Well we may have big trouble in little china...
I topped them off last night with more water, and because i am 1/16 idiot, i added a little more tigerbloom to the mix. Mind you this is my mix from monday that was 1/2 strength, PH'd and molasses. I added like 1/4 t of FF TB. This morning the plants looked rough!! And I had some discoloration on the oldest ones leaves, and some drooping.. Also seemed like they hadnt drank much. I had to rush to work and I just got home. The leaves perked up but I was worried about the discolaration so I ph'd some of the leftover water: 4.4!!!!!!!! So now im in a total panic! I think i need an emergancy flush with correctly ph'd water?? Please help guys. I think this is the same problem that sent a little girl to her grave. I have small pots-- 6"x6". I usually make a 1/2 gallon of 'tea' and this is three feedings worth. I cant believe how crazy that PH got, but it makes sense i guess. If my usual tap is 7.5-8 and I PH it down. Normally people let tap sit out to natural PH down. So i adjust mine, then let it sit it continues to go down. I guess the chlorine and what not disapte. Damn Im an idiot. OK, enough sulking, LETS FIX THIS GIRL!!!
I rarely ever PH down my water which is like 7 to 8 PH.
After adding nutes it will go down and sometimes I PH up my mixture.
If I remember right cold water can PH higher and then tend to drop a little as it warms up.
