Looking for photos of plants with high pH.

[dr.bomkfist]

Hi,
can someone share photos of plants that have too high pH? Preferably in soil.

Thanks

Once cannabis is outside of its intended ph zone, any of these PH symptoms can occur, spotting, yellowing and/or twisting.

Nutrients that are locked out due to high ph could be any of the micro or macro nutrients and different strains can show different lockouts at same high/low ph levels.

So in other words there isn’t a definitive guide or photos to what constitutes high ph in cannabis.

If a plant shows any deficiency, it is because of one of four things and should be checked in this order:

1. Atmosphere light/heat/air.
2. PH, soil & nutrient mix.
3. Grower is supplying too many nutrients
4. Grower isn’t supplying enough nutrients.

Also if you are a new grower I recommend them to Lucas method, two bottle or three bottle nutrient products.

Sorry man, I didn’t have any pictures. Just advice…

If you have a plant issue post her up, ’ll knock it out for you.

Here's a couple pic's of my little one that is (believe it or not) almost 3 weeks old. I have CFL lighting (26w 6500k) running 18/6, 2/3 organic soil with 1/3 perlite. I also rigged up a yeast/sugar/water co2 system attached to a fan blowing on her.

I'm leaning toward high PH. But I wanted as professional an opinion as I could get. Any ideas?

If it IS a PH problem, here's your pictures, bro.

^ That looks like straight up nitrogen deficiency, not pH related.

To the OP: plants growing in too acidic or too alkaline of conditions will look similar. Basically, they look all discolored, have spots, are crinkled, a whole bunch of simultaneous symptoms are present. To the point where, you start thinking, "it looks like this, but it also looks like this" and so on and so forth.

PH being off causes all kinds of bad stuff. I suggest Ed Rosenthal Garden Saver Handbook. It has picts of every nutrient deficiency and how to fix it. Also picts of major bugs that attack and how to fight them and not poison anyone.

What cause the leaves to fold upward? Is that a nitrogen thing? 'Cuz I can't find pictures of that anywhere.

It's what happens right before a leaf begins to shrivel and fall off. Also, on second glance, it looks like there might be a slight heat problem. Are your temps good? When leaves have difficulty transpiring, they have a tendency to get a little twisty like that.

Temperature stays at between 78 and 83. If I see it get to 83.5, I surround the runoff tray with ice packs since I can't cool the house much more when it's 95-103 outside.

My friend's room has similar temperatures, reaching 83, and has no similar problems. Sorry to ask your opinion and still weigh it against my friend. But I can physically see his set up.

Okay, then yes, you are not giving the plants as much N as they need. Easy fix, my friend.

 

[figtreejoe]

Ok, so, I'm assuming the 3-2-4 stuff I have isn't going to cut it?

 

[hush]

Not necessarily. What really matters is what is the NPK of the nutes you are currently feeding? That's the only way to answer that question.

 

[figtreejoe]

Couldn't tell you. Don't have a meter. I'll have to pick one up at the local specialty shop, I guess. I was really trying not to have to buy all this shit. But I guess I'm gonna have to be THAT guy.

 

[hush]

No, I was asking what is the NPK printed on the bottle of the nutes you are using so far... have you been feeding? If so, with what?

 

[figtreejoe]

3-2-4

 

[hush]

Okay then yeah, that's obviously not cutting it. This plant apparently needs more N in the formula. Maybe fish emulsion? That's usually like a 5-1-1.
