Coloring on a few leaves - Ph problems?

Custom45 · Feb 4, 2023

Hi, would you say this looks like pH related problems?

Need a full pic of the plant and medium.

Will try and get a pic later when I'm home. Plant is in week 1 flower in 16l pot. Feeding ec 1.8. I posted recently about ph meters not giving me accurate readings, that's why I'm suspecting ph is off.

It could be. I recently had it, and it looked like that. Mine was a little worse.

The plants are doing fine now. minor setback at most.

Looks like a water issue with a calcium problem. When using tap water the ppm and pH can be high and can cause problems.

As in too much calcium?

Maybe or maybe not if the high ppm are impurities it could be calcium lockout. That's why using some tap water can be a problem, not knowing what's in it exactly. Using clean water that is fortified is best because you know what's in it.

This is not calcium lockout.

One watering day after you water your plants take 250 ml of distilled water and pour it thru the pot and catch it and test it. Test the pH and EC so you can know what's going on instead of guessing.

Most city water you are able to look up online the content- most tap if it’s 100-200 ppm is ok if it’s cal heavy mix it with ro wTer or purified

Mine does not. It would have been a good selling point when I bought the house: Never use Cal/Mag again! But I now know what calcium lookout looks like.
