Hi guys. This is my 3rd grow and i'm having some concerns about my babies.
My first grow was with a clone someone gave to me. My second grow was with seeds I bought. They were not sexed, so I had to flower them to find out what their sex was. Once I identified the females, I created 4 clones from the healthiest looking female, but those clones started growing with deformities. Some of the leaves only had growth on one side of the vein, or if there was growth on both sides, one side would be all shriveled-up and rotten looking. Not knowing what to do, I killed 3 of the 4 clones. One of them looked fine and from the one (still healthy mother) I created another 4 new clones. BUT NOW... they are all having this problem, so it seems to be spreading.
I started-off using a small amount of
Advanced Nutrients' Grow with pH Balance, but then when I started seeing the problem, I stopped using nutrients since i was worried that it was a over feeding problem... but now that I've flushed the plants and the problem is still showing with the new growth, now I'm thinking I have a real problem.
I'm pretty sure the pH of the dirt and the water is fine. I tested my tap water and it's at about a 6. I tried nuts and i tried no nuts. Please help... pictures are attached.
To sum-up the survey below.. i use
advanced nutrients because i worry about the pH. The pH of my water is high, like 7.7, the pH of my dirt is the same, but I was told that with
Advanced Nutrients, it doesn't matter what the pH of your water is… Am i wrong? If not, is there an easy way to lower the pH of my water… ?
