I need insight with PH levels

[spunk]

If it was mag I don't think the spots would turn brown and kill off the leaves. This is going by charts and other posts,not my own thought. I have without a doubt hit them with cal/mag but nothing stops it from killing 50% of the leaves. I cut all bad leaves off,not the best idea but for reason to see if it would come back after major treatment and in 3-6 days I was looking at the same problem all over again. My soild reading is less then 7 yet higher then 6.3 and my run off is now 6.3 as to feeding with 6.5 ph. It is clear that stress,ph going up and down,lock outs,flushes ect had made them untreatable. I'm going to ride the nightmare of my first med grow out and hope for the best. If anything,I will have a nice seed pile to germ from without having to guess what they went though. I hope to germ one seed,clone and the keep going untill my likeing. This is getting way ahead of myself and my skills BUT it keeps me going.

I thank everyone for the advice and I really mean that!

That spotting is mg def, worst I've seen. How are they looking these days?
Trying to control a grow too much is where alot of people run into trouble.

Well rusty. he stated that he was using synthetic nutrients and switched to organics mid stride and if this was true then yes he did kill a lot of the microbes in the soil. Being that FF is not 100% organic, whatever that could mean.

And I've never said anything about organics being superior to synthetics. I've never said FF is bad. I've even said before that I have used them and like them, see my log. I believe if you read what I have ever written about organics especially earth juice is that I like it because of 1. taste and 2. I don't have to PH it. This was way before PH perfect came out (see above).

Why all the hate on this forum? I thought this were growers come together to figure things out? I mean man your not even following the thread you just come on jump down my throat. Then state to read the FF website, when the dude isn't even using FF anymore. For real homie?

I will stand by what I say. If you use synthetic nutrients or semi synthetic nutrients i.e. Fox Farm and switch to an all organic nutrient (GO) you might run into some problems. Such as the OP is stating. No hard feelings Rusty.

I could care less what brand he's using, it's the "organic" vs. "non-organic" references I really have the problem with. Switches mid-stream should be avoided, but mainly because of redundancies and possible interactions when the two are combined in the soil, and the remote possibility that a build-up of salts or minerals might compound issues...A good flush remedies most of these concerns, but you'd better be familiar with the new nutrient package or you'll run into new problems via inexperience.

Twas the tenor of your post, but my point was to get the OP to go find the schedule and compare it to what he was actually doing. One can learn bunches from previous mistakes.

For starters, I'm not your fucking homie. Got it...? And actually, I've bitten my tongue on a few of your other posts, as you inaccuracies were'nt overly detrimental to the member you were "helping".

I often give extra info to the casual reader, and sometimes the reference is a tangental or peripheral subject, but worth throwing-out there. Including the Fox Farms website, or any other manufacturers website where there is a weekly feeding schedule for their product. And HOLY CRAP, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT...there's also info about the OP's original ph question right there at the bottom of the Fox Farms Weekly Feeding Schedule. Imagine that... :wtf:

Since you are pretending knowledge with someone that actually has some, please tell me...exactly what problems are you refering to? I want to see specifics. I want to see you finish your thoughts, instead of throwing crazy statements out there with no explination., as this breeds mis-information and ignorance.

I aslo stand by what I've said.

No hard feelings, but I suggest you keep your insight to facts, not suppositions.

What was the outcome to your situation with that yellow spotting? I think that kind of thing can be fixed with a teaspoon of epsom salt in a gallong of water. If you switched ferts to GO or anything else, read the label and see if it has magnesium in it. If not, that's the problem.

Some growers like to fluctuate their PH levels but I always keep mine at 6.0 in veg and flower.

so spunk did you fix your ph issues?? I def am having the exact same problems.
