sorry if i'm just repeating a question but i couldn't find it anywhere, the leaves at the bottom of my plant are turning yellow & then they die, i've cut off the bottom two but the next lot are starting to aswell, how do i stop it, help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thankyou plz
I just answered your other post. but I have had the same problem when I tried just straight tap water. But nowdays I dont get that problem at all anymore because of using ph 6 water and feeding nutes sometimes half strength.
sounds like they need more food :D im having the same problems at the mo and i just upped the dose ..c how it goes i guess .but im still on me 1st grow so i wudnt advise listening to me
good luck tho :rasta:
Check your PH and adjust it if needed to 6.0 - 6.5 for Hydro or 6.5 - 6.8 for soil.

tap water has many irons and chemicals in it especially when you make the mistake of using warm tap water to try to bring down tempts to room temp all in all ditch the tap water and buy gallons of water poland spring deer park there 1.50 a gallon had the same problems myself also could be poor soil quality as for the above advice of feeding them i dont recomend that unless u wanna fert burn and throw them into shock for a couple weeks best of luck
i use rainwater thats 6.7 PH, i was thinking of trying some nitrates.
last night one of my friends told me that its because it doesn't need the bottom leaves anymore so it gets rid of them to concerntrate efforts on the others closer to the top. sounds a bit like bullshit to me though, what do you think? anyone know if this is actualy true or not?
i just checked the PH of the rainwater (it's in a barrel) & it was nowhere near what it was last time i checked, more like 7.5 so i put some PH down in it. hopefully that'll help it out
Normally the leaves at the bottom do die off
yeah they do die off dont worry bout that. Just make sure their getting their right amount of Nitro ;)
The PH was probably the problem all the Nutes in the world won't help if your PH is too high for your plants to be able to use them.
