Hi, let me fill you in first.
Strain: Jack Herer Auto from RQS
Medium: Soil (NPK 14-16-1
- 1,3 galon pot.
Light: 85 Watt CFL bulb (4750 Lumens, 5000K)
ft by ft growbox with intake, exhaust and mixing fans.
Temps: during the night time - around 68F (20C), day - around 77F (25*C)
Humidity: Im growing on a budget so I dont really have any means of controlling it, but they oscillate around 35%
She seemed to be doing great, so I started LST at day 16. She always looked a little dark, but I wasnt to worried, until yesterday when i found out that my pH pen was broken, and was giving bad readings. In result I've been feeding her pH (+/-)7.8 water since yesterday. I immediately pH'd my water to the correct level (around 6) and fed her yesterday. Ive been giving her just water, since the soil is already fertilized. It takes a while for the soil to dry out, so I water her no more then once every 3 days (sometimes even 4) - when the soil is dry inch deep. Today I noticed that tips of the new growth leaves got really dark. Pictures dont do justice, theyre darker irl.

It's my first grow, so Im obviously lacking experience, but Im guessing that this problem is caused by feeding her wrong ph water. How do I help her?
Thanks
