What's going wrong with my setup?

[noobtok]

Hi,

Setup is as following:

Strain: Nirvana seeds Chrystal
Hybrid: 50/50
2 Plants
Vegetative state over 10 weeks now
Indoor
Soil: Biobizz allmix; about 30% perlite, rest is basic soil
2 x 5 gallon pots
1 x 400w HPS air cooled
Temperature of cabinet: Around 75-80f
PH of Medium around 7-8, no accurate measure.
No pests
Watering 2-3 times a week, unfortunately been giving a little too much nutes and too often (every watering) during the beginning of veg.
Nutrients: Advanced Hydroponics
Size of cabinet around 10 square ft.

Problem is really slow growth and now lately becoming yellow all around and sun leaves falling off, seems like they're dying. Found out I've been watering them with tap water with a PH of 7-8 which is way too high. Started to add PH down a week ago but nothing really effective has happened. That's why I'm here to ask for your help. Pictures will be posted below this post.

Sincerely, Noobtok

Hi Noobtok Welcome to

You gave your plants too many nutrients with water that had a too high pH.

They will need longer than a week to recover.

They don't look so bad. These are hardy plants.

Watch the new growth, not the old.

Maybe flush with epsom salts.

Hi Ricorico,

thanks for your amazingly quick reply. The new growth is now slightly getting better and I think they're now going to be fine as I follow basic instructions and don't panic. Next time I'll remember to use the 420mag own photo gallery.
