Just this guy, ya know?
This is a soil grow right? If that 5.9 is your water ph, that's a hydro ph bro, you should be between 6-7 in soil. I would just ph up the nutrient water when you feed and keep an eye on them.

You got it before it started to look bad so you should be fine once you pH it in range. Good luck and check back in if you can to let us know if they get better or worse :tiphat:

So, today it would appear that this issue is working itself out...or at the very least not spreading! Thank god.
Of course, im Still going to pH my water at 6.5 and ph my feedings at set 6.5
Looking to get a couple more weeks of vegetation before switching to 12/12.

Looks like things have turned around so I went ahead and installed my scrog.
