    One seedling and one clone have this pretty bad right now and the others are gonna get it too I believe.

    Reading up I feel it's either ph or nutes. Please advise me ?

    Edit for more info. The soil is happy frog smart naturals potting soil.

  5. New growth looks good. If those leaves bug you then cut them off.

    Just got another bag of the frog and some 5 gallon smart pots so I'll transplant the clones to those and get some good ph going on. My RO system gets here tuesday

    Water quality is key. I have real good water here.  PH 7.3 and 40 PPM.
     
  8. My tap water is about 7.6 ph and 400 or more ppm :( I buy gallons of spring water and also have that RO system on the way.

  9. I'm looking for some help with my soil too I just checked the water and it's at like9 ph so I'm trieing to lower it but the tips have started to curl I don't know where to get the help I need the tips are twisting I hope I'm just freaking ?


    Respect.
     
  10. Yup it's definitely a ph problem if your use tap water like most growers let it sit out for 48 without a lid that's what I do anyways some say 24 but I guess it's preference or whatever this will solve the problem from continuing but I would buy ph up & down and a ph water tester i would buy the electric not the dip sticks and I also agree with another commenter up top sort of I would cut the growth off it's just the bottom growth and it won't produce big buds anyways I trim off all the small fan leaves at the bottom always! But if you are having this problem don't cut those leaves off till you have fixed the problem if it was a ph problem you will see the burns on the leaves stop progressing and the rest of the plant will resume growing but if you take the leaves off before the problem is fixed and it is not the ph possibly something with the nutes then the burns will just move to a new set of leaves starting to make a reappearance of the same issues but if the leaves are kept on you should see the leaves that were affected worse get worse If ph wasn't the problem then go on to something else remember always check ph when you have any signs of burns or leaf twisting or anything because ph is really important to your plants it's the difference between life and death for them

    Damn that's almost as good as I get from my RO unit.
     
  12. My tap water where I live has a ph of 6-7 already and a 10 ppm
     
  13. Damn lol that's insane.  We got liquid rock here.  pH over 8 with 3-400 ppm.  Perfect for african cichlids. :D
     
  14. Damn now that's really insane! Lol
    Do you use tap for your plant or distilled?
    :)
     
  15. Basically the same here.

    Reverse Osmosis!
     
    The tapwater is great for seedlings though. pH'd of course.  But WOW need to use so much ph down because the high ppm acts as a crazy buffer.  I used to be super into aquarium hobby.
     
    I'm surprised I have never read any article in the cannabis world about GH, KH and their relation to pH and the buffering capacity.  Really interesting shit I am nowhere near in the right mind to write something up in regards to that although I have thought about it.
     
  17. my under the sink RO filter gets a nice 6.5-6.8 ph.. definitely recommend one rather than buying gallons of water lol
     
  18. Hopefully my RO system will get here tomorrow
