Hey guys, woke up this morning and all my leaves looked like they have died, yesterday they were pointing up a bit and twisting, now, they just look dead. This is my 1st grow, so be easy with me.,lol. The only thing I done differently was get the ph 'right' because I didn't have any ph down throughout the whole grow...now this happened...View attachment 4917393

Hmmm thats a bummer. I rekon that oil heater cooked them. Pretty hard to keep those heaters below toasty.

Well the first place I would look is what has changed. So you “got the ph right” what exactly does this mean to you?
So, im growing in coco but have just been using coco a and b, and tap water, and the ph has been about 6.7-6.8 the whole time, and growing well ,I used ph down, 2 days ago,to bring it to 6.2 and this has happened..

Ok, standard questions, what are you growing in, what have you been feeding her, how did you "right" the Ph, temps, relative humidity, why did you wait so long to seek guidance?

My emergency advice is quarter strength nutes and transport by optic foliar as a foliar spray with some seaweed/kelp.

Lots of issues. I would have also reckoned that heater fried them being that the one closest to it looks worse than the other. But you said its been off.

It doesnt look like the light is powerful or close enough to cause that. Do you have light leaks? They look sort of like they revegged. Lack of water can do that. High heat also. Root rot can do that. About all i can think of.

Beside wrong treatment of medium, how you measure pH and how much did it take to lower it to 6,2? Where your tap starts at?

It's been hot in the uk the past few days and the temps got to about 31/32 in my tent. I've been feeding her pretty consistently, checking when the pot is light and stuff and it's been cool for 2 months. High heat is the only thing i can think of..can save her at all???

Pls explain the first part of your sentence? It took quite a bit of fiddling, probably too much, with the ph up and down to get to 6.2 tbh.

You are treating coco like a soil, thats a big issue. In short you feed every watering and you water at least daily to runoff going to dispose. Thats why they called it DTW (drain to waste). pH up and down together or I just got you wrong?

pH down didnt do this unless you poured it on the plant.

31/32C is the culprit if you have been watering.

Cannabis is a tough plant. Could survive if you fix the temps and give it some time. Dont stress them out in this time

Its best to do a little down. Mix it up and give some time to adjust the pH. Add a little more. And stir up more. Then add more. This way you arent overcorrecting and chasing the pH up and down. Eventually you get a feel for how much is needed

Theres no nice way to put it, but mate its over for them. Theres no coming back from there that late in the piece. Even if you could get them back to something it’ll be a long hard disappointing road to an only substandard result. You could start & finish another grow in the time it’ll take to never nurse them back to anything. If ya learn a lesson from the experience its not a total disaster. If it happens again next time keep it to yourself
