Help my 2 plants are suffering.

Not at the moment, ordered a soil ph meter, should be here soon. Thanks for the reply.

This will help you immensely, atleast it changed my grows for the better. I’d put my money on it being a simple ph issue that would be quickly remedied with the right tools to show you the problem. Love the socks BTW

Thanks @Newman’sOwn, I'll Ph the water and the nutrients from now on and test the ph of the soil when the meter gets here

I wanted a Bluelab but as is typical in life I only bought a soil ph meter in response to an immediate problem so I got what the local store had and am very happy anyway. I ended up with the Hanna Groline Being a total novice my opinion is to be taken with a grain of salt but I like the quality and trust Hanna products in my reefing hobby and back when I was in the water quality profession

I use Hanna groline products and they have been fabulous so far, including the ph meter that @Newman’sOwn has.

No, I haven't been, well I did yestereday and it was 7.01 PH.

You most certainly need to adjust your waters ph when watering to 6.2-6.8ph. I prefer to have the water down around 6.3-6.4 ph.

I just tested run off of one plant, if that means anything, it came out as 5.8 ph. What should the water ph be of peat based soil?

Very interesting I have seen it a couple times this week stressing over their soil ph.. I grow in coast of maine TLS and they told that ph your water with do very little with TLS you water will turn to natural ph very fast.. That being said I do ph my water to around 6.2-6.6 as long as it's some where in there I send it I stopped checking runoff reading for ALL girls awhile ago just watch my inputs and the plants I am still believe that runoff reading can be very miss leading in soil.. Almost appears as if it could be just a fade BUT I don't know that strain or breeder


"As a living soil the ph of your water will make very little difference because the soil is naturally buffered and will return quickly to it’s natural PH."

The water going in at 7.01ph and out at 5.8ph suggests to me that you have a hot soil, too much nutes in the soil.

Thanks @Talonxracer, I tested The EC of the run off and it came out at 0.805 EC, what do you think I should do?
I've also only been feed them low amounts I thought.
