@bob31. I donât know if it makes a difference, but I water with great value brand distilled water as i was told it has a ph of 6.5. But I will definitely get the stuff I need. Thank you!
I did not. I donât know where to start, because I didnât know the current ph. I just used the straight distilled water. I have the ph up and down. Should I go down and flush them? Sorry, I havenât done anything with ph, so this is new to me. @bob31
Why distilled? Use tap waterâŚoneâŚway cheaperâŚand twoâŚu have the tester and pH up and down. It really is very simple. I am new to it as well. Try using a bucket full and experiment with thatâŚthen u can see just how much up or down u actually need. Rather than going Willie nillie into your main bucket/tote or whatever u get your water from. Just my thoughts
You need to adjust the water or nutrient mixes to 6.5 pH @zachwils95 for all of the nutrient to be properly absorbed the water and nutrients need to closely match their pH. @zachwils95
When you donât get the pH adjusted properly you can have all sorts of nutrient issues.
@bob31 got the runoff to 6.5 using plain phâd water. How long should I wait before using nutes again? One plant in particular is yellowing incredibly fast.
As soon as they are dry enough. Get some good air circulation going around the base of the pots, help them dry out faster. @zachwils95 Give them nutrients as soon as reasonably possible.
They are looking better already. The yellowing seems to have stops. I think they are getting less yellow. @bob31 thank you for all the help! I really appreciate it. It would have been terrible to lose the plant so late in!
