That's good that he's still willing to bring it in for you.

Earth Juice was the first fert I used and it got the most positive feedback from those I shared my harvest with.... Although it was HA-OG Kush, so the genetics were fire to begin with.

When I'd gone into the hydro store to ask how/what/when to feed my plants the EJ Grow, Bloom & Catalyst were all that I was recommended to use.

I was slightly confused when I most recently decided to return to using Earth Juice and found out it's a multi part line. Only five products are available at my local stores: grow, bloom, xatalyst, microblast & meta-K. Would use the full line if the shops would carry them as it seems to bring about aromas that I'd forgotten cannabis could produce. :yes:

Greetings all, new member & EJ user here. I'm using EJ nutes with amazon bloom/20% hydroton. I started with tap water/no ph adjustment per instructions. After a few weeks the plants seemed to lockout. I fed them tap water(~6.3 ph normally) for a few weeks and they seemed to recover. When I resumed feeding with the EJ(ph~4.0) everything went south again.

I've been over it with the EJ people, and they insist I can't be having a ph issue. They also said to bubble the tea for 12-24 hours and the ph would rise on its own. I've bubbled the tea for 4 days, and the ph stays steady at 4.0 .

Now my plants are showing multiple deficiencies, and I'm majorly bummed. Last feed, I ph'd the tea to ~6.2, I'm going to stick with that and hope for the best. Anyone have any experiences like this, please HELP ME! Here are a few pics from yesterday.

How are your environmental conditions? Normal temps? Not over watering? Cold and over watering can cause what your pics seem to show.

If the environment is alright and your not over watering or over feeding I would feed a slurry of water and ewc.
The microbes in ewc can't hurt and might help....best of luck....scrappy

Temps are pretty good. 75-79F lights on, 65-72 lights off. Humidity usually around 50%. Don't believe I'm overwatering(I use a moisture meter, and let the pots dry out about 2/3 of the way down).

I honestly believe this is a ph issue. I seem to be manifesting multiple deficiencies, all of which can be caused by low ph, which the EJ certainly provides. For whatever reason, the amazon bloom isn't regulating the ph the way the EJ guys say it should. Don't tell them that tho!

What excactly do you guys mean by a "slurry of water and ewc"? How do I make/administer it?

Just water and ewc mixed into a slurry, and poured on the soil surface.

The soil ph is due in a large part to soil microbes. They help in other ways too but it seems ph is the question now. High end compost, vermi compost and ewc have those microbes in roughly that order of quality. Since these microbes are living things be wary of old plastic bags of questionable quality that you typically see in hydro stores. Instead make your own or check craigs list or ask organic farmers where to get high end castings, or compost.....scrappy
