Weirdest thing Ive ever seen

Ok so I amazingly found the milwaukee 600 at the store so I bought one and it comes out that my tap water is about 7.3-7.4 and the stored water is about 7.7 and that's pretty high. I'll have to find away to drop it down and flush the plants today

They have all kinds of home remedies for ph on here. I cant remember what they are but Im pretty sure they are for quick fixes not permanent solutions. I use advanced up and down. Cost like 50 bucks for both but ill probably never use all of it. I use 5 to 8 drops at a time. Just something for you to think about. Did that milwaukee come with any calibration solution? You might wanna make sure its right on before you go adjusting your water. It would suck for the pen to be off. Just my 2 cents.

No it didn't and now your worrying me lol. I did a mixture of flushing methods. Some with a little bit of lemon some with a little bit of fert and some just straight water. Also I dimmed the lights a little bit. So that they can stop getting blasted. As far as the meter I'm just hoping it was calibrated When I flushed the plants the water that came out the bottom was reading between 6.4 and 7 for every plant. I'll see tomorrow. Oh and my thermometer is reading about 84-88 degrees right now with the new fan and it feels a lot Cooler than it did before so I wouldn't be surprised if it was about 100+ in there before. I hope I see something I like tomorrow

Is it possible to have the doors of your cabinet open during lights on? If so that would help you out alot if the room its in is cool. Dont know how descrete you have to be. They are gonna love that cooler temp. 85 and under you should be fine. Keep us updated on how they look tomorrow. Good luck

Amazing u have gone that Dar without a ph pen

[westsacgrower]

Lol thanks. I've tried to just judge based off what the plants looking. I guess I've been getting pretty lucky in the past. Now that I'm changing shit up I'm getting pissed off cause it's not working lol.

So I haven't lossed any plants yet. They look maybe a little better today than yesterday. I can sort of see some new hairs trying to grow. Very slow though. They look like crap and not at all hairy like they should be. Only time will tell I guess. One other question Is after I flushed them when and about how much water should I give them aide ibdont want to over water or over feed them

[pushit]

Once you flush them wait til they dry out or need water. Once they need water i usually water slowly till i see a little runoff. Alot of people suggest putting your finger in about an inch and see if the soil is dry. Others suggest lift your pot after its watered and make a mental note of the weight then when the pot feels light then its time for water. I usually just chill out on watering til the plants leaves droop. Once they start drooping i water then usually a couple hours later they are perked right back up. I have no set schedule for watering. I let the plants tell me. There is also moisture meters you can buy but from what i hear they work ok. Some like them some hate them. Over time you will find out what works for you. So are you planning on using nutes? How far are they into flowering?

[westsacgrower]

yeah i think ill do that they got some more water this morning so ill just wait till i notice a drop in leaves before i water them again. thanks for the help im actually starting to see some more hairs come out now so my hopes are back up. and im in my second week of flowering and the only nutes i have are miracle grow bloom booster with is a 15-30-15 fertilizer with some other nutrients thrown in there as well. my last grow i would make the solution how its supposed to be made in a one gallon container and then use only about 2 oz in a double shot glass for each plant before watering with a lager cup of just water. so i woud dilute it down quite a bit you could say. but i would add a little bit more each week.
