PH

[SmashGuitar]

Hello growers! I have been having issues for a few weeks now. Hopefully it not to late! I am making this post so i don't hi jack johnb1963 post. Toker1 you may of just saved my ladies. I never knew that the The Run off ph is estimated to be the half way point between the PH going in vs the root zone ph.
Example 6.5 going in with 7.5 run off = 8.5 ph in the root zone. This makes so much sense! I have been adjusting my PH in compared to the run off PH. Not thinking about root zone PH! I was way off looking at my notes. Toker1 it took my 10 to 15 mins to understand what you wrote about root zone! I read that comment 30 times LOL I do have some nice red coloring LOL

I grow in coco and my ph in is usually 6.5 my out flow is a little lower ,if it gets to low or high I flush until the outflow is in range , I water to run off so these things usually dont happen . If you are growing in soil if you flush to much your soil will lose nutrients

SmashGuitar Your plants do not look like they are at death's door. Just what are your issues? Is it possible you are just over reacting?

Yes, PH at the root zone is what matters most. Glad that info helped.

Thanks again Toker1 In the next few weeks i will be starting my 2nd indoor grow with 3 GG#4 autos and i am certainly using your advice on PH ing properly. I might even start a grow journal.
starramus i think i am over reacting i am well into flower and i think the buds are leaching nutes from the leaves causing the discoloring. I bought this digital microscope and checked out the terps. I think i got a couple weeks to go!

The yellowing leaves are natural in the autumn of the plants life cycle. No worries.
