free of chlorines?
Just trying to make sure ALLL info gets in this for someone who might know this issue!

Yeah, too long indeed. I tried but sorry didn't even make it half way. Stopped at "8 months". It must be some good shit your smoking though... wow. And I'd love to see some pics of what have to be monsters.

I will get pic up, really not that bad but try to focus huh? If you want to help figure out the problem then background is needed. If you cannot keep up with the background then more than likely you cannot help me with the issue. Thanks for attempting.

Yes. Way too long. Though fairly well written, short and to the point will get you more help. I made it about 3/4 of the way through before I had too many questions in my head to continue. I would certainly like to see pics of the 8 month vegged plants. Is your drip system not connected to your main res? You cite separate pH levels for them a couple times. If not connected, how does the return work? All questions aside, it seems to me that you have some root rot beginning. This would explain the wild pH fluctuations and the lockout. I really can't begin to understand your set up from what I read. I would suggest you read up on some emergency fixes for root rot, but from what I've seen and read about root rot, once you start seeing these rapid fluctuations, there's not a lot that can be done. That being said, its worth researching on your own as I have had no personal experience with root rot (knock on wood) in the few years that I have been using DWC. I don't breed beneficial bacteria or use H2O2 (except when cleaning equipment), but rather take a lot of care in ensuring that my buckets are very well insulated and 100% lightproof. My roots enjoy TOTAL dark as long as the buckets are closed.

I have to agree.

A picture is worth 10,000 words. The 10,000 words isn't working so try a picture.

I'll get some up. I will have to wait until tomorrow. I just pulled one of the plants out to transplant into 5 gal dwc, there was no sign of any rot, roots all white. All plants were healthy in the drip system. At the current moment I have only 2 plants in the drip system. I took everything else out. The plants in the drip system are my healthiest, one sativa dom, on indica dom.
The rest I took out and tried a series of DWC one's with the RO water NO CAL MAG, just nutes.... Then One of the 5 gal I did just plain tap nuted then ph'd to see if regular tap is fine. Chlorine will probably have that one dead tomorrow. Either way, I have ran this whole time on distilled water and NO problems, soon as I go RO and use the 5 gal buckets, everything goes to shit and that is hard for me to beleive that I go from distilled to RO and it gets SHITTIER??? I mean distilled water is NOTHING!!! 0 ppm and NOTHING!!! And I NEVER used Cal Mag before with distilled and FLOURISHING growth!!! But hauling distilled water for a full flowering room and going to the next level from vegging and cloning is TOO much distilled water.
I will put up some pics tomorrow. I mean ph is SOARING with the RO water in these systems and EVEN the regular TAP water one that I'm running is SOARING at SAME pace as the RO water!!! I think there is a TOXIN in this water that makes it PAST the RO and is present in the tap!!!! Something that causes ph to soar!!!
I will check out the distilled and see if that brings things back, if it does

THEN CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO GET THAT QUALITY OF WATER????? LOL, I'm pulling my hair out.
Is it possible that I put that bleach thing in the RO system wrong? Is that important? The part before you PURGE the RO system where you put some bleach in a tube connecting to your reserve tank?
Maybe something that is in the RO system that needs bleaching out and I did it wrong? This is a 140USD system at Lowes. Is it possible I need to get a BETTER RO??? GEEEEEEZ Man these plants were really impressing me given I don't know SHIT at this stage and am green as hell.

Thanks guys and sorry I write so much.

Drip system is comprised of 2x2gal pots full of hydroton, both are 8 month old plants. The dripper just pours out onto the hydroton, then drains into a planter about 4 inch deep 20"x46" they just sit up in this planter with a tote 15 gal, I run 10 gal in that system 1000ppm at 5.9 ph for last 8 months with vigorous growth after the stinting of them early on. No problems with ph fluctuations.
I removed 3 full plants (less healthier one's) from that SAME drip system 2 of them about 14 days ago, and those I bound the roots up improperly and ONE started new white roots out the side with browning roots in the bottom pilled up. I thought root rot too but this is an ISOLATED 5 gal bucket so it could not effect EVERYTHING!!!!! This condition is now happening to EVERYTHING and there are 5 different reservoirs, and not alllll of them are root rottening. So..... I conclude that pyrithum or whatever root rot is called is not the culprit as it would have only effected the one's that have that going on in their res.... Right? Now, I pulled the one out that looked like it could be root rot and there was no black in the roots, just still white but browning you could see that they were browning. So I cleaned them well in h202 water ph'd and then RE planted today and put in REGULAR TAP WATER (This of course is ph'd AND I put nutes to approx 900ppm). I figure if that poor thing lives and off of Tap then I am using tap from now on. I doubt it though.

