PH problem? -Pic

[DBC03]

I am pretty sure this is a ph problem, but want to see if you guys think of anything else. This is only happening on the bottom of the plant...

HIGH All, do you know what your PH is at....could be getting too much water...how ofen do you water and does it stay in the bowl you have as a catcher?

[phishisgroovin]

word...yea i agree with unoit

just looking at your pic for the 1st time and knowing nothing about your grow, it seems like your plant has been watered too much. sometimes my plants looked like that when they wanted more water since they were using so many of the nutes and water up but i think your problem is more with too much water given to the plants. more info might help and also if it were a ph problem i think you would notice some discoloring in the leafs also which i don't seem to see in your photo. goodluck with the grow

It can be an overwatering prob too. I think my buddy has been watering it to much. Now maby he'll listen to me and water it every 2 days

unoit- The water was cheap drinking water my friend had sitting around. He needs to get a ph test kit for sure. It is kinda hard to bring my test kit over there and test the water.
I live in the same apartment complex and the tap water tests out at around 7+

you can lower the ph with a couple of drops of white vinegir per gallon. but I think it's more an over water problem.

i always use distilled water for my plants. distilled has a ph right at 7.0 and has all those harmful chemicals taken out of the water, thus your plant gets pure h2o!! distilled water runs like $1 a gallon so its cheap. peace

With my current White Widow grow, I am using tap water that I let sit, then add ph down till I reach about 5.5-6 .
Distilled water is great. I used it in the begining of my grow, but it looks kind of funny when I carry 5 jugs of water into my room every 2 weeks lol.

I will get a pic of the plant up here in a day or two to see how it recovers.

your plant also seem to have lack of lighting... what type of lighting u useing...?..

[DBC03]

The light is turned off for the pic. There is a 150w HPS in there. That is only for one plant. I just built a hood for it on saturday too.

[420 Shade]

how long have u had the 150 on it.. reason why i ask what type of light u had on it.. was cuzz it dosent have alot of leaves, and the stem are really strech out... do u have it in a closet, or just in a opening somewhere in a room..

[DBC03]

For now it is in a closet. I had to stitch into 12/12 very early in this plants life cycle. That is why it looks weak, and has less leaves/bud sites than normal. The 150w hps has been on it the whole time, from seed. The main branches are pulled back to try to get more growth from the inside of the plant. I don't think this plant will yeild much, but it is still going to be better than some of the pot we get around here lol.

just wait.. right now it might see slow, but out of nowhere its gonna get boost up.. make sure too feed it super bloom fert..10-50-10

You're plant got wet feet, standing in an Iron bucket. Make sure the water can go because the roots will be lazy and will die
