Ph & Pistils

[MarriedOn420]

I flushed my plant a few days ago due to what I believe was nute burn. A lot of people recommended I get a ph tester. I went and bought one today and it's saying my ph is 7.0 I don't know a lot about ph so if someone could give me some insight that would be awesome. Also some of my pistils are brown/red and look a little dried what is going on here some of my other ones are still white even some of my stipules have brown at the end are the pistils. flushed my plant a few days ago due to what I believe was nute burn.

She is also on her 9th day of flowering. I am also wondering if anyone see's any starting of buds I am not familiar with what they look like.

You should aim for a pH (soil and water) between 6 and 6.8. 7 is a little too high, and it does make a difference.

Here's this. I finally looked at the page yesterday and found A LOT of information, I was surprised.

Anyways, has the plant shown any PH issues at any time during your grow thus far? If not, then keep doing what you're doing, she looks good.

No not all except the nute burn that's about it thanks for the link. Out of curiosity how would you fix a ph issue?

To lower your pH I'd add a bit of vinegar to the water. Not much, just add a few drops and test it until it's at about 6.5. A grower much more experienced than me told me that soil pH isn't that big a deal as long as your water and nute solution is between 6 and 6.8.

Okay thank you so I should probably just leave it alone probably.

I had a very successful grow last year with a soil pH of 7, so I wouldn't say it's going to be a problem. You could always add a bit of peat moss to bring it down if need be.

Thanks for the insight.
