Whats with the color?

Anyone know what this could be?. Ph 6.5 water and sometimes calmag. Black gold organic soil, temperature-82 degrees. Humidity-45%
Runoff water ph at 5.5 sometimes lower.. she's in a 2gal pot

If it’s going in 6.5 which is already too low for soil and coming out 5.5 and lower. Why are you ph’ing your water? Use plain tap to water organic soil. Shouldn’t need calmag either

Since i started growing I've always been told to ph 6.5 for soil. Will give it a try. Thanks for the tip

If you’re using organics and amending with organic amendments. You shouldn’t need to ph. Plus your runoff is low. So high ph tap water is a good solution.

Ok so I want to ask. I have the black gold organic soil. I was also giving blue planet nutrients. Would I be stupid to use that in organic soil?.

you’re using salt based nutrients in your organic soil. That’s not an issue it’s just a different deal.

I will be honest I struggled with bottled nutrients in organic soil so I won’t be much help. Not saying people don’t make it work, it just didn’t work for me. I switched to organic amendments and recycle my soil etc.

I’d bet you’re over fertilizing and something is locked out because of it. Also throwing your ph out of whack.

Wait for some more experienced growers with your setup.
