I believe my plants are experiencing nitrogen deficiency. I'm still trying to get that ph sweet spot dialed in. If there's any other thoughts on my plants health please share. Having a hard time balancing between mag and nitrogen lock out. Should I pH every watering? Base pH of water I'm using is 6.5
Been going down to 5.5 with run off of 6.0 which worked miracles for a few days now the leaves are yellowing from the tip of leaf back towards stem, from the bottom up of the plant. Last 2 waterings I have used un modified 6.5 pH water (no chlorine, purifiied gallon water) Should I alter between a lower pH and a higher pH when watering?
My first grow was with Coco coir and perlite so it may or may not be largely different, however I washed a brick of coco coir and began a buffering process before using. I washed in 18 gallon tub and buffered with 8 gallons of water with 60 ml of BotanicareCal-mag plus. 150% dose at 7.5 ml/gallon. I buffered it a second time the next day. I let it soak for 24 hours each time. I then drained the buffering solution and added either 30 to 40 % perlite. Im not sure if its something you need to do so do the research. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can advise. Please forgive me if I'm just speaking when I shouldn't.
