Got a problem since flowinger - Help me out

Hey folks, first post

Anyway, i've got 6 juicy fruit females all in flowering, it is about the 3rd week of doing so. In the past week and half, I have noticed leaves not just at the bottom, but the tops too have been shrinking in size, curling up, turning yellow/brown, and falling off with just a touch.

I have also witnessed pretty slow flowering if that means anything. At week 3, the flowering should be much further along than it is.

Now I am using a 1000W HPS light. Temperatures are NOT the problem, as they never exceed 80F, and my humidity is always between 50%-60%.

I am using Foxfarm soil and Foxfarm big bloom, watering usually once every other day.

I have NOT preformed a soil runoff test to get my pH.

My guesses would be either really bad over/under nutrients, or really high/low pH. Can anyone help me out?

Sorry took so long to respond.

You sound like you know what needs to be done.

Many plants use more Mg and Cal in 3 and forth week. So if your ph is off 1. you can have major lock out.

Do your test and do something. Don't just let time go by.

p.s. it helps to know ph preferences of your medium. hydro/soil/soil-less/co-co/mist system/? Pot will grow anywhere. It's our job to make her happy indoors. You're mother nature now

So it sounds like pH is the most likely suspect? I was considering just harvesting the very small amount I had now, taking clones, and starting again, but do you think it's possible to put things back on track?

On another note, I waited entirely too long to start flowering. The plants were about 5-6 weeks old before 12/12 was ever initiated, which is why now they are about 5ft tall. Could they just be at the end of their span and won't flower more, or should I keep trying?

3 weeks? yes you can save them. stunted does not mean dead. I don't know how high you'ld get if you smoked it anyways.

Get a hold of your ph and post pix or all specs and I'll try to help.

I'm a little weary of posting pics, but give me some reassurance and I will. I'll also do a pH test to see where I'm at.

Ok here are some pictures. The pH seems to be high, maybe over 7. Could that be the cause for all this?

Could be P-def.
But what do you mean : pH seems to be high?

Let me rephrase, the pH is too high, it is very high, around 7.5-8

Have we found the problem?

[suspect]

you should flush as soo as possible with 50% nutrient solution ph'd @ 6.5-6.8
3x the ammount of water to the ammount of soil in the container should do it.
Im currently in recovery of a ph problem myself,
and the pro that helped me hasnt been around for awhile. This was the advice i recieved and its working so i suggest you try it to

Only got andy and amos left boo hooing up a storm.

If you need help. I hope you take ALL advice as advice. GO check yourself once you get a lead on your problem. There your plants, so treat them the way you wish them to produce.

Continuous flushing of soil will leave over watering. Most growers overwater in 1 few weeks. run off isn't the ONLY way to check ph.
