Someone help my plant recover

[nohurrygrower]

My plant is hurting. It has some deficiency can someone help diagonise the issues? Bottom leaves look better than top. The new leaves just look awful
Please help

It looks hungry,I would feed it once it's dry with a high nitrogen mix but don't drench it and put it off the light a bit till it recovers.

@nohurrygrower, you may be rootbound

What is the process for transplanting a bigger size pot. Im only used to red solo cups and I just cut them with sciscoors. The root ball stays together and you just dump it out? And put it inside a bigger pot?

Look at the holes in the bottom of the pot for roots poking thru, try grabbing the stalk and gently lift it out. You may have to massage the sides of the pot first if it's stuck. Roll the pot between the palms of your hands and it should come right out if it is root bound.

Put some fresh soil in the new pot, place plant in then fill around the sides.

Looks like to much water to me. How heavy is the pot and when did you water last?

Def too much water

Lockout not hungry. Yellowing new growth is a lockout. Yellowing old growth is a deficiency. Why is it locking out? More than likely pH fluctuation. I would guess low pH. Very rare does a lockout occur from high pH

Wouldn't hurt to give her a root trimming if she's root bound and replace that volume with dry media if she's too wet. Also - you may have too many grow-tips competing for light and they may be choking each-other out - you might want to trim out some of the grow-tips to maybe 6-8 main branches.

Yea Its not deficiency. I was not phing my feed than I saw ph lockout and all my feeds have been at 6.0ph since

I would raise it to 6.2-6.5 if it were me. Better absorbtion of nutrients.

I raised it to 6.3 on this feed. Are my plants doomed? Im in the first week of flowering

 

[nohurrygrower]

So my ph is off big time but its not low it is too high. My run off ph was 8.7 when I fed 6.3 ph

Her Ph is way off. I fed 6.3ph and the run off read 8.7ph

Ph is too high in the medium. My runoff was 8.7ph on a 6.3ph feed

 

[Crazy Chester]

Then you should flush with low PH water until you get the runoff PH you want - then, give her a feed because all the nutrients will be flushed out.

 

[Crazy Chester]

If you are in coco/perlite mix, you want your run-off PH to be 5.6-5.8 after you feed her.

Where can i get low ph water my tap water is 8.9 here. Maybe that is what got me here. What are good organic low ph solutions. If my runoff is 8.7 I need to feed it low 5s until it comes down slowly

 

[Crazy Chester]

You can use citric acid to lower your tap water PH - it has the added benefit of chemically neutralizing chloramine. I buy it as a powder in the baking section at the supermarket. I have the same tap water PH as you - a pinch of citric acid brings the PH into range - if I go too low, I just pour some out of my container and run more tap water in to bring the PH up.

Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said I will fix your rack if you take Jack my dog
I said wait a minute Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man
He said that's OK boy, won't you feed him when you can
