Alkalinity is measured in Ppms not the ph. Two different things. The more ppms of alkalinity the longer it takes to buffer your ph. If it’s over 100 your soil can’t buffer it correctly. 6.5-6.8 is ideal for soil from what I’ve seen.

Those plants look very healthy to me. New growth at that stage is going to be lighter green and gets darker as it matures.

If you are close to 6.0, it could have a hard time with P. Easy for our pens to be off the tiniest bit. If your pen shows 6.0 but is actually 5.8 then you could have problems. I stopped phing my water when I was told on here when I first started growing that soil buffers ph and you don’t need to. My plants locked out calcium magnesium and phosphorus. My cities water test shows an alkalinity of 150 ppms. My soil (fox farm) wasn’t able to buffer it.

Tip burn happens, nothing to be overly worried about. When do your lights go off?

You are using 3 part micro grow and bloom nutrients, what company are they from? The lower ph at the bottom of the containers could be an accumulation of salts from the liquid nutrients building up. Next watering, use water only and use enough so you get some runoff and it’ll help flush that out there.

As far as the drooping goes, if you download the Photone app, I believe I saw someone recommend that app earlier, it’s free for android and 6.95 for apple, worth every penny, they could be getting too much light.

Did you make the diffuser with a piece of paper? That is way too low, during flower you want closer to 40dli, Ppfd 700-900.

Perfect, in flower you want that to be much higher. During veg I go from 300 at the beginning and slowly increase it, usually no higher than 450. When I flip, I’ll slowly increase it from there. By the end of stretch I like to be 700-800ppfd 30-40 dli. Increase your light to 300 Ppfd. Then slowly increase it from there. Don’t rush it, they could herm if it’s too much of an increase. The measurement should be taken from the top of the plant

It was taken from the top. I had my light kinda far to produce more light for all the plants but as I see I need this other light to come in to be able to support this many plants. I’m using a honorsen 4000 and I’m gonna run my evo10 with it I guess cause I’m in a 4x8 with 8 plants

My last couple grows I didn’t get hardly anything but maybe 4 oz total for 5 plants so I knew I was doing something wrong and I think I figured it out. Or I’m getting on a good track to knowing what to do
