This is what PH problems look like !

Dutchman. I stand by what I'm say from experience.
I Stop checking ph for a couple of watering and all of a sudden in the 5third week fof flowering I was at 4.0-5.0. I pushed "8" gallon @ 6.3 ph and only raised.2 -.4, like I said I carry 28 gal. In and out per 3 watering and was not going to carry 32 gallon per plant multipled by 4 plants (128gallons in and out) over the next two or more weeks so I push in a 5 gallon pot PH 8.0-8.5 in 2 gallons and first runoff hit 6.ph. I did the rest of the plant that way and it was done, saved a lot of wasted water and time.
I'm only repeating myself here because I was desperate and need a now fix for a extreme problem if you need a NOW solution I stand by what I have said with experience to back it up. If you have the time flushing at 6.ph will get you there after a couple more weeks or so.
Don't give up and good luck.
 
I need a " now " fix as you say Mr Furley. I think ill try it. I cant keep drowning the plant with 10-15 gallons of water every week anyway. The plant is having so much trouble right now it cant hurt much more. Ill let you know how it turns out. Cant water till tomorrow or Thursday.
 
I ain't never had bottled water ph 5.8, it's all different from 9.0- 4.5. All bottled water is different, never seen 5.8 in at least 20 different kinds of bottled water.
 
What 3 brands did you check? Most all I've checked were well over 7.0 because that's where they are supposed to be high for your health,
 
So I followed Mr Furleys and OJH's recommendations. I flushed with floraclean at PH 5.1-5.3 . It was at a point where the plants were dieing and it was no loss trying. I have to say it was pretty successful. I had put 30 gallons or so through one plant over 3 weeks and it had little effect. Once I did what was recommended they started to come back within a few days. They actually have some new growth on both plants and will easily make it to harvest. ( did I just jinx myself)?). Many Thanks to My Furley and OJH. Ill post pics tomorrow.
 
This is a great comeback story DM, So stoked that you got her back under control. A bit sad a first, but this is a great tutorial for the rest of us who have yet to deal with that type of soil issue. Soil is awesome for buffering and way less maintenance when compared to coco, however when things go south, not an overly easy fix, yet you have shown the group that it can be done.. GREAT JOB..
 
Wow thanks alot for the kind words Socks but I have to admit I was ready to throw in the towel on this grow. I was just so disgusted after many "easy" grows in a row. I got cocky and thought I knew it all., lol. Thanks to Mr Furley and OJH for there suggestions. The PH is still around 7 after just running 7 gallons thru each plant again today but there is new growth as evidenced by theses pics below. Two to three weeks to harvest.

The runt had a broken stem early on and with the same PH issues just never really recovered. These are both autos by the way.
 
Yup, there looking pretty good since they started to recover. there putting on more "sugar" in the last few days.Thanks for your support also alltatup 8-) .
 
Dutchman, this brings to mind my second grow last year. I got the worst case of root rot imaginable: my plants totally stalled, I thought I was gonna have to junk the entire grow, and everyone on here told me to keep fighting and not give up. Ultimately I learned more than I ever wanted to learn about root rot, the plants survived although they were stunted in their growth, but the bud turned out good. Cannabis loves humans, and it's so generous to us...
 
A little rough around the edges..lol.. However a great save, even though it sucks when we make mistakes, all is not lost as that is when we REALLY LEARN by pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone. You didnt give up on her and she didnt give up on you.. I am sure she will give you finest meds she can muster and likewise I am sure you will be grateful despite the nerve racking learning curve..
 
Hey Dutch, had to laugh at your "knew it all" comment because I went through the same lesson on my last grow! I guess we all have at some point but looks like you are on the road to recovery!
