Crisis in the Closet. Day 4 *dramatic network news music* dundundun!

looking at the pics you have some lights very close,they look like enviro lights but even they can manage to burn.but you still have the ph problem.have you tried putting clean water through to see exactly the change of ph as it passes through your soil? have you considerd that some of your nutes might be getting locked in and flushing with clean water for a while might improve your situation?

This has been going on for a couple of days, but since my unfortunate incarceration, I was unable to post. Okay, I had some yellowing leaves, so I gave the ladies a light dose of veg ferts for one feeding. Then, I decided to quit being such a slacker, and test my runoff. My soil was reading 6.8 and 6.9. My tap water was reading 8.0. My runoff was reading 8.0! So, using lemon juice for lack of a better product, I pHed my water down to 6.8, and flushed Lily with 12 Rating: 5

Hey Matt...yeah, when I flushed my runoff was still 8.0. When I saw what happened to Lily after flushing, I didn't flush Pat.

The close lights are 2700k 26w (100 output) cfls, and they are actually about 1-2 inches away. Those are just side lighting.

Anything new Mrs GJ? Sure wish I had something to offer but soil.....

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Nothing new I'm afraid.
We've finally got the water situation squared away in my new house, and should be moving in by this weekend. I think I'll transfer them to there, and commence intensive care.

Some of the leaves look like some of my plants do when they get to close to the light.

One foot is fine for the 400 watt.

Move your cfls a few more inches away. They can put out more heat than you think.

This is totally savable.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I'm moving them to the new house today. I don't have a room set up yet, but they need to be moved or I can't care for them properly. I'll have to put them in a makeshift area for now. It will still be better than their current setup.

Know your moving but update when you can Mrs GJ...

Hey Hound, click my log link in my sig. I updated there.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. :hippy:

Water with PHed water everytime (6.5) and you want have to worry about your soil PH. It will bring it back with every watering.

There may be some salt buildup but it doesn't look like a nute burn. I see a P deficiency...there may be more.

Light bleaching looks like this.
