hey there??
dont worry so much,your plant will adapt,just carry on giving it fert on about an every 1.5 week regime!!!
try giving it a fert with more K than N or P at this stage,as your plants rely on this at the stage it's at!!!

i grow the same way, if your ph is over 7.5 or lower than 5.5, your plant wont be able to absorb the nutes, when my ph gets too high, i use 2 tablespoons of distilled white vinegar, yes i said distilled white vinegar.
it seems weird but it keeps my ph down to 5.5 to 6.5
and i use baking soda to raise my ph, but that`s not a problem with the water i use
h
hope this helps
sorry, that`s 2 tablespoons per gallon of water used
and remember to use ph balanced water ONLY in the last week or two of flowering to get rid of that chemical taste your bud will have if you dont.

You need to go and get a ph tester and abide by the rules for proper growth, I disagree with the other two post a PH tester can be found at your local plant shop or swimming pool shop. The other two post did give you some methods that you can use to adjust up or down, but you do need to test for proper PH and that not down by adding nukes!!!!!!! That just cause other problems, a TDS meter will tell you about the Parts Per Million of Total Disolved Solid that what you use for adding Nukes. Bizzy

distilled white vineager is not a nute, i was trying to help him adjust his ph levels with a simple method, in hydro ph levels should be a tad lower than soil .because of the immediate obtainability to the plants roots, so if it`s to high or too low, they wont be absorbed by the roots. plain and simple.

He need to know what his PH is before deciding Plane and Simple. Bizzy
