hellllp leaf problems

[stinkleaf]

so this was up until now my first successful grow for the exception of the older leaves turning yellow with blackish spots on them but this delemma started when i relized i got miracle grow potting soil with the extended release fertalizer in it so i tried to flush it but i think that the flora kleen i was using is no good because i left it outside over summer? because as soon as i tried to flush it using the flora kleen the new growth stared turning brown almost instantally so i rushed to the tub and started running fresh water through it and the browing of the leaves stopped but now about two days after that the lower leaves are starting to yellow and fall off ive only fertalied once since i switched to flowering which was about 3 weeks ago because i was afraid of of over fertalizing because of the fertalizer in the soil already
i used half strength tiger bloom but that didnt seem to have any effect on it in a bad way
heres a picture of the lower leaves that are yellowing



and heres a picture of what i think the flora kleen did


if anyone ould help me it would be greatly appreaciated thanks

MG potting soil sucks if you arent used to it. No real good way to use it and suppliment with ferts, seen it trash too many plants to recommend its further usage. Flushing with straight tap without letting the chlorine dissipate for a day isnt good either. Then that last pic is showing ph issues. You can pick up a decent Hanna Checker1 for $25 and it will pay for itself in the first crops usage.

yea i didnt know that about the tap water i think im gonna start going to those water things to get some ro water from now on and thanks for the help with the ph ill have to get a test kit and check what its at cuz i know the water here is kinda high in ph like 7 ish from the tap

hey just a heads up my water from the tap is between7.8 and8.2

 

[stinkleaf]

yea mines like rediclously high and its like really hard water also

but if anyone knows anything i should do or change to help it get better let me know im starting to get worried the bottom leaves are starting to drop like crazy but the new bud growth hasnt slowed to much and the new leaves are ok should i get some new flora kleen and try to flush with some ph adjusted water? and check the ph of my soil?

 

[firsttimegrower]

hey man my plants are doing the same thing and there is nothing i could do to lower it efficiantly no sulfur so i put in low ph water and they have just slowed down the prob

 

[stinkleaf]

yea im going to try that i just went and picked up some better soil for next time around it doesnt have any added nutes its called filthy rich so im hoping this stuffs better because im sure thats what started this problem and i dont think i helped it out by using plain tap water so im trying ro water now