Don't know what to say. I still maintain that if you see any browning of roots, it is usually a sign of some sort of algae or bacterial growth. Especially if you have been using the same nutes for 8 months and haven't seen brown until now. As far as the RO system goes, if you have a reliable TDS meter thats telling you there is 0 PPM in your water, then there is no chlorine or anything else for that matter. Make sure your meter is calibrated and accurate I guess, but I don't think your problem lies with your water. If you are buying DI water by the jug at the store, read the label. It is usually filtered through reverse osmosis as well. I will say though that I use a mix of HARD tap water (0.7 EC from tap) and DI water for the free calmag additives and because I believe the low levels of chlorine may be whats keeping the undesired's out of my res.

Anyway, hopefully someone with more knowledge will be willing to read for a while and spread some more light on your issue. From the sounds of it, action needs to be taken ASAP.

the amount of time it took you to write that you could of got it sorted already...before making threads you should really do some research 99% of the time you will find your answer on this website try READING this https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/488004-guide-nutrient-deficiency-toxicity.html

Okay the first 2 pics are of the two strongest plants I have. They are about 8 months old. They were stunted from overwatering early on and at a month old they were still both about 3-4 inches tall. But at a month they came out of it and flourished nicely with ph staying very stable the whole time. about a week ago this problem happened
I am very novice at this so I call the Tallest biggest plant I have a Sativa Dom just because its leaves are SOOO much skinnier than the others. They have 4 main shoots coming off all the plants, this is one way they got stunted is I topped them very early to get bushy plants instead of one stalk.

Anyway, as you can see with my clones, this is just clonex solution and RO the NEW RO water. They too are turning shitty. So, I am thinking calcium magnisium since I never use that stuff.

Suprisingly, water STRAIT from the tap seems to be working so far with no more undesirable problems continuing to occur with the plants I moved into the 5 gal buckets. PH seems to be very stable with the tap having risen in the last 2 days only to 6.1 instead of 7 and higher. I am thinking because of the AGE of all these plants that they may be nute locked because of the length of time gone without ever flushing. So atm I am flushing the two large plants in the drip system with Flora Kleen. I am leaving the tap water 5 gal buckets alone because ONE of them is showing VIGOROUS root development out of the net pot but the other 2 are not poking any roots out yet. I will give them a week or so then I will chalk them up to root rot as their roots that I can see through the net pot are slightly browning. I have already pulled them OUT of the bucket once a piece to try rinsing the roots and getting them through any net holes to get them started but the root mass is a mess and the more i try to detangle the more it tears roots to I'm letting them go!

I went back to distilled water today and took back the RO system to Lowes then went to my hydro store and just got the stealth RO system. Once I can get the plants back to health I will instal this RO system and see if it happens again. Upon advisement by my hydro store guy I DEFOLITATED the SHIT out of all the plants taking MOST of all leaves affected by this OFF. I also will be using CaliMagic from now on as they THINK ( I don't agree but could be wrong) that the plants are cal or mag deficient and that these problems could just happen "Out of the blue. You can have a plant and feed it with Distilled and never use cal mag then one day all a sudden your plants start wanting it and it's not there yadda yadda yadda...." Man I don't see how 24" plant does so well ALLLLLLLLL of them for so long then start RO and this problem happens and POOF it is a delayed response to mag deficiency after 8 months same routine except RO water????? I don't see it and my hydro shop guy has been WAY wrong more than once so their words go with a grain of salt with me!

If anyone has or has seen this problem please advise thanks.

I think it is salt build up from no flushes in 8 months and I'm getting lockout of some level.

