Hi everyone, I am new to the site and growing. Started her out in a tent with a 1000w light on her. I was growing her in the house and since it's starting to get warmer I figured I would take her out to my shed and set her up out there. So two days ago I go out to water her and do some trimming some of the branches. She was doing ok and soil was moist so i didn't water. So i go back yesterday to check on her and she was sagging a bit so gave her some water, figured that was the problem. Go out this morning to see how she was doing and she ain't doing so good. Most of our nights have been above freezing until last night. Got down to 23° last night. lost!

Could be the cold but she could be thirsty. How much do you water?

Cold will make your plants droop. Don't take that as a request for water.

I think your plant must have escaped the 23 degree temps somehow, because she'd be dead if she experienced that for any significant time.

Can you move her back inside the house? In just a couple weeks it will warm up nicely!

What can i use to bring the ph down

Potassium silicate. Most people use KOH (potassium hydroxide) as a pH up and it works great. But using KSI (potassium silicate) has the greaat benefits of adding silicates to your nutrients, which makes the plants much, much, much more resistant to heat and COLD STRESSORS as well as strengthening the structural growth, increasing resistance to pests and mold, and the list goes on. You could use something like "Armor Si" from general hydroponics but a specific KSI formulated to work as a pH up has much better buffering capability and will be stable for longer. I believe the gen hydro pH up is made with K2CO3 (potassium carbonate) and KSI. it's the best pH up product I have used. Advanced Nutrients (cringe) has very potent pH up and down, it's thick like syrup, but you only need something like that if you're going to be adjusting the pH of A LOT of nutrients at once. (The pH buffers are the only product AN makes that I would consider using IMO. IME the gen hydro flora series and their pH adjusters are perfect for amateur and commercial LP alike. Easy to adjust. Sorry, not trying to promote a brand through my comment, I'm only trying to say that after all my experiences over the years, gen hydro has been the only company that didn't disappoint. Just don't buy all the extras. A little floralicious plus and some Kool bloom and that's it. just remember, Fishing lures are made to catch fishermen, not fish.

My ph is high not low. But pleasedo not apologize for promoting a product. That is what I am looking for. If you have ph and nutrients products that we work good please permote. This plant is blueberry og and i really w as nt a nice plant and good yield

Ohh I'm sorry I thought your pH was too low. In that case for pH down used nitric acid during veg and phosphoric acid during bloom. And yeah honestly, stick with general hydroponics. The gen hydro flora series is amazing. Like I said, the flora 3 part base nutes, floralicious plus, liquid Kool bloom, dry koolbloom. All the rest are unnecessary. Floralicious plus has the same stuff as diamond nectar except it's stronger. I also use their Armor Si because adding silica has amazing benefits. Aside from that, grab some magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) but make sure it doesn't have pretty smell or colors. I use 2 grams per gallon but start with 1. As a bonus, the extra sulfur during bloom is a bonus, since sulfur is the main food used to make the plant oils, more sulfur means more resins (within the strains genetic capabilities) if you want to talk more about any of this feel free to direct message me.
