EMERGENCY!! FORGOT to pH all my feed!!!!!

[treeofsatta]

Shit I just watered all my plants then realised I forgot to pH it!!!! Will it be OK just this once or do I need to flush and start again????

It will be okay just once. How soon will they get fed again?

 

[treeofsatta]

The pH is 6.7!

good question * bump *

 

[sackoweed]

you should be fine.. Dont start focking with them it will then become a mess.. That is why i havent ph'ed in years. and not a problem since.. peace n pufs..

[treeofsatta]

will feed again tomorrow or the day after

 

[Stray]

afraid its a little more serious than that tree,you gotta go and chop your hands off cos its pretty unacceptable behaviour IMO

 

[Gdood9]

You'll be fine. The coco itself should be ph'd enough to handle some sway

 

[sackoweed]

just dont let it happen again.. Next time you go in the garden, your plants will stab you in the eyes with the same scissors you use to trim with cos of the lack of ph.. peace n pufs..

Now how you gonna feed your plants with no hands?

 

[Stray]

have some self respect and use spell check...its a single key stroke with the nose or chin..you ARE having a bad day everything's out of reach..it is now anyway

 

[treeofsatta]

You were right!!!!

treeofsatta, you are panicking for the wrong reason.

At 6.7, it's not just the pH of the water that you should be worried about, because water pH alone has very little affect on the pH of the medium. Do you mix up the 'feed' for one-time use or keep a reservoir. If you keep a reservoir, you do want the pH between 5.0 and 6.0 for the purpose of maxium solubility. IF you mix for one time use and didn't see stuff precipitating in your jug, than you're ok with that aspect.

The factor that has the biggest effect on the medium pH, coco in your case, is the total alkalinity in the water. But also if your water has low to medium TA and you're using a typical hydro 'nute' bottle, than the pH of the water probably drops to right around 5.8 to 6.0 as soon you mix it up.

What is your source of water?

Hi

I mix up the feed for one time use and no its not in a reservoir. Normally my pH is 5.8 with using coco a+b, canazym & rhizo & ec 1.4

The water is fresh from the tap at ec 0.5...

You might see the ends of the leave turn to the side a little, But other than that they will be fine.

If you are really conserned about it here is what you can do And I will be willing to help
After you are finnished budding and curing it sent it all to me and I will perform a smoke test on it and then I will let you know if you had harmed it or not.

Do you ever have unexplained problems with the plants or are they usually healthy? That .5 EC out of the tap makes me suspicious.

 

[treeofsatta]

There are a few brown spots on some of the older leaves and the bottom leaves are dying and yellowing, but they're old and been there for ages, also the canopy is thick so i think they're not getting the light they need to stay alive down there.

The tops sometimes have slightly yellow tips but I think this was from an earlier problem of not watering frequently enough.

Why is 0.5 ec out the tap suspicious?
