Lights To Close?

[Jeg]

If no one else answers you I will if you'd like

Now when correcting ph do i over compensate just water with 6 until its right? And the tester i have also tests light. Looks like the led has to be right up on them too.

Yes - API fish tank pH up and down can both be used safely with plants. If you have access to a hydroponics store or can order on-line I would recommend General Hydroponics pH UP and pH Down. They also sell pH indicator drops that are cheap and easy to use. (Nebula has a great video of this on the GWE site). You only need 5 to 10 drops of pH down when using so you don't need much.
I am still not sure about your lighting. The 60 Watt LED grow light is not very powerful. Hard to say how far away it should be, but the CFL's can be and should be as close as possible. (Practically touching if possible.) Best of luck!

Seems to read it ok.

That's great for checking moisture but not so much for ph. A lot of people use it as a guide for watering.

[Kornbred]

Yes the 2 prong thing. And will do

[Jeg]

Would this work in a pinch for up/down?

[Jeg]

Ph tester for soil?. Two prong thingy?

[Jeg]

Get you some drops from pool section. Phenol red.

So my ph tester is for soil, whats the best way to adjust ph? Keep in mind im currently buying supplies at walmart and lowes.

[Kornbred]

Got a ph tester. Gotta fix that lol. One is to high and one is to low.

Got to be able to test your pH, test it before you water , test the runoff that will tell you the condition of your roots.

The spot-gro light. 65w

[Kornbred]

The led daylight bulb is 5000k with 1550 lumens. Idk what the hanging t18 is, kinda purpleish. Dont know anything about the 65w spot-gro, but ill post a picture of the bulb. Also have a 5000k cfl with 800 lumens. And have an led that is 3000k with 800 lumens that i swap with the other 3 screw in bulbs.

You don't have to listen to me and I'm newish but your plants are in major need of a good light source. Why not cfl's? They are cheap. If I was trying to save those two plants I would have two 2700k and two 6500k. The second one looks salvageable not sure about first. The bulbs you listed don't sound right to me. Just my thoughts. Good luck
