    I just cant get its damn PH regulated. I was having to hit it with dolamite lime and water PH to 7.6 to get run off at 6.6. But the problems persist. Now with my recent watering/feeding of about 1/4 to 1/2 stregnth nutrients, The run off was at 7.1

    I just cant win. Im afraid to add lower ph water and have it drop back down to 6.0 like it was 10 days ago. This is a barney's farm pineapple chunk with happy frog soil and fox farm trio of nutrients. It just started showing sex after about 9 days of flower. Lots of stretch though!

    I am a little afraid to water her again to try and bring the PH down for fear of missing the mark or over watering her. Should I live the run off PH at 7.1 until my next watering/feeding or should I get back in there and keep hitting her with water untill its 6.5 and then hit her with a splash of nutes?

  2. you can't really overwater at this point.. (unless your drainage is really poor)

    you got a pic of the whole plant?

    the effected leaves.. are they all on the bottom? or all over the plant?
    is it getting worse?
     
  3. It got worse so I tried to flush. I was using water with a ph of 5.5-6.0. After about 18 gallons of water, i got the run off to around 6.8-9. I hit it with 1/4 strength nutrients at the end. Hopefully this makes her happy. I will post some pics soon
     
  4. Some of the leaves are turning into tacos.

    I think it may have gotten worse in the last 5 hours lol.

    This is so frustrating!
