OG Kush needs help! Please read

[Coke420]

Two thousand watt hps
16 plants under each light
16 og kush plants and 16 grape ape plants
3 gallon pots
Black gold potting soil
2 weeks in flowering
Temp in room gets no higher than 77 degrees
Using flora nova bloom 1/4 teaspoon per gallon
Feeding them every 3rd watering


So for the past couple days my og kush plants have been sick and the leaves are curling downward inside itself and are turning brown. The new growth are all doing the same thing and look all shriveled and unhealthy. I just checked the ph on my tap water that i have been using since veg and the ph is 8.2 without nutes and 6.5 with nutes i haven't been feeding that often so is that my problem is the ph too high and causing problems. I just watered tonight using store bought bottled water with a ph of 6.0 with no nutes. I used 1 liter of water for each 3 gallon pot. I also just figured out a water schedule for them i'm going to water fresh water, then next water use molasses, and then use nutes on 3rd watering. Is this a good idea? Also should there be extra water in the pots because i haven't had any. Any ideas will be much appreciated. I am posting pics of both the grape ape and og kush. The grape ape just starting doing it tonight and og kush looks worse. Please Help!!

you may be entering lock up have you flushed your plants at all? if not I would start there run 3 - 4 gallons of clean PHed water 6.5 is good and through your plants and top it off with a light feeding to put some nutes back in the soil after the flush give em time n love

How many more gallons should I use and would it just be better to wait till next water to feed or do they need it this one.
Also how long does it take to recover thanks for your help

Can you explain how to do a proper flush

 

[cnd420]

Re: OG Kush needs help!! Please read

slowly water with atleast twice the water as you have grow medium letting it slowly drain out the bottom of your pot and you need to put nutes back in the soil after because you just flushed everything that was there out including the nutes that were in the soil

Re: OG Kush needs help!! Please read

and let it drain for a bit until it stops dripping so it doesnt get the soil swampy

Will another gallon of water be enough for each pot

Re: OG Kush needs help!! Please read

if you already run some through it then probably but the more you flush the more sure youll be to get whatevers upsetting your girls out of your soil

What caused the nute lock was it the high ph in the tap water I was using?

 

[cnd420]

Re: OG Kush needs help!! Please read

ph being to high or low will cause lock out those look like theres some heat stress too

Re: OG Kush needs help!! Please read

1000 watt bulbs like 18 in min mainly you want the temps at the top of the plants to stay under 85

Yeah they look like they are just stressed probably from overwatering if he watered everyday rule of thumb is when the top couple of inches of soil is dry but the amount sounds about right i go id just finish out the flush and watch em for about see new growth should be good and healthy if not time to reinvestagate
