Bulster Reviewed by Bulster on 09-16-2009. WHY THIS ? (PH ?) ????????????? (pics) Could someone give me a hint as to what's wrong with these plants? I am relatively experienced but this is my first outdoor grow. Indica dominant bag seed growing outdoors in the California sun in regular topsoil. I always water w. PH corrected water and started some light GH nutes a couple of weeks ago. Soil PH is quite a bit higher than what's optimal so I keep the water around 6.2 to counter that a bit without going overboard. They have been in this soil for at least a month now. Rating: 5

OK, here are the PH results:
Well water PH: 7.5
Composted Horse manure w wood shavings that I put on top of the soil, PH: 7.5
Soil: When mixing the 7.5 water with the soil and then testing the 'mud' it comes to 8.2, so I am assuming that my soil PH is at least 8.5 if not a little higher.

Make sense? Can I just keep watering with 6.2 water or would it be better to work some peat moss into the soil?

This plant usually cupps its leaves when temperatures are too high. That plant is probably getting full sun most of the day and is simply too hot for too long. Could probably use more watering to compensate. It could be to much fertilizer, but I doubt it. Most likely it's heat.
