HELP!!!!!!
Hello, and thanks ahead for your time and patients. My main concern is with a big buddha seeds blue cheese strain. Its 2 months old, grown from seed. This plant has been topped, and took a while to start growing again but other than that everything seemed ok. I had over fed this plant a little bit, the bottom two leafs and the leaf tips had turned yellow (atleast that's what I think that I did.) I am feeding this plant advance nutrients grow, micro, bloom, and botanicare fulvex (fulvic acid) grow and micro at @ 2 l per 2 liter, bloom @ 0.5 ml per 2 liter and fulvex @ 4 ml per 2 liter. I was originally using well water but i bought a ph and ppm meter and it tested 8.3 ph and 345 ppm. So I started using distilled. The finale ppm of my nutes in distilled is around 530. Also after mixing I have been using lemon juice to bring the ph down around 6.5. I bought one of those soil ph probes at lowes for like $10 but I don't think it works because it read lemon juice as a 6.0 when lemon juice is around 2.3. I have't tried testing the soil with my digital meter because the only direction I could find was (add some dirt to some water, wait 10 minutes, test the water.) Anyway, now the bottom leaves are completely yellow, the tips of every single leaf is yellow, the plant overall has become lighter, and reddish brown spots have appeared. some of my other plants are developing these spots to along with a lightening of new growth but don't have tips that are as severely yellowed. since this problem is more or less to some degree affecting all of my plants, I am asuming (right or wrong) that it's a nute problem. I have now for the last 6 days only given these plants distilled water. I have no idea what to do now, my research has just led me to realize that I need help from a pro. The sooner that I can get help the better, my babies are sick and the thought of them dying is just too much to bear. thanks.
