Soil Ph too high 7+ help

CannaR05! · Apr 9, 2021

Hi ,
for the past 3 waterings my soil runoff ph is 7+. I am watering with ph 6.4 -6.5. I think my plant is starting to have an adverse effect from the high soil. Does anyone know of a quick way to lower the soil ph? I am just going into week 2 of flower.

Here is my grow info:

last nute feeding

Soil: Fox farm ocean forest, fox farm light warrior, perlite.
3 gallon fabric pots
Nutrients:
GDP
Big Bloom: 2 tsp
Grow Big: 1 tsp (FULL DOSE)
Cal-Mag: 1 tsp (FULL DOSE)
Si-Armor: 1/2 tsp (Full Strength)
Ph: 6.57 ppm 867
Runoff

h 6.98 ppm 1102

Pineapple Express:
Same soil as GDP
Nutrients:
Nutrient watering:
Big Bloom: 2 1/4 tsp
Grow Big: 1 tsp ( full dose)
Cal-mag: 1 tsp (full dose)
Si-Armor: 1/2 tsp (full strength)
Ph 6.55 ppm 1052
Runoff: ph 7.39 ppm 1559

Here is a pic of one of the leaves from Pineapple Express

Runoff means nothing

Focus on what goes in not out

Ffof is buffered so you'll be fine

Any idea what deficency she has then by looking at the pics?

also I used a mix of FFOF and FF light warrior will that make the soil ph unbalanced?

The PH is fine, that soil is buffered with lime, so it's normal for it to be at 7.

Until you’re putting in things correctly don’t worry about what’s coming out. Ph should be ~7 going in.

Why do you think something is wrong with those leaves?
I’m not seeing anything alarming.

The second image looks like it has holes not brown spots, could be a pest. Other than that I wouldn't worry until you see more significant change to your leaves.

So a little change is nothing to worry about? It’s just the angle of the light hitting the leaf is why the 2nd pic looks like that. I’m only worried becuase it’s on several leaves just not as bad as this one. If it was one or 2 leaves I wouldn’t worry but it’s on several

Not all leaves are created equal.
Holes are usually physical damage.
A couple brown spots on older growth could be anything. Or nothing. Stab in the dark.
The plants look good.
New growth looks good too.
Let it ride and keep an eye out.
Doesn’t look like there’s anything to fix.
Maybe cut out the grow nutes and just bloom if it’s got N.

I fed them the transition nutes which is half Veg half bloom. And ok I’ll leave it alone. Thank you for all your help! Happy growing!
