COCO COIR What does this mean?

[Lewisbeattie]

I received this plant and put it straight into flower, which is now 3weeks in... I fed it for 2 weeks with my ph meter out of order, I was feeding ph2.6 thinking it was 6 for nearly 2 weeks... have since adjusted/calibrated.
not sure why this is happening: some of the tips of the leaves are dying. Any ideas?

Pictures? Would help a lot

Do you really mean a PH of 2.6 I wouldnt think you could get such an extreme with just store bought nutes and tap water. A ph of 2.6 is a very strong acid and would be the reason your plant is sick. I dont think even car battery acid would be that strong.

Need input!
I have had soil crash to 3.0, IF that 2.6 is not a typo, get it out of that soil and into a soil thats 6.5 (6.0-7.0), use that acidic soil to grow blueberries.

 

[Lewisbeattie]

Now? Thanks

 

[Lewisbeattie]

No typo on coco coir

 

[Catfish22]

Yep, 2.6 would burn those roots right up.

Flush them to run off let them dry till they feel lighter when you " lift " up a container. Use a food for flowering MJ go 1/2 strength at first feed no more nitrogen food or very little.

A high ppm flush will balance ph. But how much were you feeding when the ph was off? Ppm or ec
