I finally got an EC Meter and my ppm is at 1071 on my pineapple express so Iām guessing it was the low ph screwing up my plant or do you think 1071 ppm is too low?

On the contrary, if you have flushed with RO water it looks high for me, specially being a sativa dominant hybrid. Whatās clear now is that the plant has enough food available, so if it cannot process it and apparently has deficiencies that mean pH is out of range.These are my references:
How old is that soil? It lasts for 30 days, I donāt know if it could be depleted now and you will need to add some nutes. I see it also has a lot of Nitrogen which is not convenient now entering in advanced flower stage. Add some CalMag and check runoff pH. I hate organics because you have no control about the nutes youāre giving, I am sure an organic expert grower can give you better advice, Iāve got the feeling of being chasing shadows ā¦

I definitely think itās the low ph, I was never really able to bring it up. I feel like Iām so close to the finish line that I may just water with straight tap water until I finish. Thanks for all the help and the reference chart this really helps.

Deffo too hot Iād thinkā¦ Iām having same issuesā¦ soil keeps getting too hotā¦ either from not enough uptake or ph issueā¦ or overwateringā¦ the list goes onā¦ but looks like similar shit that I have going onā¦ thatās why a flush makes em look better for a day or soā¦ but for some reason looks bad againā¦ leaning toward ph too lowā¦ or too many/big swings in phā¦ and nute build up

Yeah Iām thinking itās both the ph and nute burn. The tips started turning yellow and brown after I started nutrients. Next time Iām just gonna focus on the ph. Now my Jack Herer is starting to show the same symptoms but the ph is not as lowš¤¦āāļø

If ph is all good then Iād think itās just too hot of soil / nutes stillā¦ something is causing it to stop uptake it seemsā¦
Also if using distilledā¦ doesnāt that have zero calmag like ro water? Youāll need extra calmag because your water is completely strippedā¦ does it have reverse osmosis water directions as well on the back?
I stopped with the distilled for that reason, no calmag. Now Iām using straight tap with ph down as my tap comes out the faucet at 7.5-8 ph. Iām gonna focus on the ph for now and forget all the nutes except for the big bloom.

Watch for the tap to rise more or things like thatā¦ try to ph your tapā¦ and wait 1 hour and check againā¦ see if it changes on you ā¦ may be alot of buffer fighting going on ā¦ also. . Are you allowing this tap water to sit out for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate?

I bought an expensive 90 dollar ph meter from hannaā¦ total piece of shit from day 1ā¦ ruined like 5 attempts at growingā¦ I didnāt understand how or why this could happen with a new productā¦ possibly check your new pens against another to be sure
Did you calibrate it? They need to be calibrated almost every month.

For sure!! That guardian is good too I knowā¦ 1 step above the combo plusā¦ yours does constant readingā¦ mine is a spot check readingā¦ buuuuuutā¦ I can check soil ph with it lol

If Iād have known if have went with aroya solus teros 12 for the moneyā¦ after allā¦ our meters have like a 1 to 3 year warranteeā¦ the teros lasts like 10 years lolā¦ and gives a way better insight of whatās up in the pot alwaysā¦ but it wonāt help you mix nutes thoughā¦ the downside of the teros 12ā¦

I donāt wait at all, I just go from the tap to a bucket where I ph and then water my plants. But I never thought about waiting an hour to ph again, I will try that next time.

Oh bro yeah you gotta let that chlorine evaporateā¦ try putting it in 5 gallon bucketsā¦ and let em sit for a day.
At least 24 hoursā¦ then do your thing broā¦ let me know if that was it manā¦ chlorine in excess will fuck your plants up gromigo
