Yeah alltatup,
That's almost exactly what I'm getting at. Lets use nitrogen deficiency. It is a yellowing in older leafs. They turn yellow because the plant is puling that nitrogen out of them and diverting it towards new bud formation. That's what makes new growth always look healthier than the other parts of the plant.
pH is how nutrient toxicities and lockout happen.
Plants use different processes (Diffusion, Bulk Flow, and Osmosis) to move nutrients around. Each process handles concentrations differently.
I personally like to think of it in terms of a person.
Eating too much cake and candy is bad for you. Starving as bad for you. Overdosing on vitamins is bad for you.
If your pH is off it would be like your digestion slowing down and your stomach starts to hurt. For example acid reflex.
If you get to many vitamins you start to puke and your body will start to reject them.

Yeah Green75,
That is exactly what I said summed up.
The only reason I'm posting on this site is to help people learn and learn something myself.
You know the old "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
If I just say' fix your pH ' nobody will never understand why the problem is happening.
Maybe you don't need to know or care to know. In the end I'm hoping it will help someone.

Hey komatchi, not sure where the attitude is coming from man....I just paraphrased it so other people could understand it if they needed it...I found it very informative....just like all the info inside this website that this forum is from...was just keeping it simple...
Post away...knowledge is power

Again thx for the input from everyone. Thx to komatchi I appreciate all the information provided. Details are always important and I think knowing your plants on a macro to micro scale is crucial to produce top grade. Since the transplant about a week ago 70% of my plants are looking healthier.
Wow, they look great! Such a huge difference!
