Ph is off needs to be higher in soil 6.5 to 7

I actually had my ph at 6.8 wen I started and lowered it to because of the deficiency and some advice from a hydroponic store owner. But that didn't seem to work either and it's just getting worse

 

[mikeyxb]

What's your run off ph

 

[mikeyxb]

6.8 would have been fine in my opinion

 

[mikeyxb]

Have plenty drainage in the cups also?

How long have they been in those cups? My guess is they're root bound. Your new growth looks fine.

 

[Pakkman223]

I haven't done a flush yet but I will later today and let you know what runoff ph I have but cups have good drainage

 

[Pakkman223]

The indica dominant has been in the cup for 22 days
And the other in the cup for 17

 

[Pakkman223]

I'll transplant today into a 7 gallon pot and see how it goes but y'all don't think there is any signs of deficiency whatsoever?

 

[Pakkman223]

@Pennywise help me out bro!

 

[Pakkman223]

And when I flush do I need to use RO water or can I use ph'ed tap water how I've been using,
And should I lollipop the first set of true leaves ? @Cannabeard @mikeyxb @Pennywise

You should go to like a 3 gallon or so, transplants should go in steps unless your dealing with Autoflowers then you want to go to your final pot ASAP. Just helps the plant maximize root space and helps the growth from not stalling out while the roots try to fill the pot. You shouldn't have, your soil should have enough nutes to get er a least a month without issues. Your run off should tell you tho, if it's out of the right pH zone you can lock out nutes.

You can use tap water but your best to let it sit out to let the chlorine evaperate off it first. I used to let mine sit overnight before I switched to RO. And you don't really need to, they'll fall off but if you can't help yourself it shouldn't hurt you plant any as long as your gentle.

 

[Pakkman223]

You think my ph levels are locking out my nutes? What if my ph was at a perfect level after the flush? Then what should I do to fix this problem? @Cannabeard @mikeyxb @Pennywise

 

[Pakkman223]

And if I flush this early in veg would I hurt my plant? @Cannabeard

 

[Pakkman223]

So I flush after I transplant ? Or flush now in the cup?and wouldn't flushing this early in veg hurt my plant?

 

[Cannabeard]

Just do a quick flush before you transplant, it won't hurt it any. The transplant will semi shock it anyway so better to do it now. And before you transplant so you don't leech nutes out of the new soil..just ensure your have good drainage, add extra perlite if you have to!

 

[Pennywise]

Flushing wont hurt, if you're in veg just use a very weak nute solution ph'd and itll be fine.
