ph problems please help

[luckybudda]

ok i just recieved a couple of babies from my friend who didnt ever test the ph while watering.the plants are extremely yellow and are not looking healthy.they are about 3 weeks old and under an hps 1000 that is about 5 ft away from plants. the yellowing is not from the light.si my question is do plants usually come back after a ph deficiency? and if so do plants often hermaphrodite from this problem?all answers are appreciated thanks

were they clones or seeds ?
are u in hydro or soil ?
any pics?
any green new growth?
whats the ph ?

 

[luckybudda]

they are clones in soil no new growth its only been a day since theyve been under the light. they were previously under a fluorescent. i have no clue what ph water he was using. he lost his ph meter so it was never tested.

what makes you think its a ph problem?
maybe just using up energy for the roots ,,,your new growth should be green eace:

if you think its the ph test the run of and adjust accordingly ,,,but i think its more likely to be what 4u said

ph in soil you want around 6.5 ,,,,eace:

Make sure you check your water runoff's PH. Sometimes soil can lower or raise your PH quite a bit. I send my Nutes into the soil at 7.2,,,runoff is 6.8. Another words if I PH my water and nutes at 6.8,,I would end up with to low a PH 6.4,, for soil. Perfect PH for soil is 6.7 to 6.8.

:yeahthat:

also found this
Cannabis will grow in almost any soil*, but it flourishes when the pH is between 6.5 and 7. Commercial potting soil almost never has a pH above 7.5. A lower pH is more common, even as low as 5.5. Some potting soils purchased at a nursery are pH balanced and near a neutral 7. However, most potting soils have a tendency to be acidic.

acording to Fox Farm Cowboy..propper PH for soil is 6.3-6.8 but you are doing a great job with your ladies..and my new friend..you say its a PH issue but yet you have not checked..hmmmmm could be Tap water was used. get some Disstilled what from food store. get a moister meter from Home depot..wait for the meter to read 1 or dry..then water the next light cycle..you need to let the soil dry compleatly..the plant dont need much water..Good luck
