the purp is to much temp swing from day to night and has stoppoed producing chlorophyl. its not realy a good thing as we need that to convert the sugars inside her with phtosynthisus
the yellow you have isnt norml. thats burnt from bad ph. to cold will slow the plants ability to process the foods and mess with the ph. whats the night and day temps

sory wasnt on all day. i have to work days so can only be on mornings and eves and weekends to help on here.

anyways..so the pen is out of calabration. so now you need to adjust it to read 2.4. and make sure the vinigar is at 68 degree. that is true reading temp for ph and foods. a couple degree will throw it out if it isnt a temp compenstaing pen,. then go back and next time it needs watering check the run off again.....may want to change the batteries while your at it

ok there shoyuld be a small hole on one side or on the case somehwere. stick a small flat head jewelers screw driver in there and turn it,. youll see the numbers change as you do so watch what way to go in right direction to set it. runse in clean water inbetween calabrating and never reuse the cal solution or vinigar, toss it out once yoiu use it

is this what you bought? if those type suck, they arent accurate either. may show close at the probe but then what about the rest of the medium, then we need to break the roots and jam the probe all over the medium to get an over all reading, it doesnt register correctly in liquid, so cant be used for nutes and waterings. and ya if this is it then there is no calabrating that one. there are cheepo online for 20 bucks that read liquids
