Getting some yellowing at the tips and curling leafs on one of my girls.

I flushed with 6.5 ph r.o water today. Run off was 4.5. My nutrient solution is always around 6.2. It’s ph perfect so it self adjusts.

Any help appreciated. Any questions fire away.

Thanks
Dusty.

Never ever take ph as a given. Get a cheap one drop test kit.
Looks like ph is out, also something is hot....as in too much nutes or something, hence your tip burn.
Water less, check ph, and lay off the nutes a tad , should go ok.

thanks for the reply lowrider,
I have a ph pen and always check ph before watering. I check it every time but the ph perfect always put the ph to 6.2 no matter what the water is before I add it.

Today when I flushed with 6.5 ph reverse osmosis water the run off was 4.5. Is this normal or do I have a problem.

Also I should add that I noticed the yellowing on all the girls about a week ago. So when it was time to feed I gave two of them their regular advanced nutrients feeding and the other two I gave plain water ph’d to 6.5.

The two that got straight water did not get worse the ones I fed are the problem ones in the pic. So I flushed the two that got fed today. Which is why they are looking over watered I guess.

From my little experiment im thinking I went a little heavy on the feeding. But I still wanted to ask for other opinions I case I’m missing something obvious.

Thanks

Dusty

The run off does seem low, you could get some dolomitic limestone, or Pulverized limestone if you don’t need to add magnesium to your soil, it is the most common and inexpensive acid neutralizer.

They dont look bad slightly dull and the yellowing at tip could be just a bit to much nitrogen because the new growth is intense that tells me nitrogen overload.

 

[BeanTownFan420]

Again they dont look terrible they are growing good.

 

[BeanTownFan420]

Get rid of the aluminum foil cannabis will draw it up.

 

[Backlipslide]

Yeah, was only a suggestion, like @BeanTownFan420 said, they don’t look all that bad. Keep a close eye on it to see if it progresses.

 

[Tony Urban]

Yeah they look good. Maybe a bit too much N like Beantown mentioned. Could dial down the nutes a touch. Skip the feed on the two plants showing the excess next time.

How far along is your grow? I’m just a newbie, I’m using ffof. Looks like a bit of nute burn, I could be wrong. My plants loved the dry cycle using that soil. It seems to hold moisture well. Your plants are nice and green.

 

[BeanTownFan420]

Thumbs up.

 

[BeanTownFan420]

Green thumbs up.

This run off worries me, should always come out higher......
If those perfect nutes balance at 6.2 then its not ph pen.
This is why I run coco not soil...

Heavy feed explains the burn not the low ph yet.....

The run off does seem low, you could get some dolomitic limestone, or Pulverized limestone if you don’t need to add magnesium to your soil, it is the most common and inexpensive acid neutralizer.

This man is onto it ! dolomite limestone, that will pull down ph in soil, must be super acidic.
I have used in the past to add to cheap coco, but go easy on it....

Thanks for the reply guys. Plants seem to be doing a lot better, the two I flushed picked their leaves back up after a day.

Gonna keep a close eye on them. Also I’m going to switch to another brand nutrient package. My ph perfect package is about 10 years old and I don’t trust it.

Anyone want to suggest a brand to go with. I’ve been thinking about Remo nutes.

Happy growing guys.
