I hydrated with low pH water due to the products

[Virgin Ground]

Can you do a tap water test?
Just pour a glass of water from your sink and let it sit for 24 hrs open to the air. Then test its pH.
This will allow for any off-gassing to occur.
Your pH can change quite a bit.
You may not need to buy bottled water unless where you live has warnings about not drinking the tap water due to contaminants.

You also may not need to change the pH of your water. The soil should buffer your pH. If you have very alkaline water it could be a different story.

Some places have a municipal water report online. You can see if you have access to one where you live.

The pH swings and/or total lack of food are killing your girls.

perfect how many ml of water do you advise me to give in the night hours ? and at what ph ? with or without nutrients ? for now ?

You are just doing a water test for now.
Fill a glass halfway. There will be enough to fill your test tube. Let it sit for 24 hrs.
Test after 24 hrs with your pH kit and determine the pH of that water.

ok for the moment I continue to give water tested at ph 6.8 .. in the meantime I test that of the faucet

 

[CaptainLucky]

no I am not using cal mag.

I’m not familiar with this brand but a lot of nutes say to add if needed. I would recommend you check Jorge’s nutrients chart and determine what is needed. CL

 

[Porky82]

ok perfect now i am giving water at ph 6.8 everyday... how can i help the cycle for recovery? if indeed this is the problem... for yes... from ph 4.5 i went to 8 everyday.

Do not water every day! Plants that's size should be watered twice a week!
Constant wet soil throwing pH out is why you have lockout in the first place.

 

[SmokingWings]

Of course this is the kit -- I'll explain.
-tap water ph 8.5 which I will correct with products and dilute with other sources to spend less. already I tested that by diluting various sources I get a ph 7 per liter.
- supermarket water 6.8 ph only bottle I have been using this for 20 days
-1 liter supermarket water and nutrient ph 4.0
-3 liter supermarket water and nutrients ph 7.0

pH test kits using the drops can be accurate with a little bit of practice reading the colors.

I am looking at the photograph of your test kit and have to ask if you fill the tube half way up with the water you are testing?

And, do you rinse out the tube after the test? If you leave that little bit at the bottom it might be enough to change the results the next time you do a test.

hi, the darkest is from the tap, the clearest and the water from the supermarket after 24 hours the ph has remained the same as I had already tested. now I'm giving a liter and a half of water a day since here in Italy it's 35 degrees outside and 28.8 inside the grow box.

Ok. What I would do is to get some pH readings with a full strength dose of nutrients based upon what week you are on for their schedule.
Test both the store bought and some off-gassed (sitting for 24 hours) tap.
See what those readings are. Biobizz says the nutrients typically lower the pH once added. If they are even close to neutral or slightly acidic , you can just use it and the soil should buffer the nutrients into the correct pH zone.
The liming agent used in Biobizz should handle that just fine.

You need to get some food into them and get on a watering schedule based upon how dry the plants are. If they are drying out fully in 24 hrs, then they probably need bigger pots. You should be able to go a few days between waterings unless the heat has been abnormally high and dry. Some outdoor plants may need extra care during high heat and will have to have some water daily and partial shade. You are growing in a tent though.
Things don't dry out as fast as they do under full sun.
Your plants don't look too big for their pots so maybe you need some help with your watering technique.

Now they are recovering I am giving them each a liter of water a day.

You shouldn't be watering daily.
You should be fully saturating the soil until it can't hold anymore water/nutrients.
Don't water/feed again until the plant gets pretty dry.

Read the link that I posted to you. It will help a lot.

The plants are already dry one of them has suffered a lot I will never let them lack water again.

 

[Braddah Waiheesohai]

ph I'm measuring it with a drip liquid, diluting it with a minimum of water and product... based on the color I adjust with the PH looks green It's good NOW.
Before, the products were too concentrated and it would bring my ph to red...now I've solved it.
But I have both plants with stunted growth as you say well....
they have been this size and stressed leaves for 20 days now... i don't want to waste my time and current how can i solve....
currently they are only feeding on ph 7.0 water...but I don't see any improvement....
No I don't use chemicals only the ones listed above

Your color should be YELLOW with that kit to be in the proper PH range. PH of 7 is too high.

 

[Virgin Ground]

Yes. It doesn't have nutrients added yet.

We need to check the pH of a mixed nutrient solution. If it's even close acceptable the Biobizz should buffer the solution into the correct range.

That is a PH of 7.5 and 8-9. You want to shoot for a color between 6.0 and 6.5.

You grow in hempy?
You actually need to pay close attention to the pH . Op is in a buffered soilless mix. It doesn't need to be exactly perfect for the system to work.
The soil has buffers to adjust any inputs.

Those readings were for plain water and not a mixed nutrient solution. That pH should be lower.

I'm journaling my hobby hempy. I also have grown and am growing in LOS, outdoor in the ground (irrigated and dry), potting soil mixes, hydro (dwc, flood and drain, etc), aero, and aqua.

Soil does have the ability to buffer.

Yep, that's what I'm sayin.

Hi, to date the situation is this, it seems that I managed to get them to take them back.. I've been wearing the darker ones for 25 days. the lighter ones are 2 months old.. they have grown much better
