MG def? Low PH?

[Guest]

I know this is small def, but I want to fix it asap so it doesent get any less-greener!

What do you guys think?

There should be planty of nutes in the soil..I have quality soil with biosuper mix from plagron 5%.. that should do! I really suspect low ph and locking out Mg and shit...




Peace and love,
Agnes

I think you're right to suspect low pH first. Be sure your meter is calibrated and your calibration solution is fresh.

Curious if that chart is for soil or soiless? Also what is " too low "?

 

[Guest]

I am right there with you Agnes on the low PH. I had the prob with my Morning stars. I think I have it remedied now though. I raised the PH in my water from 6.5 top 7.0 and that fixed it.

I got PH meter today from a friend but it's not calibrated and soil ph mesuring is really fucked up... I have to rais pH slowly without mesuring ph.. i have a working PPM meter tho... what can I do!?

Please help...

Peace and love,

[Guest]

Oh and another question for smart ppl

When the PH is falling, what element will be locked first?

Peace and love,

I believe that chart is for soil. Any pH above 6.3 and below 7.0 or so shouldn't be a problem with most varieties of cannabis. In soil, phosphorous and magnesium are first to be locked out as pH falls, but the symptoms of phos. def. aren't nearly as obvious as those of mag. deficiency, so you usually notice mag. symptoms first, IME.

If you aren't able to test the pH of your water/runoff, I would recommend buying a few gallons of distilled water and flushing lightly with that. The pH of distilled should be *near* 7.0 somewhere.

 

[Guest]

Agnes you need to go to a grow store and get some clibration solution and calibrate your PH meter. If that is not possible go to a pool supply store or hardware store and buy a cheap PH test kit for pools.

Instead of buying distilled water for the same money you can buy RO water. It is much cleaner.

Iam no expert ,but those are my 2 cents

Is there anything else you can use for mg def, I am lazy and don't wanna go to the store for epsom salt...whats the diff between it and table salt? I know you don't EAT epsom salt but just curious. My new growth has some tiny rusty spots.

I once shouted loudly for magnesium from the sanctity of my toilet but found it wasnt much help either. I eventually had to go someplace and get it as opposed to feeding my plants cooked spinach.

Salt is Sodium Chloride and Epsom Salt is Magnesium Sulfate - not related at all

 

[Guest]

Turkish Do Not use table salt!!!!! It will poison your plants. Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate and table salt is sodium.

Lol don't worry I didn't, I got off my lazy ass yesterday right after I posted that question and got some epsom, but it hasn't helped any yet and who knows if it is even a mag def, I prolly just have low ph water...plants looking sad lol 1 day it went from beautiful and healthy to looking like I rubbed cheetos on the top of it.

 

[Guest]

Hang in there Turkish there are a lot of fine people here that will help you out with any problem you have. I don't give much advice because I am not an expert.

Keep um growin

distilled is 6.0 ph. Dasani is 5.0 ph, seems like waste water to me.

 

[anurag]

The distilled in my area is 6.8 - 6.9 ph.

 

[Student Of Life]

lol rickyjack, you just bumped an 11 year old thread

 

[fredDRO.MoBB]

ph off runoff doesn't mean shit. mines at low 5s but plants are beautiful. never had a problem with ph n i never check run off till dis grow. cus i thouhgt I had low ph but the thing was dat i was puttin to cold of water n the light was also to high.. growers please stop telling new growers to check runoff ph. all ur doin is making it difficult for new growers to accomplish a successful grow

I know it's an old thread, but always actual lol I have the same thing going on with Queen Mother and SugarLoaf, and I think it's not pH related, but too hot soil for those varieties...

 

[anurag]

Bruce Banner, Last run I had some Queen Mothers with strange colors on the leaves. Maybe as you point out it was too hot a soil mix. But in the end they were real pretty, like the trees in the fall. I find the high from them strange, sometimes it is strong and instant, other times, slow and spacey. I'll be following to see what you make of the high.
