Girl scout cookies First ever grow having some issues ****PICS****

[Gmalfavon1]

I bought these 4 clones at a dispensary and potted them in 1 gallon pots on 7/1/13 they are under 18 hours light i have 12 20watt 6500k mini cfls so each gets 60watts per plant. soil is Roots organic original straight out of the bag.. temps are 80-86 all the time. water is from a well, i dont know what the ph is tho and ive only been watering when soil feels dry.... new growths feels dry lights are about 3-4 inches from tops. what i have thought could be the issue too is i have abox fan that i have on the lowest setting and at about 4ft away from the box i dont know if the air is too direct but surly that cant cause the spotting on the leaves maybe just the dryness...

any help would be greatly appreciated...Attachment 292799Attachment 292800Attachment 292801Attachment 292802Attachment 292803Attachment 292804Attachment 292805

Check the ph of the water and use bottled water until you know. You have a ph problem, purple stems, yellow leaves. Don't do anything until you know the ph because you could do more harm than good.

You nailed it lipps...that's definitely pH issues...lockout

What is the "RH"? Appear to be dry, also is the fan hitting the girls directly cuz may be drying them a bit. Just my 2 cents.

:thumbsup:

Thanks fellas. Lipps its definetly ph.I bought a aquarium ph strip test that only measures between 6.2-8.4 and my well water indicated 8.4!!! But what sucks is that it may be higher but the strips don't ph higher than that :/

How should I just start watering with 6.5 water?


Esteban1 what's Rh?

[Esteban1]

Relative Humidity & yea, PH is way high. Well water does contain calcium & other trace minerals that will increase your PH. You can collect rain water?

Peace

You can use vinegar, ph down or vit C to bring the ph down, play with the well water and see what you can do, pick one plant as a test plant and see what the adjusted water does be careful not to over water. The soil is buffered to maintain ph so it should be OK, a little vit c is good for ailing plants just don't over do it, teaspoon per gallon or so, foliar feeding liquid kelp is also helpful for sick plants and always try it on the tester first and watch the new growth to see if they're getting better.
