Hello All,
I have a PH of 5.3 - 5.6 on run off. I just added some
pelletized lime. Does any of you think this should be all that is needed to correct this?

Thanks!!!

YES ...IF, you are in soil, or a mix and you added 2tbl/gallon of mix, or 1cup/cf of mix.

Give it at least a week to start working if you did a top dress (sprinkled it on the surface). It will work, but not overnight. If you added the right amount, don't add more. Don't be impatient, it's not fast.

If u water them on corrected ph and c your runoff water ph in lower than started watering your plants need less nuts...
They show by that way if u use ppm meter u c that your ppm is get to high also ....
Its very good guidance for control your nuts ppm that cause u to water them with lower nuts in future ...
Best wishes

plants are tall but the leaves turn yellow and fall off but ONLY when they go into Flower stage. When in Veg they love life. After about 2 - 3 weeks in flower the leaves quickly turn yellow and fall off. Leaving only the tiny leaves on the buds and even some of them are brown. So I checked PH and it was low. So I threw some lime on the soil. I used Miracle Grow soil and it releases nutrients by watering (Time release). Its been about 5 months and the soil is loosing its nutrients (FINALLY because MC is WAAAYYY to strong for them.) So now I am finishing a flush of the soil with PH's water of 7, added lime. Then I looked at my thermometer. and it said 85, but that was far away from the lights. So I hung it higher up near the lights and I was getting 97F+. So I raised the lights, added another exhaust fan and now near the lights are at a comfey 85. So 3/4 of the girls in the tent are singed (not dead and buds are nice size (But could be as wide as a coke can, had I not screwed up with the Soil, heat and PH) It wasn't happening immediately when I got the MC soil because I would only water ever 4 days or so, so the nutrients from the soil was not so strong,once I had to go to every 2 days the Nitrogen in the soil (I think) was too much and started burning the leaves. then they would turn yellow and then brown and crispy and fall off.