If you haven't already, you definitely want to take a look at that thread. Also, if you go into the hydro store and let on that you might not know what you are talking about, they see dollar signs. Before you know it you will have a cupboard full of hundreds of dollars worth of snake oils. Read that thread and diagnose your plants.

Yeah, Okay so I read this thread bro and this is not helping me. There is not much mention of ph crazy fluctuations and what causes that and the ONE thing that specifies that causes that is far from what was on the chopping plate for possible solutions, so now my possibilities just went from 2 things to now a possibility of 4 or 5. Kinda made my problem worse but this is how it goes I guess.

My ph has leveled out mostly in the 5 gal buckets on the tap water. I have added CALI MAGIC to all reservoirs. Ph in the 5 gal buckets stops rising at 6.0 now BUT I can ph it to 5.5 and within 30 min it is back to 6.0. Like there is a buffer or something in the tap water. I looked at the site for the city water and it has no chloramine in it, and nothing that would be out of ordinary. Adding calmag to tap might have been a bad idea but from all the deficiencies I think Mag is most close but still doesn't fit all the criteria.
Funny thing is (I thought this was suppose to be like this maybe it is) but all my NEW tops coming out are ALLLLL kawasaki green and the rest of older growth is all i think a nice green, as the new grows it darkens up to match. I don't know if that is correct either. I am totally novice at this and I researched this stuff very well before hand and had no issues for so long. I mean researching shit only helps to a certain extent and then you just have to get your hands in it. It's the difference in peoples learning. I am a visual and put my hands on it learner. Some learn best by reading.... Either way, I started the thread because the research wasn't working. There is always 3 options of problems it seems no matter what the issue actually is, and if you treat the plant for one on a whim it could cause the actual problem to increase. I have been flushing the two in the drip system for about 3 hours now, I am about to refill and nute the reservior to about 900ppm with distilled water. I will add 1/2 the requested amount of cali magic then my normal
Flora Micro, gro, bloom
Dimond nectar
flora blend
superthrive
Super B+
Hygrozyme

I treat the water with H2O2 for an hour then add nutes and additives then PH to 5.8 and see what happens.

Thanks for all the help.

Are you using pH buffered nutes? It seems like you have atleast a couple different deficiencies. Are you sure you're mixing in your nutes in the correct ratios? pH fluctautions can cause any deficiency. If the range of your fluctuations is only between 5.5 and 6, you're pretty close to the sweet spot. Much higher than that and you will certainly be missing some of your nutrients, causing deficiency. Ever used a one part nute? I started using Dyna-gro and I love it. It has everything you need in one bottle. And its much cheaper than ANY of the big name shit. I just switched to their Foliage Pro and my girls are loving it. I supplement with their Pro-tekt formula for silicon. Food for thought. I wish I had more experience with defiencies/toxicities so that I could diagnose for you, but other than nitrogen deficiencies during flowering, I have no experience. At the same time, I'm glad I have no experience in that area though. Sorry I'm unable to help more.

Side note: When you mix new res, do you let it sit all mixed up without putting the plants in? I have to let my res sit for about an hour before I pH it just to let the nutes affect eachother and the water. I can't even get an accurate read on the pH without letting it sit first. My pH meter jumps all over the place if I test it before.

Good luck

mix 1/2 distillled 1/2 tap. add atsp of H202 to every gallon. Now that will give micro nutes but not have rapid Ph swings. there is no micros in distilled water

No, I never have let it set after adding nutes. Always worked well to ph right away and then seal and leave alone for two days, come back, ph at 5.8 as usual. I'm not sure what happened but I read good things about Canna's nute line so I picked some up a long time ago to use on another future grow should this one have turned out good.

As for the buffered nutrients. I use GH's Flora series 3 part. So Yeah I believe it is buffered. But then honestly I'm not positive on that, would have to look it up. But either way, once again, everything always worked fine with those nutes at 900ppm. I don't really look much at the suggestions on the bottle so much as I aim for a good target ppm level. i think 900 is a good medium zone so that is what I went with. I started my seedlings at 2 weeks at about 300ppm and I just raised ppm according to age. I will laugh at all this in 5 years I'm sure saying what a noob idiot but this is learning.

