wats up everyone...

my plants looked like shit yester day cuz the dirt was sooo hard that the waster wasnt going anymore then an inch in the soil...they were droopy as hells some leaves died.they are looking way better then they did yesterday but now they twising...

i watered them with tiger bloom for the first time yesterday...they seemed to like it...

are the leaves fucked up because i didnt add PH up???? tiger bloom brings the ph down so is this from the ph or the nutes???

please help me....

did you check the PH of the run off? could be a tad nute burned, what strength did you give it?

PH twisting...some of the leaf margins are curling under and the tips under aswell, this may also be the beginning of nitrogen toxicity, either way the answer is to flush

flush with PH corrected water 6.5-6.8PH range with 3 times the volume of your containers EG 2 gal pot = 6 gal flush

also read the soil runoff PH at both the beginning of the flush and the end of the flush to be certain your in range and to confirm the PH twisting

post pics again in a few days

and yes PH adjust your ferts solution, ferts are almost always acidic

Correct with one caveat, in hydro pH of nutes is seldom acidic enough, either way you should always check and adjust your pH of your water/nutes.

A reason the soil may have been so hard might have been lack of water, like when an old pond dries up, makes it difficult to water, seems to run straight through without getting the soil wet........takes ages to get it to normal soil again..........also I noticed in pic one you mentioned Kush and WW...... are both these plants in the one pot? and if so, how large is the pot? as the pot maybe not big enough for 2 plants root systems, may also explain why they'd use a lot more water.............Peace out............Sid

i dont have a PH meter....the p.k got 2 teaspoons per gallon and the w.w got 1.5 teaspoons per gallon.the 1st time i watered, that time it jus ran off the edge and went out the bottom...then i watered better with 1 teaspoon per gallon.and the soil soaked up most of that

they are in different pots...they have about 10 gallons of soil in each pot...

I'd say thy're prob short of water, especially if they're in such big pots, you say that if you flush them the roof will leak........you may need to get them into a bathtub inside if possible to flush, it'll do them the world of good..........get the feeling the lower root structure won't be getting enough water.......may droop slightly after flushing, but it'll bounce back............Peace out........Sid

get a $5 PH kit from anywhere that sells aquarium or pond supplies

i have 10 gallon pots.....i cant flush with that much water...i will make the roof leak lol

edit: if you do a soil runoff test when you start you will find it takes that much water & alot more in severe PH issues to actually correct the ph

gluck & dont cave the roof in

Don't know about stateside, but over here our tap waters ok to use after being left for 24 hours, or bottled water.....even phone the helpline number on the bottles to find off them the ph! ......I know that's costly for the bottled water, but waters cheaper to buy there than here..........and comes in fucking massive containers, like 2 gallon+ .............Peace out...........Sid
