The grow tent is pretty much 80 during the day.

Yes I believe overwatering was an issue early on. I went from a solo cup to a 5 gallon pot which I now know was probably too much of a jump. Something I will do differently on my next grow. I got around to testing my runoff after watering with unadjusted tap water and they were all in the low 5...

So even though the soil was factory adjusted for PH it is now out out to lunch. Do you think it would recover on its own watering without adjusting the waters PH? My tap water is usually around 7.6-7.8. Or should the I take matters into my own hands and raise the PH myself? I’m thinking the...

Yes i checked my water after adding nutrients, it adjusted to 6.6.

Should that be mixed with the water or top dress the soil?

I usually aim for 6.5 or slightly higher. When using the sensi grow it automatically adjusts to around 6.5. Today’s watering went in at 6.6 and came out at 5.4.

So not sure if anyone is still watching this thread but I finally did a watering and was able to test runoff PH. It is very low about 5.4-5.3. How do I correct this? Seems to be the problem is nutrient uptake as the PH is way out of whack! Maybe a bit of overwatering as well...

Thanks i will definitely do that on my next watering

Haha no worries, was just in the middle of checking this thread when you responded!

No. I add a few drops of lemon juice until the ph drops to 6.5 and settles there. Lemon juice is commonly used as a ph down for organic grows.

Here are the other 3 plants. They all seem to be healthy and growing good. Since I started low stress training them they have really been exploding in the side growth. Just the one little girl thats sick...

The top leaves that are drooping used to have the yellowing as well but it has since disappeared, they look sick but the colour is coming back. Im not sure if thats a good sign but maybe?

No have not flushed. They are all ready for water. As I mentioned earlier in the thread I waited until they were 4 weeks in until I gave a half dose of fertilizer. They have only ever had one watering with fertilizer and this issue started BEFORE I added any nutrients. I do believe it was over...

This is the plant as of now. Not looking great. The other 3 seem to be thriving. Will post pics of them in natural light shortly as comparison.

I will post a pic in natural light once im off work.

Those are just moisture meters not ph. I use a digital ph meter to test water. Will try testing run off next watering. Haven't added any sugar but have been reading up on it and will be trying it out.

I dont think it was the fertilizer. The plant started doing this a few days before i used fertilizer for the first time. I waited until the plants were 4 weeks old before adding any nutrients. Its been a few days and the soil is drying up and the plants colour is coming back.

They were planted in the middle. I just started low stress training them, bent the plants over and tied them down.

Thanks for the replies. I think you guys are right about the water. The more I think about it the more it makes sense. The soil seems to retain a lot and I'm watering twice a week at most. Really should have added more perlite to the soil. The other plants seem to be soaking it up a bit better...

Ya I just checked and they all feel pretty much the same. I water them all at the same time with the same amount of water for each plant. I usually water based on how the soil feels and that determines when I water again. I think I had a minor issue with over watering earlier in their lives...
