First Time Growing

Soil plant:

I checked the ph and ppm of the water i was giving.
Ph was raised to 8 as well
ppm 220

Both plants are in one tent which is at 26c and 40%humid

I am using TBN UP/Down. and honestly i am mixing well before checking and i am not throwing to much into the watermix. sometimes i gotta do two/three times of TBN down before it is the number i am looking for.

also, i forgot to mention that the water mix that i am giving the soil plants is the same water mix from the hydro.
I just created the soil plants feed first and than i changted the ph so it can be used for hydro.

but only hydro plant is showing signs. Is this a deficiency or a lockout?
 
By the way, the soil plant feeding mixture was phed to 6.5 before i gave it allot of water. Hence why the soil being overwaterd. but today i read that soil dosnt need to be phed. Quiet honestly i've never see that tool and its ph to go below 7. I have tested the tool and the ph read does work.

so just to confirm before i do anything,
My water level is falling but ph & EC are rising. meaning that the plant is drinking more than eating.

changing the 25% of water solution and adding tab water should give me better signs or fix this.
 
Also, from the learning curve and these little once getting the hits I have a feeling that they would be males. I've searched around but havn't found a proper blog or anything that we can turn them into girls.
They are plants ... Not people ...lol. Sorry ... just couldn't resist.
 
You’ll have to Change the water to be precise. Do you have a ph pen and EC meter?
the ph pen are off by .02
the TDS reader give me the ppm reading

Also, i just took 25% water out of that bucket and added tab water than phed to 6.25 current ppm 180

plants have males and females.
I've read that to much stress and hot temps will make them males. Not sure how true it can be.
 
@Pennywise any ideas with the soil plants. Two days now and the leaves are just down
 
Over watering is usually the issue with soil plants.
sure, the only thing is they werent overwaterd before. The only reason i overwaterd them today was to kinda flush the soil. :hmmmm:

I know that. But you can't turn a male plant into a female & you said you were looking for a blog that showed how to do it. Yes, you can Hermie a Female & make it turn male.
On the other hand you can take a male person & turn them female.
It was a joke.
Are you from the U.S. or is Craigslist worldwide ? I seen you bought stuff off there.

@Emilya would appreciate your feedback on these plants. For two days the leaves just been downwards
 
Let's look carefully at your watering method. Your plants have all the signs that the lower roots are shut down because they have been under water for too long. Your plant is dying... it is drowning.

Take some time to play with the moisture setting of that 3way meter. Forget the soil pH for now, you totally do not understand the concept of soil pH... that is for another time, and I don't think it has anything to do with your problem.

Use the moisture setting and slowly push your probes into the soil, first 3" deep, like if you had put your finger in to see if it was time to water. Push it in another inch and look what happens... it gets a little wetter. Keep pushing it down until that meter pegs all the way to the right, indicating WET. Raise it up and down a few times until you can determine how deep this water table is on the inside of that container. There is a lake down there, that you have never let go down all the way to the bottom. The top of that lake acts like a diaphragm to pull oxygen deep down into the soil from the top and in cloth grow bags, the sides. Those big feeder roots at the bottom have to get oxygen periodically, or their natural reaction is to protect the plant from the flood until it goes away. Your plant is going into an almost hibernation mode at the moment, trying to survive that constant stagnant water in the bottom of your container.

You should not water again until your moisture probe can show you that the water table has dropped down to the last inch of that container. That region at the bottom never dries out because of capillary action between the roots and the bottom of the container, but if you wait till you can see that the water is down to that last inch, you can be assured that your roots have gotten oxygen on that watering cycle. In veg, forcing the plant through a clear wet/dry cycle builds up the roots as they strengthen on each cycle because they are trying to find all the water. In flower, where to tend to try to push water at the plants and never let them dry out, I have realized about every 4th watering I want them to dry out too, all the way to the bottom, just to reenergize the roots with a good hit of oxygen.

You have seen it referenced in other people's signatures, I am sure, but please ready my How to Properly Water article. We can save your plant, but you need to let her dry out now.
