Next time just amend with a little lime and don't worry about pH.

I think its just a little burn from the feed.

What would really help is a pic in blue or natural light.
Lime.. and why we use it...

reminds me of compost heaps..

we compost anything, sticks ,grass any organic mater really.

but for any organic matter to break down we need bacteria.

all bacteria feeds off nitrogen.

We have to replace the nitrogen that the bacteria took out of the compost, we add it to the compost heap either via CAN or urea.

nitrogen lowers PH

thus the need for lime

limes alkaline and counteracts the added Nitrogen.

My preference for lime is Dolomite

Todd: I do have some spare dolomite lime and will be adding that to the soil for the next round. So essentially once I add the correct amount I dont need to ph whatsoever? kicking myself for not doing the research needed the first time around

So with the information I have gathered here today this is my plan of attack, please feel free to correct anything:

I am going to give them 1/4 strength nutrients after a proper flush so hopefully that will take care of any over feeding issues. If it progresses to about 50% of the leaves(Id probably say its at about 30-35% now) I will chop them down and start from scratch. I have seedlings in a veg tent right now and will for sure be adding dolomite lime to the new soil they go into. Fan situation is resolved and the cold air from the AC is no longer blowing on the plants, but rather up to the top of the tent where the light is. Am I missing anything?

Hey uber thanks for the reply! The flash is a tad misleading, as it makes them appear more stacked then they really are(especially the lemon og), these girls still need a decent amount of time before id be comfortable chopping them, but if I have to I will. They smell amazing, but look like they went through a wind tunnel.
