My plants have been yellowing from the oldest leaves up and have also been drooping for the past week or so ... I was told I had a combination of overwatering and pH problems.
So I let them dry out the past 4 days.
I did a foliar feed with the 1/3 strength a few hours ago and put them back under the lights.
About an hour ago I took them back out and I started flushing them all.
The runoff pH for all of them was around 7.5 and up so I've been flushing with an acidic tap water flush to bring the pH down. It looks like i'm getting them to around the high 6's at this point.
Unfortunately the pH testing kit I have is liquid and everytime some of the dirt gets into the test vial it darkens the water thus making it harder to acurately tell if the water is just dark or if the pH is really still in the 7's.
At this point i'm thinking of just getting some promix and transplanting so my FoxFarms 60/40 Ocean Forest and Light Warrior mix doesn't rape my plants anymore.
if you couldn't tell i'm quite frustrated and bullshit at this whole situation.
Part of me just wants to get a bunch of Lime and mix it with the Ocean Forest mix but the other part of me doesn't want to risk doing all that work just to have it fuck up again.
Promix and transplant OR Lime the ocean forest and transplant ???
... ?
