Updated pics after their initial dark period. Super light new growth. At what point would y’all suggest start feeding flower nutes?
That last picture looks like something else is going on now? pH swing maybe??Updated pics after their initial dark period. Super light new growth. At what point would y’all suggest start feeding flower nutes?
Crisis averted for now. They bounced back nicely.
Yeah you hit the nail on the head. Underwatered they go limo like they gonna die. Overwatered the stems stay stiff but leaves droop.
Underwater much easier to fix and they bounce back fast.
U re always so gentle and cultivatedA lot better than nothing and far from useless. Rather have an idea than be completely blind.
Just my opinion
So I calibrated my pen and tested the water I’m giving and PH is above 8!! No bueno. Any recommendations on how to get it down into the 6’s?That last picture looks like something else is going on now? pH swing maybe??
Are you planning on topping that plant?

You called it man! Does that water PH need to be lower or higher? And if so how can I adjust it?LOL I knew because I did that myself recently so don't beat yourself up over it, it happens
I used a jug of water with a pH of 8.9 that I thought I had already adjusted to 6.5 and I got a bunch of weird Leaf growth myself last month
I use fish drops now instead of meters I've got a handful of dead meters LOL, I don't trust them anymore I used these hope it helps!

I disagree completely. Rainwater is the best. I use it whenever possible. My plants love it. Might be different in NYC but here in Oklahoma my rainwater is about 5ppm which makes pH irreleventHi Curious...
I think the problem is magnesium lockout due to acidic soil cause by rain water.
Switch to tap water or spring water and feed her with oxygenated compost tea (Seaweed extract, Molasses, mycorrhizae fungi or humic & fulvic acids) .. try to avoid runoffs and prune those yellow leaves.
I am pretty sure, she'll be back on her feet in less than 48hrs.
my 2 cents...
I switched to tap water after reading that post lol. I have rain collection barrels and thought the rain was the best but I’m a newbie so I didn’t know. And I have heard that QBs make the plants need more Cal. But guess I should have stuck with rain!I disagree completely. Rainwater is the best. I use it whenever possible. My plants love it.

The tomatoes and peppers also love yummy rainwater..
I’m in a neighboring state so I bet it’s very similar for us.I disagree completely. Rainwater is the best. I use it whenever possible. My plants love it. Might be different in NYC but here in Oklahoma my rainwater is about 5ppm which makes pH irrelevent
