Help with diagnosis plz

Hey, I've been having this problem in my current grow and it happened last grow as well. I'm pretty sure that its a pH lockout. Try adding hydrated lime to some water after flushing. I've read its supposed to bring the pH to around 7. I'm crossing my fingers that it will for me anyway.

can you have a look at the picure i have just posted to see if we have a similar problem?

hmm, it could be this because i don't have a meter. So im kindof scared to mess around with this.. but i will if salsbury has a metre i can pick up. the ph metres on ebay that use no batteries are peices of shit that don't even work. well, i think im gonna try watering with that fish emulsion this time, and if that doesn't work i will flush and do the lime.

also if its any type of watering problem i think it would be underwatering.. so i guess i have it narrowed down to either underwatering, ph-lockout, nute lockout, or nitrogen deficiency. I will try to find the prob, tx for the help guys.

p.s. get back to me on how that lime works and we can work this thing out together :thumbsup: cause i just watered with the fish-emulsion.

Hey whatsup again guys, i still have this prob after the fish emulsion :(. I'm gonna try to get some ph down from salsbury and add that to water and flush them. any recommendations on the ph of the water i should use? Thanks.

6.4

I HAVE A NEW REP SQUARE! YAY!

did you flush your plants before giving them fish emulsion? cause nothing will really help until you flush them.

Not yet, but tomorro if i can get off work early enough ill def be buyin some ph-down and flushing all of them with ph 6.4 water.. might as well, i'd hate to see the other 2 goin through this as well. but thanks again for the help guys, ill report back on how it turns out :cool:

to do a proper flush, you are supposed to flush with 3x the amount your pot holds. ie 3 gallon pot, flush with 9 gallons of water. Just in case you didn't know.

ps: if the water running out the bottom of the pot is yellow-ish, that's a definite sign of nute buildup. been there, done that.