I don't even know the genetics or strains etc. Just some really good smoke that had about 5 seeds out of an ounce and then there were about 7 seeds in another ounce of some Indica dom. hydro we had. Since the smoke was very nice in both bags.... I decided to germinate all of them, Out of the 5 seeds that turned out to be sativas 2 sprouted, when they got stunted early on one didn't fair as well as the other and I tossed it. Then With the Indica seeds there was 7 of them and they all sprouted. Lost 2 with the early stunting, really just didn't like the lack of progress in them so killed them.
I was just wanting to grow these, veg I mean, and then take clones and determine sex. I am not set up really for flowering and not really too concerned with it. Just trying to get the hang of things and get things down pat and proper before moving on to the next thing. Like, for example, I have been vegging for 8 months now, few rough spots but for most part I thought I had that down and after 6 months of vegging THEN I went and bought a few things and got into cloning. So I'm not fast tracking things. I know people who buy auto flower and all the grow equipment and attempt complete grows from start to finish in 65-70 days having never grown a plant in their life. I don't even own an HID or any kind of warm lighting at all. I have complete 6500K lighting very very bright and blue, no warm color and my light schedule is 18/6 I mean literally I think some shit was wrong in the osmosis system, something was in it, I used the water strait from a 50 gal trash can I let it drain into over like 3 day period (This RO thing was SLOW!!!)
I am about to go to location today and check on the status. Last check all ph's were holding at 6.0 on the 5 gal jugs. The seedling was up to 6.15 but seemed topped out there. The drip system that I had been flushing all day has been running CANNA nutes A and B part at 800 total ppm with distilled water and cali magic added along with a couple CAnna addatives Cannzyme and Ritozonoxa sha so su something or another. When I mixed all this Canna nutes into the Res and put my one ML of superthrive and the hygrozyme I use in there, the ph came out perfectly to 5.8 So I left it there, about 2 hours later it had risen to 5.9 with continuous aeration (which normally the aeration comes on and off on timer!!!!


WHICH REMINDS ME!!!! I water my plants more frequently, less time.... 15 min ever hour at top of hour then NONE at night..... It has always worked like that but.... for the sake of trying to nail down everything with this problem.... Does that sound normal 15 min on with the dripper 18 hours a day every hour then none when lights out?


Thanks guys!

There is absolutely no way that I am making it through your book. Try this . . .

Well I figured out what the problem was.
Few weeks ago I told you guys I put a free seed I had into propagation, a dinafem or whatever. An automatic critical jack. I root bound this seedling and it didn't even have a tap root coming out. Either way. I took the cube out today as I have taken ALLL my plants out of their hydroton after what I found when I disected the critical jack.

Now, when I first sprouted that critical jack it had a piece of the seed casing that stuck to it after sprouting. I figured let mother nature do it's job. so I left it alone. Next day it was laying over so I pulled the seed case off of that first leaf and bam half the leaf was black. I cut the black off, thought it would die and left it. Next day it was puckered up.
Grew VERY VERY slowly over last 3 weeks. Yeah that little one in the pics is 25 days old.
Today I took it out of the hydroton..... BIG BLACK MOLD or fungus or something at bottom of rockwool cube. I've been suffocating the little one to death over watering causing root rot or whatever that shit was and this has been BLOWING through my nutrients causing my ph to SOAR. This shit was coarsing through my drip system which at one time every plant was in it with that little plant. So this is a disease bacteria fungus that has contaminated EVERYTHING. I actually have one though from way back that I put into a 5 gal bucket that has NEW root development coming out of it so it is not INCURABLE. So I have disected EVERY plants roots to find browning roots in the drip system pots. The worst looking one's have the darkest brown roots. Water in all the contaminated one's been smelling like shit too except for that one with new roots and ph is staying stable in it.
Wonder if I could take clones from the plants healthier one's you know and then just clone em all and toss these?

I will post pics of the black spot at bottom of rockwool cube probably tomorrow.

I personally would be worried that the fungus or mold could be transferred via the clones. I am not sure on that though.

So, to clarify, you had drip lines feeding individual DWC buckets from a separate res? Or is it Re-circulating DWC. Or are the drip fed buckets their own separate res? I'm confused as hell.
