I've just cuted pair of the smallest leafs . Here pics of them .
What is the problem with them ? :mad:
Its not overfeed problem because i never fertilized them yet .
Maybe is PH too low ??
Will this "shit" spread on oder leafs ?
Advice or solution for this problem appreciated . :thumbsup:
Thanks ! :jointsmile:
What is the runoff pH?
What is the soil?
What are the temperature and %humidity, and how do you determine when to water them?
How old are the plants?
your pH is off, you need to adjust it accordingly. If your in hydro get that to 5.5 - 5.9, if your in soil, get that run off to 6.5 - 6.9. Your seeing the side effects to the start of a pH lockout and if you do not correct this soon, you will have alot tougher time getting out of it (trust me, this is what i have gone thru) If you dont have a digital pen for testing pH, do yourself a favor and get one. My suggestion is to stay away from the Hana product, they have caused me more issues than they are worth.
Ok. Temperature is around 19 - 24 C !
Lowest humidity 55 % , highest 75 % !
I don't now for soil exactly . . normal mix soil for balcony flowers !
On the bag of soil => PH 7.0 ! So its ok .
Runoff PH ? ? Sorry .
Any help ?
Fuck ! I just ordered Hanna PH meter ! !
Anyway , thanks for warning ! :jointsmile:
Oh ! The plants have 25 days ! :)
Runoff pH.......
Get yourself a good amount of tap water, check the pH of that water then add a bunch to it so that it is running out the bottom of the pot. Capture that water and test the pH again. Now you have the pH of the water before it hits the dirt and the pH of the water after it comes out. The pH of the water that has been thru the pot is the pH that you want to be around 6.5 - 6.9. The soil may pH at 7.0 BUT can have peat or other things in there to bring it up, or if you have nutes in the water will bring that pH WAY down..... I think you will see the problem with you do a soil run-off pH test.
Thanks ! I will do that when my ph meter arrive ! ! :thumbsup:
before you use your Hanna pH meter.....get yourself some 7.01 solution and soak it for 2+ hours in that. Then turn on your meter to make sure that it is calibrated to 7.01 with your solution. I have found that i have to keep it soaked in the solution and then from time to time when i am doing my hydro stuff i have to check it again. So make sure you can an extremely close eye on your meter calibration.
