2 low...? It's in a soiless med. 5.8-6.2 is what I read and have been told. Please explain why I need a higher ph in pro mix?
Thanks
I agree with everyone else in here that you have a variety of issues going on, although none are horribly bad at this point. I can tell you that running a 50/50 veg/bloom mix works for me at most points, but I can't tell you it will work for you, although mixing a little extra N into your mix usually doesn't hurt, particularly in early bloom.
I don't find very much use at all in my program for the Big Bloom, more of a snake oil, although it may help you with flavor a bit.
Before I added Big Bloom I might be looking to add a cal mag supplement like PTB told you.
I went and got some N 6-0-0 and for over a week I have been putting in cal/mag from advanced nutz.
After over looking my own thread,It's clear my ph needs to come way up and to not feed just water untill stable.
i say 5.6 is to low stick with 6.0 to 6.2 in ph... if its to low it wont take up nutes right causing lockout im also not a fan of going above 800ppm's unless you KNOW the strain can take it.
To FIX almost ANY problem flush with correct ph water and flush till the ppm's and ph are both coming out where they should be and then wait till then need waterd again and hit with a MILD nute solution till they are back on there feet.

I didnt read the whole tread, but i would like to say i had a plant doing this, and tried all kind of shit to fix it, nothing worked.
I havested earily because of how bad it got, came to find out it was locked out, because it was root bound, dont know if that is what it is but thats what happened to me.

Hey man.
Well I am going to toss this out there considering I think your nutrient regiment 11-1200ppm and a pH of 6.0 is ideal, which your at. I believe you are dealing with a gas by-product of diisobutyl phthalate. Its basically a chemical used to keep plastics soft and flexible.
The reason I say this is because I was effected by it. It took me 6 months to figure out the problem and count less amounts of money in trying different things.
Are you growing in a tent? Do you have any sort of irrigation tube running with the lettering "n-g-w" on it? Or anything stamped DBP or DIBP. Those are all indicators of plastics containing diisobutyl phthalate and that shit will slowly kill your plant(s). Trust me my friend, I was only harvesting 25% of my full potential for 6 months. I was bleeding from bills and almost had to pull the cord because nothing I tried worked until I removed my grow tent. It was mylar line too so dont assume its only white PVC lined tents that have this problem.
Look around you room, examine all the items made out of plastic and see if you can verify that they dont have any of the markings I mentioned. Especially soft,flexible plastics. And if your in doubt remove it anyway. I think you have an off gassing situation on your hands and if you dont isolate it, it will hunt you until its eliminated. I read about people that had only 4ft of this tubing in their environment and it slowly choked and killed their plants. My plants looked just like yours and it only gets worse, flower formation will halt and nutrient uptake will be almost none existent. The leafs start off by yellowing bad, then the necrosis evolves further and the leafs become so brittle that you can crumble them in your hands. I would seriously consider this information as a viable solution my friend. Peace and keep us informed, thats what we are all here for. To lend a helping hand.
