It's not on the plant
Please don't take this wrong just asking....have you ever tried doing a comparison between ph-ing a strain and not ph checking/correcting?I see his pics in his profile but not 100% sure those are the plants in question. But if it is, you have multiple deficiencies. If the pics are all from different plants, I’d like to say there is a feeding discrepancy between all the plants and they are all not getting what they need. But if you are feeding exact same nutrient mix throughout all of those plants then that brings me back to Ph of runoff because that in itself will cause deficiencies. With multiple plants in operation, Ph can 100% be the main culprit. Especially if each plant isn’t getting the runoff checks for Ph and PPM. If you read off one and do it to all, you’ll have some Ph problems. Nutrient availability through Ph issues.
For sure. I have not added Ph up/down to my mixes for a while. If your starting water and nutrients you mix get you on point, you don’t need Ph up/down. But if you can’t manage to keep the Ph proper naturally then you have to use those products. I get Ph swings but I don’t play off them. Sometimes Ph is at 5.8 and then 2 days later she is at 6.2. It doesn’t change my feed/top off Ph and I most certainly don’t chase Ph.Please don't take this wrong just asking....have you ever tried doing a comparison between ph-ing a strain and not ph checking/correcting?
I used to ph and gave it up... ph up and down full of heavy metals...
Just being curious my friend that's all
So I feel you. I have a family member who swears by never doing Ph checks, or balancing his Ph. Every time I go to his grow, his leafs are turning yellows, orange and crispy. I wonder why. If you are in soil, it’s a buffer and allows for more boo boos. But Ph is a big deal. Either of right to Ph and PPM or use some products to get it there. The only problem is, the more you use the more you chase. Because!, most people don’t wait the 1+ hours to check rested Ph after using Up/down before feeding. So they screw it all up and get fluctuating Ph all the time from using them.I used to ph and gave it up... ph up and down full of heavy metals.
What's wrong with the leaves? Simple my friend, you cilped them off the plant, that will kill your leaves
You do know to be able to determine what's wrong, you need to give details about everything, soil, light, feed? Day of flower? Temp, Rh, pH, EC, what type of water are you using?
Seems like it look at the purple hue on the leaves.Are you flowering in purple light?
