HELP! encountered problems

[ilovekush]

I got 4 Cheese x Blueberry & 2 Paki Valley x Durban's Poison grown from clone, vege was under CFL dome lamps, and now its under a 400 HPS.

Anyway, started its feedings, my mentor suggested I do 2 weeks Open Sesame, 3 Weeks Beastie (Or no Beastie and top soil with some P guano), and 2-3 Weeks Cha Ching, Than flush. I just feed them their first Beastie, but yesterday before the feeding I noticed some leave problem, I have my ideas as to wahts going wrong and thats the pH. But im just looking for some input from other people.

Here are a few photos:

Above: Cheese x Blueberry: Dark brown partially on fan leaves. I circled to point out. Some are crispy too, this problem sucks and worries me.

Above: Paki x Poison: Thin new Growth, Droopy new growth, yellowing. Also earlier today is the first I have seen of a slight reddish brownish purplish on one of the fan leaves.

Any advice would help me a bunch. thanks!

Looks like a PH issue. Is that the only thing you are feeding them? No Tiger Bloom & Big Bloom? Fox Farms reccommends using both Tiger Bloom & Big Bloom in conjuction with Beastie & Cha-Ching. At the start of flower you use Tigher, Big, and Beastie. Later in flower it's Tiger, Big, and Cha-Ching.

No i dont, I know a few people that grow nearby and noone uses the liquids. Its something I will look into. This is my first grow too, and i feel like im doing a pretty decent job, is this reversable? I put some solid 6.5 pH formatted Beasties in yesterday and am hoping this will help stabilize the soil pH. thanks dude. im definatley going to look into the tiger and big for sure.

SO i just looked at that fan leave that started turning that weird color and now it is super weird looking, and that reddishbrown color is really heavy in it? what the hell. this sucks. i hate pH, whats the best thing to do? Flush?? I just fed her yesterday w that 6.5 beasties.

You can use dolomitic lime to raise PH up to 7 or so, or you can use garden sulfur to lower your PH. Home Depot should have both no matter what season you are in.

After you added the Beastie you checked the PH and it was 6.5? When I add Beastie to 7.0 water it usually drops way down in the 4.8-5.2 range. Is your meter calibrated?

 

[ilovekush]

Yeah, thats where it originated. I swear it was calibrated and fine. But now Im making water at my friends house. I feed it some 6.5 Beasties on tuesday and they are starting to look better. I posted anotother thread about the coloring on the leaves here: Seeking help! PLEASE HELP ME! This Im sure isnt pH. The leaves arent crispy. Ugh. Stoked on my second attempt at this but failing is not an option o my first haha

Unfortunately your photos don't show the color problem. If all you are feeding them is Beastie they are starving. They need much more than that especially during flower.

Currently every 4th day I feed mine the following: 1TBS Big Bloom, 1TBS Tiger Bloom, 1TBS molasses, 1TBS Flora-Nectar, and 1/2tsp Cha-Ching.

Every other day they get either water or food. On the water days it's 1TBS molasses & 1TBS Flora-Netar.
