Purple kush but she's getting these yellow spots on her what is it

[Javii1993]

Hey name is javii I need help with my plant I just started growing I have what I believe is purple kush but she’s getting these yellow spots on her what is it I’m going to provide a picture

[iceberg]

Wait for one of the experts to reply I can also see purple stems which is also a issue.

[Javii1993]

So for her to be purple now isn’t good correct ?

[MacGyverStoner]

Purple stems and spots on the leaves could be from a nutrient deficiency,or maybe a toxicity, very likely due to a pH that is out of range, or maybe nutrient salts that are building up to toxic levels and/or contributing to the other deficiencies/lockouts.

I never understood how to ph water and to check all those levels what can I do the plants are ph no nutes yet it’s organic soil I’m using cfls

Robert’s youtube on testing soil:

Measure TDS and pH of your soil regularly

Robert’s blog on testing soil:

What are the best pH and PPM Levels for Growing Marijuana?

Check them out and if you have any more questions, be sure to ask an I will answer and help you figure anything out you are still unsure about.

By the way, over-watering can also cause nutrient deficiency symptoms to appear in the leaves as well as the purple stems. Over-watering in and of itself can contribute or even cause both nutrient deficiencies as well as contributing to a bad pH in soil that otherwise would be in a proper pH range.

How do I feed my plants how many times a week the schedules the humidity I need to know it all

Download the free book and check out the free guides, there is no single one way to grow, you need to find out what will work best for you and your plant’s environment.

I have just ordered a PH & TDS meters, I have a moisture meter I use

[Javii1993]

I’m still blah about this ph soil thing can it be explained easier step by step I don’t like videos too much

[MacGyverStoner]

I already gave the link to the written blog as well near the video.

[Javii1993]

What I want to know is when I ph my soil what ph am I looking for and it’s high or low how can fix that I got my ph meter but I can’t calibrate it because I didn’t know I needed a solution plz help

[MacGyverStoner]

The ideal pH is about 6.5 in soil and 5.8 in hydro.

PH Levels for Hydroponcis and Soil. They differ slightly

PH for soil for Marijuana growing should be adjusted @ 6.5 A variable of .2 points either way is acceptable. For Hydroponics; PH for growing marijuana is 5.8 Variance can be from 5.4-6.1* *The plant uses what it needs. As long as you adjust PH on a regular basis in hydroponics; You will be OK

You can adjust pH with different methods.

12 minute Mixing Nutrients tutorial

Here is a great short tutorial about mixing nutrients. He uses the recommended concentrations of a specific brand for hydro, but in general and regardless of nutrient brand and the mixture ratio/concentrations may be different but otherwise there is some good advice that should be used whether mixing your nutrients before pouring them into your hydro reservoir or pouring them on soil or over your soil-less media. I’m thinking waiting as long as he did between adding new nutrients was a bit exc…

How can I raise my ph in soil?

My soil’s ph,Black Gold all purpose, had a 6.5 when I planted but it’s reading 5.0. All of my 3 and 5 gallon containers after 4 weeks now read 5.0.I’m using Miracle Gro fert at 25% strength. Can I dissolve lime in water until it ph’s at 7-7.5 and use it every 2-3 waterings until ph comes back up to 6.5? Would vineagear or baking soda work?

MY GUIDE for PH UP PH DOWN

ShareThis The soil pH value is a measure of soil acidity or alkalinity. Soil pH directly affects nutrient availability. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 as neutral. Numbers less than 7 indicate acidity while numbers greater than 7 indicate alkalinity. The pH value of soil is one of a number of environmental conditions that affects the quality of plant growth. The soil pH value directly affects nutrient availability. Plants thrive best in different soil pH ranges. Azaleas, rhododendrons…

Lowering the pH of my water

Is it true that white vinegar added to water lowers the water’s pH? I know the water I will be using will have a pH of 9.2 after filtering. I know I want to lower that to 6.0-6.5 in the safest way possible for my plant. How do I do that, without spending a lot of money? If white vinegar works and is the best/cheapest way, then how many ml’s of white vinegar per Liter of water would lower my water pH to an ideal range? Thank you. Good luck growers. If it’s of any difference plant to plant, I’…

She’s still turning yellow how can I stop this without ph

if anything what’s auto flower I want to know what is best suitable for me I don’t want to keep killing plants I want to know what strain is good for anxiety as well sour ain’t doing it for me it’s making the anxiety worst

[MacGyverStoner]

Sorry, there is absolutely no way to keep your plants healthy and alive in a bad pH or with the wrong nutrients, or too strong of nutrients. Knowing your pH and EC/TDS/PPM is paramount for a trouble free grow.

Invest in pH test strips, pH test drops or a digital meter, they are not that expensive and will hep insure you do not waste money on killing expensive seeds or clones. Get a TDS meter, they are even less expensive and require less maintenance than the pH meters. The test strips and drops are very reliable and very easy to use to test your pH.

You can get away without having to test if you use a very mild nutrient mix that is pH balanced and are using a good soil that is also already pH balanced. But even with nutrient systems that claim to not need a pH or concentration of nutrients reading, if you do run into a problem, knowing those things will really help at least confirm or rule out those being part of the problem.

I’m going 2marrow to see if I can get ph soil already and then hopefully this won’t happen

[MacGyverStoner]

How are you watering it? You might need more than just a pH balanced and buffered soil.

You need to know the pH of even just the plain water you are giving it. What type of water are you giving it?
And you need to be careful not to over water it. Your best bet is probably distilled water from a grocery store. Not spring water, it should be distilled or R/O and nearly zero ppm water with a neutral pH.

Have you downloaded and read the free book? You have to have a general and larger overall idea of what it will take to have a successful grow.

[Javii1993]

I’m not giving it plain water it’s faucet water but before I feed it water I leave the water out for 24 hours then what I do is use ph up and down I cam get them out the ground quick and have a nice start but I can’t keep them up there I have organic soil but it doesn’t say what it has inside the percentages or even the ph

[Javii1993]

My other plant has the yellow too but not all over like the other one
