It's only 1 plant and only a couple leaves so far, I'm thinking manganese problem as a result of my ph being too high, thoughts?

Honestly would not even worry about that if the plant is green and happy don't fuck with it even if you see a really small spot on a leaf. If it's not all over don't worry.

Fox farm works that's what I started with. I'm a coco grower now. A buddy of mine turned me to the dark side.

I've been concerned with my high ph for a couple weeks now though, I get its only a couple spots but I still want to try and get my ph down to optimal range

You only really need to ph your water your soil will ph it self. As long as you ph of your water is around 6.5 you shouldn't have any problems
 
Can someone help me out with how dry to let my coco perlite mix for my seedling get before watering her Again? Cup seems light weight but coco is still dark brown. Do I water more based on color or weight?

What a post lol. From what I've read soil users are supposed to use a neutral ph'd water. As you can see the soil lowers the Ph of water once the water absorbs vital nutrients from said soil. If your run off is that low I would suggest not ph-ing your water quite so low, as ideal ranges for the roots to absorb necessary nutrients are higher. I believe the lowest you would want your runoff to be is 5.5. Someone please correct me of this is wrong.[/yeah but get this if ph was 8.6 and I only watered once with 6.6 water and run off was 5.0 should I be adding a higher ph like 9.5

Let the top dry out then feed again. I water my seedlings ever 3 to 4 days depending on size

Damn what's in it. Is super high in dolomite lime or something cuz when I ran soil my run off was 6.5. I would read more into what is in your soil. Because that's crazy to me. My coco run off is 6.1

I PH my water to about 5.8, the run off I was getting 2 weeks ago was 6.9, so I've been lowering the ph of my water below 5.8 hoping my mix is going to start lowering. Really surprised I have a high ph problem using peat, if anything I figured I'd be dealing with a low ph problem
Yes I have an electronic ph tester
 
Just transplanted these two days ago. Went from solo cup containers of Happy Frog to gallon sized containers of a mix: 8 Gallons Sunshine Mix 4, 5 gallons Perlite, 5 gallons EWC. The pH says it's right at 7 but it looks a lot better color wise than it was in Happy Frog, just looks like some heat stress I'm guessing?

The light was also way closer before...

Just hoping it's not transplant stress or this new soil mix not being good.
 
Ive got Russet Mites in my yard grow. Noticed 5 weeks ago. Evil fuckers! I Aza drenched them. Sprayed Green cleaner. Rosemary oil, Cannola oil, Dish soap spray. Garlic,tobacco and red pepper water spray. I sprayed the oily stuff the first week and no more cause to far into flower. Its been mostly the Green Cleaner. i made my own G.Cleaner...2oz iso to 1 gal water and it works!!! The Garlic crap tonight. What about damatrious earth? wettable/dry sulfer? Should I add these to the arsenal???
I just started my 3rd tent run and dont want these fuckers inside too. Ive Green cleaned them, Aza drenched them and today I neemed them. Im going to examine every damaged leaf the whole grow.
I sure would like peoples ideas/opinions of treatment. Great Day.

I like the eucalyptus oil idea. Ive got Rosemary. Ive got other oils written down too. I wonderd how much oil per gal and 8 drops sounds good. The first batch I made was 50ml Canaola oil per gal and 1tsp of Rosemary and it was too oily. Ive read so much about these bugs the last few weeks it all runs together.
I got so spoiled with last years yard grow. I think theyre immune cause I bred them in the yard. I think my yard is infested every year. I was reading they like Mulberry trees and Ive got two monster Mulberrys in the yard. I pulled some M.berry leaves and scoped but dident see any russets. I also read where they like Green beans and I grew them this year too. I puled those leaves and no mites. My green beans never got one green bean! The vines look ok and some flowers but an actual bean, not a one. Im going to go pull some more Green bean leaves and look some more. Makes sense they have mites and need to look harder. I took a small budded branch this morning of a Pergutory and theyre crawling. I dipped the branch in the Garlic, tobacco and hot pepper water and Im scoping soon. I can see once they get into a plant they like thats flowering they are hard to rid.
Heres last years yard grow
