Im a beginner here myself bout could it help to water closer to a pH around 5.8 the next few waterings to lower your soil pH.
That mite be a good idea,I have a shitty soil tester somewhere I should see what’s going on with the soil,to be honest I think it’s the black gold soil

Which bag of black gold did you get, there are different mixes and some are really bland while others are hot. If that is the only thing you changed I’d definitely be suspicious of that.

he said his runoff had 838 ppm, assuming 500 scale that seems hot for the size of the plant almost 1700 or 1.7 ec
Just the potting soil natural organic ,I do use it for young plants instead of ocean forest soil
But I’ve never grown the full plant in

I was just curious if you had grabbed the amendment and planted straight in it , but that’s the potting soil. Did anything else change in your room , it does look like several deficiencies all at once but sometimes to much can lock out other things . Looks like your probably low on all the basics, the ppm of the run off water does not necessarily reflect nutrients it could just be dirt and other organic substances. The numbers on that bag are almost non existent and cannabis eats the crap out of food.
Has ten been happening slow or did they go from happy to that in say less then 3 days ?

This been happening last few days,it’s the soil I need to double up on the nutes to make it work
When I use ocean forest soil I only give 1/4 teaspoon of grow big and big bloom to gallon of water,
The plants are hungry ,I have some tiger bloom I’ve not used yet I mite have to use some of that next feeding

Yep I’d say so you definitely want to correct that asap with out over watering, I have to switch to slow release dry amendments in the winter because my soil dosent dry out fast enough for me to feed as often as they sometimes want so I mix it in when it starts cooling off. Really trips me out how some can do good with little to no food while others eat like a starving dog.

Black gold soil stays wet that’s another problem you water to much,it will mold,I had some red peepers growing in my tent in the same soil I noticed some mold on it,it’s in the bin now lol

Yeah it’s really heavy with peat moss and worm castings , the amendment bag weighs as much as three normal bags of dirt , Im sure there potting mix has alot in it also, I’m currently working on saving a clone that got to much light and water to soon.
